Abstract

Organic thin film transistors (OTFT) based on N,N′-Bis(n-pentyl)terrylene-3,4:11,12-tetracarboxylic diimide (TTCDI-5C) with Al or Au top-contact electrodes were deposited on SiO₂ (200 nm)/p-Si (0 0 1) substrates. Carrier mobility was examined as a function of temperature in the range from 50 to 310 K. Two distinct carrier transfer behaviours were observed: temperature independent behaviour below 150 K and thermally activated behaviour above 150 K. Activation energies presented values of 85-130 meV depending on the metal electrodes (Au, Al), which can be attributed to the carrier traps at the interface and the energy-level offset between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the work functions of the respective metals.
