研究目的
Investigating the scaling laws of organic permeable-base transistors (OPBTs) and comparing their performance with state-of-the-art organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) to assess their potential for high-speed, flexible electronics.
研究成果
The performance of OPBTs increases for smaller device areas, leading to transistors with a very large ON/OFF ratio. OPBTs have a clear potential for applications requiring larger switching speeds and are less limited by contact resistances compared to OFETs. The homogeneous injection of current across the whole device area in OPBTs explains their reduced contact resistances and higher performance.
研究不足
The study highlights the current inferiority of OPBTs in terms of their current amplification compared to OFETs, leading to large static power dissipation in integrated circuits. New approaches are needed to limit these currents for practical applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the fabrication and characterization of OPBTs with varying device areas to investigate scaling laws. A 2D numerical model is used to explain the reduced contact resistances of OPBTs.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
OPBTs were prepared by thermal evaporation in a custom-built vacuum system. The devices were structured by shadow masks on glass substrates.

A custom-built vacuum system (EvoVac, Angstrom Engineering), semiconductor parameter analyzer (4200-SCS, Keithley), and materials including aluminum, chromium, C60, Spiro-TTB, and W2(hpp)
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The devices were fabricated by depositing layers of materials in a specific order, followed by annealing. The active area was structured using shadow masks with different insulators.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance parameters of the transistors were measured and analyzed to understand the scaling laws. A numerical model was used to simulate and explain the observed phenomena.
