Dependence of interface charge trapping on channel engineering in pentacene field effect transistors.
We investigate the dependence of charge carrier mobility by trap states at various interface regions through channel engineering. Prior to evaluation of interface trap density, the electrical performance in pentaene field effect transistors (FET) with high-k gate oxide are also investigated depending on four channel engineering. As a channel engineering, gas treatment, coatings of thin polymer layer, and chemical surface modification using small molecules were carried out. After channel engineering, the performance of device as well as interface trap density calculated by conductance method are remarkably improved. It is found that the reduced interface trap density is closely related to decreasing the sub-threshold swing and improving the mobility. Particularly, we also found that performance of device such as mobility, subthreshold swing, and interface trap density after gas same is comparable to those of OTS.
