Item Open Access Capacitance-conductance-current-voltage characteristics of atomic layer deposited Au/Ti/Al2O3/n-GaAs MIS structures(Elsevier Ltd, 2015) Turut, A.; Karabulut, A.; Ejderha, K.; Bıyıklı, NecmiWe have studied the admittance and current–voltage characteristics of the Au/Ti/Al2O3/nGaAs structure. The Al2O3 layer of about 5 nm was formed on the n-GaAs by atomic layer deposition. The barrier height (BH) and ideality factor values of 1.18 eV and 2.45 were obtained from the forward-bias ln I vs V plot at 300 K. The BH value of 1.18 eV is larger than the values reported for conventional Ti/n-GaAs or Au/Ti/n-GaAs diodes. The barrier modification is very important in metal semiconductor devices. The use of an increased barrier diode as the gate can provide an adequate barrier height for FET operation while the decreased barrier diodes also show promise as small signal zero-bias rectifiers and microwave. The experimental capacitance and conductance characteristics were corrected by taking into account the device series resistance Rs. It has been seen that the noncorrection characteristics cause a serious error in the extraction of the interfacial properties. Furthermore, the device behaved more capacitive at the reverse bias voltage range rather than the forward bias voltage range because the phase angle in the reverse bias has remained unchanged as 901 independent of the measurement frequency.Item Open Access Trends in molecular design strategies for ambient stable n-channel organic field effect transistors(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Dhar, J.; Salzner, U.; Patil, S.In recent years, organic semiconducting materials have enabled technological innovation in the field of flexible electronics. Substantial optimization and development of new π-conjugated materials has resulted in the demonstration of several practical devices, particularly in displays and photoreceptors. However, applications of organic semiconductors in bipolar junction devices, e.g. rectifiers and inverters, are limited due to an imbalance in charge transport. The performance of p-channel organic semiconducting materials exceeds that of electron transport. In addition, electron transport in π-conjugated materials exhibits poorer atmospheric stability and dispersive transient photocurrents due to extrinsic carrier trapping. Thus development of air stable n-channel conjugated materials is required. New classes of materials with delocalized n-doped states are under development, aiming at improvement of the electron transport properties of organic semiconductors. In this review, we highlight the basic tenets related to the stability of n-channel organic semiconductors, primarily focusing on the thermodynamic stability of anions and summarizing the recent progress in the development of air stable electron transporting organic semiconductors. Molecular design strategies are analysed with theoretical investigations.
