摘要
Pentacene organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) using high-k NdxNb(1-x)O gate dielectric with different Nb contents (x=1, 0.950, 0.908, and 0.877) are fabricated. The best OTFT has x=0.950, achieving a high carrier mobility of 1.95cm(2)V(-1)s(-1), small threshold voltage of -1.57V, small sub-threshold swing of 0.13Vdec(-1), and small hysteresis of 0.13V. Atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal that the Nb doping can suppress the hygroscopicity of Nd oxide to produce a smoother dielectric surface, on which larger pentacene grains are grown to result in higher carrier mobility. The hysteresis of the OTFTs is attributed to donor-like traps associated with the hydroxide formed in Nd2O3 after absorbing moisture and also acceptor-like traps (in the form of oxygen vacancies) induced by Nb incorporation.
