Abstract

Polytriarylamine (PTAA) was used as a model compound, to demonstrate the dynamics of threshold voltage shifts in organic and amorphous silicon field-effect transistors (FET). PTAA films were spin-coated from toluene, with a layer thickness of 80 nm and their reliability was compared with other polymer films, such as poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). The influence drain bias current on the stress behavior of these PTAA FETs were also investigated. The measurement of bias current was performed in vacuum at 100°C and it was observed that the current decreased slowly with time. It was assumed that the threshold-voltage shift was due to the effect of trapped charges with surface density. Stress measurements on the PTAA transistors were also performed at various temperatures, to investigate the trapping dynamics.
