Mobility Enhancement in a Pentacene Thin-film Transistor by Shortening the Intermolecular Distance
Tae Ho Jung
J Electr Electron Mater 2012;25(7):500-505.   Published online July 1, 2012
In this study, the influence of the intermolecular distance on the charge mobility in a pentacene thin-film was investigated. In order to increase the mobility which depends on the π-overlap between molecules, the intermolecular distance was shortened by compressive force along the conduction channel. Pentacene thin-film was fabricated on flexible substrates bent outward at different radii to stretch the gate dielectric surface and then the substrates were unbent, producing the compressive force to the film. The result showed that the mobility increased proportionally to the strain applied during the pentacen deposition and the molecular packing inside a grain was not optimal for the charge transport.
