Construction and Characterization of Organic Thin-Film Transistors

The possibilities of the creation of new products have led to significant interest in the use of organic materials as semiconductors. With this is mind, a high mobility (approximately 1 cm²/Vs) Thin Film Transistor will be constructed using an organic material (Pentacene) of exceptional electrical properties. The process will be completed using various methods of deposition, including thermal evaporation for the metal electrodes and organic semiconductor, as well as chemical vapor deposition for the dielectric. Also, these films will be structurally characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy & X-Ray Diffractometry and the semiconductor itself will be electrically characterized by taking current voltage measurements.
