摘要
The influence of hydroxyl groups on the hysteresis of pentacene field-effect transistors (FETs) and metal-insulator-semiconductor diodes containing poly(4-vinyl phenol) and poly(4-vinyl phenol-co-methyl methacrylate) (PVP-PMMA) gate dielectrics was investigated. The electrical characteristics and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements show that hysteresis is intimately related to the presence of free O-H groups in the polymer gate dielectrics. The methyl methacryl moieties in PVP-PMMA minimize residual water in the polymer and form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups, thus reducing the number of free O-H species. Therefore, pentacene FETs and inverters using PVP-PMMA gate dielectrics exhibit high, hysteresis-free performances. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
