Abstract

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-C8) before jetting. The on-currents of the OTFT with ∼1 μm active layer decreases a little in air, but the OTFT with 0.05 μm TIPS pentacene shows a significant degradation in drain currents.
