Abstract

The p-type and n-type organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated in the same experimental conditions by using hexadecahydro copper phthalocyanine (H₁₆CuPc) and hexadecafluoro copper phthalocynine (F₁₆CuPc) molecules, respectively. The mobilities of H₁₆CuPc and F₁₆CuPc-based OTFT devices in saturation region were measured to be ∼1.22 × 10^-3 cm²/V s and ∼1.04 × 10^-3 cm²/V s, respectively. The temperature dependence of the mobility and activation energy (E_a) for both OTFTs were measured in saturation and linear regions of the drain-source current. We found that the E_a of the F₁₆CuPc-based OTFTs was lower than that of H₁₆CuPc-based ones. The gate voltage (V_g) dependence of the field-effect mobility measured in linear region for the F₁₆CuPc-based OTFTs was more stable, i.e., weaker variation of the field-effect mobility with increasing V_g, than that of the H₁₆CuPc-based ones. The high electron affinity of the hexadecafluorine (F₁₆) in CuPc contributed to the effective electron accumulation in the active channel.
