Simulation and Experimental Studies about Proper Electrodes of an Organic Thin Film Transistor

The aim of this work is to select the proper electrode materials for organic thin film transistors (OTFT). The electrodes are crucial both for Pentacene-OTFT or transistors with other semiconductors without toxic precursors. In this scope, the paper is developed on two directions: (i) simulation of OTFT, starting from a fabricated Pentacene transistor, able to match the simulated characteristics with the experimental characteristics and (ii) experimental tests on an organic transistor with silver electrodes for source and drain and para-amino-benzoic acid coupled to ferrite nano-core-shell as active organic layer. The experimental material is silver for electrodes. Further improvements are expected by gold and other materials with optimal workfunction.
