ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTOR
Technical Field
The present invention" relates to new organic materials used in organic transistors. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel organic compounds facilitating the ohmic contact between semi-conducting layer and electrodes, to an organic thin film transistor comprising the organic compounds and to a use of the organic compounds in organic thin film transistors.
Background Art
Thin film field-effect transistors (FETs) comprise the basic building blocks for microelectronics. A FET has three electrodes (e.g., source, drain, and gate electrodes), an insulator layer, and a semiconductor layer. A FET operates as a capacitor where a semiconductor layer is a conducting channel between two electrodes, i.e., the source and the drain. The density of charge carriers in the channel is modulated by voltage applied to the gate electrode, so that the electric charge flow between the source and the drain electrodes can be controlled by voltage applied to the gate electrode.
There has been great interest recently in the development of FETs using organic semi-conducting materials. With organic semi-conducting materials in FETs, electronic devices can be manufactured in a printing method, such as screen-printing, ink-jet printing, and/or micro-contact printing. In addition, these materials can be processed at a much lower substrate temperature and with little or no vacuum involved, as compared to the typical inorganic semiconducting materials. Therefore, electronic devices,
1

WO 2005/078805 PCT/KR2005/000449
including FETs, that use organic semi-conducting materials can be flexible and less costly to produce compared with using inorganic semi-conducting materials.
Different types of organic materials such as small molecule, polymers and oligomers have been tested as organic semi-conducting materials in FETs since the 1980s. With concerted effort in this area, the performance of an organic FET has improved from 10-5 cm2/Vs to 1 cm2/Vs in terms of charge carrier mobility in a FET (J. M. Shaw, P. F. Seidler, IBM J. Res. & Dev., Vol. 45, 3 (2001)). The performance of an organic transistor is now comparable to that of an amorphous silicon transistor, so that organic transistors can be applied to E-paper, smart cards, and possibly displays.
Important electronic devices, which can be manufactured with semi-conducting organic materials, include organic light emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and organic transistors. In these devices, the electrical contact between the semi-conducting organic materials and electrodes is crucial to improving the performance of these devices. For example, the charge-carrier injection layers, such as hole-injection and electron-injection layers are interposed between semi-conducting layers and electrodes to improve the performance of organic light emitting diodes. Even though the operation mode of the organic transistor is different from that of the organic light emitting diode electrical contact between the semi-conducting layer and source and drain electrodes has a profound effect upon the performance of the organic transistor.
In addition, it has been reported that the performance of the organic transistor depends upon the source/drain materials (Y.Y. Lin et al. Materials Research Society

Symposium Proceedings (1996), 413 (Electrical, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Organic Solid State Materials III) , 413-418. CODEN: MRSPDH ISSN: 0272-9172). In this report, the metals with high work function (Pd, Pt, and Au) showed the best performance while the metal (Al) with relatively low work function showed a significantly degraded performance. Therefore, metals with high work function such as gold have been used for the source/drain electrode materials in most organic transistors. However, high work metals, which are novel metals, are expensive and hard to process using industrial methods, thus restricting their application and structure in organic transistors.

The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to Figure 1, an organic transistor is an electronic device with three terminals called a source electrode 15, a drain electrode 11, and a gate electrode 16. Numerous structures of organic transistors exist. Some examples using the present invention are shown in Figures 2-4. An insulating layer 12 is formed above the gate electrode 16, which is patterned onto a substrate 13 as illustrated in Figure 1.

An organic layer 17 comprising at least one compound represented by the Chemical Formula 1 is inserted between a serai-conducting layer 14 and source/drain electrodes (Figure 2) or between a semi-conducting layer 14 and source electrode 15 only (Figure 3) or between a semi-conducting layer 14 and drain electrode 11 only (Figure 4) in accordance with exemplary embodiments.

For example, the positive charge-carrier (hole) can be formed in a p-type semiconducting layer by using negative gate voltage, while the negative charge-carrier (electron) can be formed in an n-type semi-conducting layer by using positive gate voltage. The density of charge-carriers in the semi-conducting layer can be modulated by gate voltage, so that the current-flow between source and drain electrodes can be controlled by the voltage applied to gate electrode.

