Organic Thin-Film Transistors And Tips-Pentacene, Zachary Stewart Jan 2013

Organic Thin-Film Transistors And Tips-Pentacene, Zachary Stewart

Lewis Honors College Capstone Collection

TIPS-Pentacene, an organic semiconductor characterized by its good electronic properties, solubility, and stability, is used primarily in organic thin-film transistors (OTFT). This research seeks to create an OTFT by crafting a stencil, depositing the source and drain onto a substrate’s surface, and processing TIPS-Pentacene onto the channel between them. In addition, if time permits, the electronic properties of several OTFTs will be compared to determine how to optimize their production.
