Abstract
Polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) is a low-temperature curable polymer that is compatible with low-cost plastic substrates. We cured PSQ gate dielectric layers by irradiation with ultraviolet light at ~60 °C, and used them for 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) thin film transistors (TFTs). The fabricated TFTs have shown the maximum and average hole mobility of 1.3 and 0.78 ± 0.3 cm2V-1s-1, which are comparable to those of the previously reported transistors using single-crystalline TIPS-pentacene micro-ribbons for their active layers and thermally oxidized SiO2 for their gate dielectric layers. Itis therefore demonstrated that PSQ is a promising polymer gate dielectric material for low-cost organic TFTs.
