Abstract
We developed self-assembled hybrid dielectric materials via a facile and low-temperature solution process. These dielectrics are used to facilitate ultralow operational voltage of organic thinfilm transistors. Self-assembly of bifunctional phosphonic acid and ultrathin hafnium oxide
layers results in the self-assembled hybrid dielectrics. Additionally, the surface property of the top layer of hafnium oxide can be tuned by phosphonic acid-based self-assembled molecules to improve the function of the organic semiconductors. These novel hybrid dielectrics demonstrate great
dielectric properties as low-level leakage current densities of <1.45×10−6 A/cm2, large capacitances (up to 800 nF/cm2), thermal stability (up to 300 °C), and featureless morphology (root-mean-square roughness ~0.3 nm). As a result, self-assembled
gate dielectrics can be incorporated into thin-film transistors with p-type organic semiconductors functioning at ultralow voltages (<.2 V) to achieve enhanced performance (hole mobility: 0.88 cm2/V ·s, and Ion/Ioff: >105,
threshold voltage: 0.5 V).
