Transient Effects In Solution-Processed Organic Thin Films, Jing Wan Jan 2021

Transient Effects In Solution-Processed Organic Thin Films, Jing Wan

Graduate College Dissertations and Theses

Due to the weak van der Waals forces between organic semiconductor molecules, the molecular packing depends sensitively on the processing methods and conditions. Thus, understanding the crystallization mechanisms during solution deposition are essential for fundamental studies and reproducible fabrication of electronic devices.The performance of Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) also depends heavily on extrinsic factors such as contact resistance and interfacial defects, which can produce a different kind of transient effect at the metal-semiconductor contact. We have observed structural transient effects during the crystallization process of two small molecule organic semiconductors made from solution. We report in situ X-ray scattering …

Textured films of molybdenum disulfide have been obtained by solid state reaction between the constituents in thin films form when a (200) oriented tungsten sheet is used as substrate. The crystallites have their c axis perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. The annealing conditions are T=1073K and t=30 min. The films are stoichoimetric and p type. Such highly textured films are achieved without foreign atom addition (Ni, Co...). It appears, as shown by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, that a thin WS2 layer is present at the interface W/MoS2. The crystallization process is discussed by a …
