On the Performance Degradation of Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) Field-Effect Transistors PROJECT TITLE :On the Performance Degradation of Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) Field-Effect TransistorsABSTRACT:Polymeric transistor degradation was investigated on bottom and prime gate structures. Shelf-lifetime studies in each kinds of devices demonstrate an accelerated increase in effective charge carrier mobility, threshold voltage, and off current in modulus when poly(three-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is exposed to atmospheric gases. Although P3HT is underneath PMMA dielectric and gold gate electrode films, electrical parameters degradation can be only delayed by one hundred h. Thus, solely glass encapsulation of the active area is capable of effectively preventing current modulation decrease after exposure to atmospheric gases. Differently from their bottom-gate counterparts, capped high-gate TFTs clearly present negative threshold voltage and positive hysteresis. An interface with reduced deep traps concentration and electrical characterization influence on shallow traps filling are believed to play a significant role in these prime-gate P3HT/PMMA transistors below operating conditions. Alternating gate voltage stress along 3000 cycles provides evidence of electrical sweep as a reason for performance degradation. Equally, dc gate bias stress monitored for 127 min can impair current modulation and shifts threshold voltage relying on its sign. Finally, reversibility of each sorts of stress points that shallow traps are the major problem in these capped devices. Did you like this research project?
