4 The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000 The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000 was awarded jointly to Alan J. Heeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa ("for the discovery and development of conductive polymers ) Page 4

5 The discovery of conductive polymer J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Comm (1977) Page 5

6 Conductive polymer: a surprising discovery In1967, a visiting coworker of Shirakawa tried to make polyacetylene via conditions identical to reported method. Rather than having polymer powder as expected, pieces of a polymer film were produced instead. Upon reviewing the reaction conditions, Shirakawa found that the film formation was a result of the fact that the catalyst concentration used had been 1000 times higher than intended. Hideki Shirakawa Shirakawa explained the mistake: I might have missed the m for mmol in my experimental instructions, or the student might have misread it. MacDiarmid gives a quite different account: this occurred because of a misunderstanding between the Japanese language and that of a foreign student who had just joined his group. H. Shirakawa, in T. Frängsmyr, Ed., Les Prix Nobel. The Nobel Prizes 2000, Nobel Foundation, Stockholm, Page 6

7 Polyacetylene: insulator to semiconductor Polyacetylene Iodine-doped Polyacetylene Page 7

8 The first result was obtained in 1963! Polypyrrole A series of three papers by D.E. Weiss were lost and then Diaz was credited with the discovery of polypyrrole as a conducting polymer. D.E. Weiss, Aust. J. of Chem. 663, (1963) A.F. Diaz, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Comm (1979) Page 8

12 Energy diagram of organic semiconductors

13 P-type and N-type organic semiconductors P-type [N-type] does not reflect the ability of a material to transport holes [or electrons]; it rather indicates the ease with which holes being injected into HOMO [or electrons being injected into LUMO] of material from electrodes. The energy of HOMO [or LUMO] determines (approximately) the ionization potential (electron affinity) of the material.

14 P-type and N-type organic semiconductors Pentacene Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDI)

15 HOMO/LUMO levels and bandgap of organic semiconductors HOMO/LUMO levels and bandgap are controlled by type of conjugated system, electron donating/electron withdrawing group (substituent) Conjugated system: The HOMO increases in energy with increasing conjugation length. The LUMO decreases in energy with increasing conjugation length. The band gap (Eg) is decreased with increasing conjugation length. Electron donating/electron withdrawing groups (substituents): Electron donating groups increase the energy levels. Electron withdrawing groups (e.g. fluorine) decrease the energy levels. Pentacene: P-type Perfluoropentacene: N-type

Light, flexible, inexpensive 4. Easy and cheap processing (ink-jet printing, spin coating) Disadvantages: 1. Poor crystallinity: highly localized charge carriers 2. Stability and Lifetime: possible degradation under environmental influences 3. Low mobility: low speed of devices 4. Organic/Inorganic Interfaces

40 Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs)

41 Field-effect transistors (FETs) FET: conductivity of the path between two contacts: source and drain, is controlled by a voltage applied on the gate. The source of water pressure accumulated electrons at the negative electrode of applied voltage from Drain to Source The drain of water electron deficiency at the positive electrode of applied voltage from Drain to Source. Control of water flow Gate voltage controls the width of n-channel, which in turn controls electron flow in n-channel from source to drain.

42 Field-effect transistors (FETs) Classical FET FET in which (typically single-crystalline) semiconductor serves as substrate logic circuits, computer chips, Thin Film Transistor - TFT FET in which all active components are deposited onto an insulating substrate switches in Displays, Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are thin film transistors.

43 Device configuration of organic thin film transistor (OTFT) All active layers are deposited as thin film onto a substrate: thin film transistor (TFT) Source, drain and gate electrodes typically made of Au, Ag, Al, ITO, PEDOT:PSS, etc. Dielectric typically metal oxides (Al 2 O 3, HfO 2, SiO 2 ) or organic insulators (PMMA, SAMs)

44 Working principle of OTFT Applying a gate voltage V g leads to accumulation of charge carriers (holes) in organic semiconductor at the interface to the dielectric. When drain voltage V D = 0 V, holes are uniformly distributed over the whole organic semiconductor at the interface to the dielectric.

45 Working principle of OTFT Applying a drain voltage at the drain electrode V D < 0 V leads to hole flow between source and drain (= drain current I D ) When V D V G - V th, charge carriers are nearly uniformly distributed over the whole channel Linear increase of the drain current I D with V D. (linear regime)

46 Working principle of OTFT When V D V G - V th, hole distribution is not uniform anymore. Increase of drain current I D is not linear anymore with V D (called transition regime) Page 46

47 Working principle of OTFT When V D V G - V th, hole distribution is highly asymmetric over the channel. Drain current I D saturates and does not increase anymore with V D (called saturation regime) Page 47

48 OTFT characteristics As V G and V D can be varied, two different current-voltage characteristics can be measured: Measuring I D as a function of V D, with fixed V G : output characteristic Measuring I D as a function of V G, with fixed V D : transfer characteristic
