摘要
The electrical characteristics of N2O-plasma treated pentacene thin-film transistors are investigated. The treatment can enhance the on current almost two times, increase the field-effect mobility (mu(FE)) greater than 50%, and reduce the interface traps to 31%, compared to devices without plasma treatment. This improvement is presumably owing to pentacene crystallisation enhancement and the decreased traps state density between the pentacene and gate dielectric interface. The N2O-plasma treated gate dielectric has been found effective in improving organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) performance.