Each component used in organic transistors and the effect of the present invention will now be explained in more detail.
Substrate

Gate Electrode
Conductive materials can be used for the gate electrode 16, including, but not limited to, carbon, aluminum,
11

WO 2005/078805 PCT/KR2005/000449
vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc, silver, gold, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, tin, lead, similar metals, and alloys of the foregoing metals; p- or n-doped silicon; zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide and similar tin oxide or tin oxide indium-based complex compounds; mixtures of oxides and metals, such as ZnO:Al, SnO2:Sb; and conductive polymers, such as poly (3-methylthiophene) , poly[3,4-(ethylene-1,2-dioxy) thiophene], polypyrrole and polyaniline.
Insulating layer
Insulator materials can be used in the insulating layer 12, including, but not limited to, silicon oxide, silcon nitride; and a plastic insulator such as polyimide, poly(2- vinylpyridine) , poly(4-vinylphenol), polymethyl methacrylate, for example.
Semi-conducting layer
There are two types of molecules, which can be used in semi-conducting layer 14; p- and n-type organic semiconducting materials. Holes are the charge-carrier in the case of p-type semi-conducting materials while electrons are the charge-carrier in the case of n-type semi-conducting materials. P-type organic semi-conducting materials include, but are not limited to, pentacene, antradithiophene, benzodithiophene, thiophene oligomers, polythiophenes, mixed-subunit thiophene oligomers, oxy-funcionalized thiophene oligomers (H. E. Katz et al., Ace. Chem. Res. 34, 359 (2001)). N-type organic semi-conducting materials include fluorinated metallophthalocyanines (Z. Bao, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120,' 207 (1998)), perfluoroarene-modified polythiophene (A. Facchetti, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 42, 3900 (2003)), for example.

WO 2005/078805 PCT/KR2005/000449
Organic layer
An organic layer 17 comprises at least one compound represented by the Chemical Formula I. The introduction of the organic layer 17 helps the establishment of ohmic contact between a semi-conducting layer 14 and source/drain electrodes 15 and 11 or only source electrode 15 or only drain electrode 11. Therefore, the threshold voltage and the charge-carrier mobility in an organic transistor can improve with the organic layer 17 comprising at least one compound by the Chemical Formula 1 described above. Source/Drain Electrodes
Conductive materials can be used for the source/drain electrodes, including, but not limited to, carbon, aluminum, vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc, gold, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, silver, tin, lead, neodymium, platinum, similar metals, and alloys of the foregoing metals; p- or n-doped silicon; zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide and similar tin oxide or tin oxide indium-based complex compounds; mixtures of oxides and metals, such as ZnO:Al, SnO2:Sb; and conductive polymers, such as poly(3-methylthiophene), poly[3, 4-(ethylene-1, 2-dioxy) thiophene], polypyrrole and polyaniline.
In addition, materials for source/drain electrodes have a suitable work function to reduce the charge-carrier injection barrier and form an ohmic contact with organic layers. When p-type materials are used in semi-conducting layer 14, the work functions of source/drain electrode materials match or are close to a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of p-type organic materials. Therefore, metals with a large work function are preferred for the source/drain electrodes, including palladium, platinum, and
13

WO 2005/078805 PCT7KR2005/000449
gold. When n-type materials are used in semi-conducting layer 14, the work functions of source/drain electrode materials match or are close to a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of n-type organic materials. Therefore, metals with a small work function are preferred for the source/drain electrodes, including aluminum.
However, according to the present invention, the performance of an organic transistor with the organic layer 17 showed weak dependence on source/drain electrode materials. It allows us to fabricate organic transistors in various ways, including screen-printing, reel-to-reel process (J.A. Rogers et al., Adv. Mater. 11, 741 (1999)), micro-contact printing and so on. Therefore, there are a variety of electrode materials that can be used for the source/drain electrode without deteriorating the performance of the organic transistor with the organic layer 17.
For example, the use of the organic layer represented by the Chemical Formula 1 allows the use of aluminum as source/drain electrodes in the configuration of Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 6, aluminum can be easily patterned to make the array of source and drain electrodes 15 and 11 by using photolithography techniques and etching methods. Further, silver paste, which is one of screen printable conductive inks and can be patterned by screen-printing method (C. Gray et al., Proceedings of SPIE-The International Soc. Opt. Eng. 4466, 89 (2001)), can be used as source/drain electrodes.
The organic transistor of the present invention has an organic layer comprising at least one compounds represented by Chemical Formula 1 between a semi-conducting layer and source/drain electrodes, which facilitates the ohmic contact between the semi-conducting layer and the source/drain
14

