- Abstract
- Suberoyl chloride (SCL) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride (EDT) was added as crosslinking agents into the high-k cyanoethyl pullulan (CEP) polymer and the mixture was cured at temperatures of 90-120 degrees C. In the crosslinking reaction of the CEP polymer chain with SCL, ester groups were produced to knit up the gaps between the self-associated dipole clusters. Well-stacked pentacene molecular clusters were formed on the dipole clusters and 2-dimensional (2D) layer-by layer growth of the pentacene layer was observed. On the other hand, the dangling carboxylic acid (COOH) group in EDT-cured dielectrics disrupted the quasi-order by shielding the dipoles. This caused discontinuous 3D pentacene grains, which degraded the pentacene organic field effect transistor performance. A high field-effect mobility of similar to 8.62 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), an on/off current ratio (I-on/I-off) of similar to 10(5) and a steep subthreshold slope (SS) of 0.099 V dec(-1) were obtained using SCL as a cross-linking agent.
