Effect of rubbed polyimide layer on the field-effect mobility in pentacene thin-film transistors
2008
We investigated preferentially oriented pentacene grains on rubbed polyimide (PI) layers under various conditions, such as substrate temperature and cumulative rubbing number. In case of pentacene thin films deposited on rubbed PI at room temperature (RT), compared to unrubbed, the field-effect mobilities were improved by two- to threefold in contrast to the cases of elevated temperature. From the results of crystalline in-plane orientation and thin-film versus bulk-phase ratio, we proposed that pentacence crystalline orientation on a rubbed PI layer could be more favorable at RT, whereas the heating energy might weaken the interaction energy between pentacene molecules and aligned PI layer.
