Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | Science advances, 2017, v. 3, no. 9, e1701186 | Abstract: | Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with high mobility and low contact resistance have been actively pursued as building blocks for low-cost organic electronics. In conventional solution-processed or vacuum-deposited OTFTs, due to interfacial defects and traps, the organic film has to reach a certain thickness for efficient charge transport. Using an ultimate monolayer of 2,7-dioctyl[1] benzothieno[3,2-b][1] benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) molecules as an OTFT channel, we demonstrate remarkable electrical characteristics, including intrinsic hole mobility over 30 cm(2)/Vs, Ohmic contact with 100 Omega circle cm resistance, and band-like transport down to 150 K. Compared to conventional OTFTs, the main advantage of a monolayer channel is the direct, nondisruptive contact between the charge transport layer and metal leads, a feature that is vital for achieving low contact resistance and current saturation voltage. On the other hand, bilayer and thicker C8-BTBT OTFTs exhibit strong Schottky contact and much higher contact resistance but can be improved by inserting a doped graphene buffer layer. Our results suggest that highly crystalline molecular monolayers are promising form factors to build high-performance OTFTs and investigate device physics. They also allow us to precisely model how the molecular packing changes the transport and contact properties. | Publisher: | American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) | Journal: | Science advances | ISSN: | 2375-2548 | DOI: | 10.1126/sciadv.1701186 | Rights: | Copyright © 2017 The Authors, some rights reserved; exclusive licensee American Association for the Advancement of Science.
