摘要
The device performance of a pentacene-based organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) fabricated on an aluminum nitride (AlN) surface can be improved by exposing AlN to a methane (CH4) gas before device fabrication. The mobility of the OTFT was enhanced from 0.046 to 0.924 cm2 /V s by exposing AlN to CH4. Its threshold voltage was reduced from -4.5 to -1.9 V. After the CH4 exposure, the reduced surface energy of AlN was correlated with the improvement of the OTFT performance. The reduction of surface energy was correlated with the replacement of O-CO bonds by C-O bonds and hydrocarbon (CHx) on the AlN surface.