WO 2005/078805 PCT/KR2005/000449
electrodes. As a result, materials with relatively low cost having low work function but high workability can be used for the source/drain electrodes of the organic transistor.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

The field-effect transistors were fabricated in a staggered-inverted structure as shown in Figures 2 and 5. An ITO glass was used as the substrate 13. An ITO electrode is patterned as a gate electrode 16. The gate dielectric or insulator layer 12 was prepared by spin-coating the poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) solution (15 wt% in propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA)) at 2000 rpm and curing at 200°C for 2 hours. The thickness of the PVP gate insulator was 922 nm. The semi-conducting layer 14 is formed on top of the PVP gate dielectric layer 12. Pentacene is used as a p-type semi-conducting materials. Pentacene semi-conducting layer 14 was deposited with a rate of 0.5 A/s under the base pressure of 1xlO-6 Torr. The thickness of pentacene layer was lOOnm. The organic layer 17 and gold (Au) source/drain electrodes 15 and 11, respectively, were deposited on top of the pentacene film through a shadow mask as shown in Figure 2. The organic layer 17 was deposited on top of the pentacene film prior to the deposition of Au electrodes 15, 11 as shown in Figure 2. The compound represented by Formula la was used for the organic layer 17. The organic layer 17 was deposited with a rate of 0.5 A/s under the base pressure of lxlO-6 Torr and the thickness of the organic layer 17 is 40nm. As shown in Figure 5, a channel length (L) and width (W) of the organic FET have a profound effect on the performance of the organic transistor. The channel length and width of the organic FET in Figure 5 were 2 mm and 50

urn, respectively, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.
A graph illustrating the drain-source current (IDS) versus drain-source voltage (VDS) characteristics for several gate voltages (VG) is shown in Figure 7. The (IDS)1/2 versus VG characteristics for pentacene transistors (VDS = -50V) is shown in Figure 11 and 12. In the saturation regime of the drain-source current, the field-effect mobility is calculated as µFET = 0.16 cm2/Vs.

The device was fabricated the same way as described in Example 1 except for replacing Au with Al as source/drain electrodes.
A graph illustrating the drain-source current (IDS) versus drain-source voltage (VDS) characteristics for several gate voltages (VG) is shown in Figure 8. A graph illustrating the (IDS)1/2 versus VG characteristics for pentacene transistors (VDS = -50V) is shown in Figure 12. In the saturation regime of the drain-source current, the field-effect mobility is calculated as µFET = 0.18 cm2/Vs.

The device was fabricated the same way as described in Example 1 except for the absence of the organic layer 17 as being shown absent in Figure 1.
A graph illustrating the drain-source current (IDS) versus drain-source voltage (VDS) characteristics for several gate voltages (VG) is shown in Figure 9. A graph illustrating the (IDS)1/2 versus VG characteristics for pentacene transistors (VDS = -50V) is shown in Figure 11. In the saturation regime of the drain-source current, the field-effect mobility is calculated as UFET = 0.07 cm2/Vs.

16

WO 2005/078805 PCT/KR2005/000449
The device was fabricated the same way as described in Comparative Example 1 except for replacing Au with Al as source/drain electrodes.
A graph illustrating the drain-source current (IDS) versus drain-source voltage (VDS) characteristics for several gate voltages (VG) is shown in Figure 10. It will be recognized that the device shows very poor and unstable transistor characteristics.
Under the same gate biases, the source-drain current has a higher value for the transistor with the organic layer 17 between pentacene and Au electrode (Figures 7) than that for the transistor without the organic layer 17 (Figure 9) . A graph illustrating the (IDS)1/2 versus VG characteristics for pentacene transistors with and without the organic layer is shown in Figure 11. Figure 11 clearly shows that the usage of the organic layer 17 in an organic transistor improves the performance of the device by more than a factor of 2, as seen when VG is between about 0V and about -14 0V.
The organic transistors with the organic layer 17 also showed a similar performance using Au or Al for the source/drain electrode materials (See Figures 7, 8, and 12) . Figures 11 and 12 clearly demonstrate the benefit of an organic layer inserted between a semi-conducting layer and source and/or drain electrodes for fabricating organic transistor arrays using a lithography technique.
