Abstract:
Applying high-k dielectrics can effectively reduce the operating voltage of Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) to a few volts, thus significantly miniaturizing the dynamic power consumption of OFETs. Aluminum oxide is a promising dielectric material due to its high permittivity (k = 6-9). In this work, a simple, low-cost, low-temperature (only 85 degrees C) solution process is used to prepare amorphous AlOx dielectric thin films for high-performance flexible OFET applications. The AlOx thin film was spin-coated and then solidified using deep ultraviolet irradiation without high-temperature annealing. The as-deposited AlOx thin film has a root mean square surface roughness of 0.47 nm and maintains a very low leakage current density of 8 x 10(-9) A/cm(2) at 3.5 MV/cm and high dielectric constant of about 8.3 (at 1 kHz). The complete OFET based on this dielectric can operate at a 3 V gate bias with saturation mobility of 1.8 cm(2)/Vs, and steep sub-threshold swing of 110 mV/dec. Our work demonstrated a low-temperature solution process to fabricate a high-k metal oxide dielectric for low-power OFET applications.
