摘要
The influence of H(2)O and O(2) on the transistor characteristics in p- and n-type organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) fabricated on the SiO(2) gate insulator was investigated. In both p- and n-type OTFTs, the threshold voltage (V(th)) shifted drastically to positive direction after exposure to ambient air and dry air, although the field-effect mobilities in saturation regime were almost unchanged before and after the V(th) shift. The V(th) shifts to the positive direction indicate that negative charges are generated on the SiO(2) gate-insulator surface by exposure to ambient air and dry air. The influence of SiO(-) on the gate-insulator surface and deprotonation processes of SiOH caused by H(2)O and O(2) were discussed as the origin of the significantly positive V(th) shift.
