摘要
Pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) on a high-kappa Gd2O3 gate insulator layer were fabricated and characterized. The Gd2O3 layer was grown by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) on a heavily-doped silicon substrate in ultra high vacuum, where the measured dielectric constant of the oxide layer was about 7.4. The maximum field effect mobility and the on/off ratio of the TFTs were 0.1 cm(2)/Vs and about 10(3), respectively. The threshold voltage of the device was dramatically decreased (15.3 V --> -3.5 V) as the high-kappa Gd2O3 layer replaced the SiO2 layer. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
