Abstract
Copper phthalocyanine ( CuPc ) transistors were fabricated using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique to produce bottom contact organic field effect transistors(OFETs) on silicon substrates. The resultant devices were measured and the performance was analyzed using a two-dimensional numerical simulation of the device structure. A hole barrier at the Au∕phthalocyanine source and drain contacts was seen from the experimental data. The numerical simulations were used to extract a barrier height of 0.415 eV at the Au ∕ phthalocyanine contacts. Also, a Frenkel-Poole mobility model was used to account for the drain current in the transistors and a high field mobility of 0.018 cm 2 ∕ V sec was extracted from the experimental data. The resultant device parameters were compared to simple analytical results and the benefits of enhanced two-dimensional modeling of OFETs are shown.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
