We studied environmental stability of top contact pentacene TFTs with active layer evaporated at different growth rates. We measured the transfer characteristics in vacuum and in air and after storing the devices in oxygen for several days. Different pentacene growth rates result in different grain

โฆ Synopsis
We have studied the effect of active layer thickness on the performance and environmental stability of the 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) thin-film transistor. The organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated by inkjet printing using a solution based TIPS pentacene. To get thick organic semiconductor, the surface of gate insulator was treated with n-octyltrichlorosilane (OTS-C 8 ) before jetting. The on-currents of the OTFT with $1 lm active layer decreases a little in air, but the OTFT with 0.05 lm TIPS pentacene shows a significant degradation in drain currents.

Thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on SiO 2 /n + -Si substrates using amorphous binary In 2 O 3 -ZnO (a-IZO) films with different thickness for active channel layers deposited by the rf magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The performance of devices was found to be thickness dependent
InGaZnO thin-film-transistors (TFTs) with various channel thicknesses were fabricated with a bottom gate configuration on SiO 2 /p-Si substrates at room temperature by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The thickness of the InGaZnO channel layer ranged from 20 to 200 nm and the width/length ratio
Results quoted in the literature suggest that there is generally an increase of Rp value with layer thickness under ordinary conditions of thin layer chromatography. Under ideal conditions it appears that RF values are independent of layer thickness, as expected theoretically. Several factors that c
