本論文報導運用臨場電性量測技術來研究紅熒烯(rubrene)薄膜電晶體製作過程中,電晶體電性表現與薄膜厚度之變化關係。且利用不同層數之正二十酸鎘(Cadmium arachidate,CdA)薄膜作為基材,來改變基材表層島狀結構的密度,並成長rubrene薄膜於此經過CdA多層膜修飾後之基材。將CdA薄膜與rubrene薄膜分別藉由原子力顯微鏡(Atomic Force Microscope,AFM)、X光繞射(X-ray Diffraction,XRD)、近緣X光吸收細微結構(Near-edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure,NEXAFS)與光學顯微鏡來分析表面形貌、結構、分子位向與薄膜外觀。 成長rubrene薄膜在具有苯環官能基表面之基材上,可觀察到其rubrene薄膜表面形貌高低差異大,且薄膜為非晶相。再基材經CdA多層膜修飾後,基材表面具豐富結構島狀形貌,於上成長出之rubrene薄膜,其表面形貌較呈平板片狀,且薄膜具高晶相,而且rubrene分子較站立於基材表面。 以4層CdA薄膜成長於具長碳鏈官能基表面作為基材,所製作出之rubrene薄膜電晶體,在臨場量測電晶體特性時,可觀察到電晶體效能隨薄膜厚度而穩定增加,可於rubrene薄膜厚度35 nm時開始量測到場效電晶體特性,此時載子遷移率為4.58 × 10-4 cm2/Vs,而隨薄膜厚度增厚其電晶體載子遷移率也不斷向上提升,當厚度達140 nm時量測到最佳載子遷移率為0.16 cm2/Vs,經熱退火後處理後更提高至0.32 cm2/Vs。而電流開關比約為105,門檻電壓約在-25V。.
We present in-situ transport measurement of rubrene thin film transistors. The rubrene based transistors were fabricated form rubrene grown onto the SiO2/Si substrate modified by Cadmium arachidate (CdA) multi-layers or self-assembled organosilane. The morphology, structure and crystallinity of CdA substrate and rubrene film were characterized by optical microscope, atomic force microscopy (AFM), near-edge absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), x-ray diffraction (XRD). Rubrene film grown on the substrate modified by aromatic terminated silane, the film shows the irregular pillar-like morphology and amorphous structure. Rrubrene film on multi-layers CdA substrate present more plate-like features and reveal the strong (200)-oriented crystallites on the surface. In addition, the ring plane of the aromatic core of rubrene molecule is stand-up configuration from thin to thick thickness of rubrene films. The transistor was fabricated form rubrene grown on 4 layers CdA film on SiO2/Si substrate modified by alkyl terminated silane have the characteristic of field effect transistor form 35 nm thickness of rubrene, and the hole mobility is 4.58 × 10-4 cm2/Vs. The hole mobility is increased after increasing the thickness of rubrene film. The highest mobility of 0.16 cm2/Vs was obtained when the rubrene film thickness reached to 140 nm. The final mobility was improved to 0.32 cm2/Vs, after the rubrene film was treated by post thermal annealing.
