Abstract

We report on gate-bias and temperature dependence of pentacene-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with MoO3/Au contacts. In this study, we confirmed to obtain nearly zero activation energy (EA) without applied gate biases at a temperature between 133 K and 293 K. By increasing gate voltage, the activation energy for pentacene-based OTFT decreases concurrently. The effect of activation energy is attributed to the carrier transport occurred either via charge injection at a source/drain or in the organic materials while transport across grain boundaries/barrier height, due to the Fermi level shifted and/ or changed due to the free carrier concentration.
