    Abstract Exfoliated flakes of layered materials, such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and graphite with a thickness of several tens of nanometers, are used to construct van der Waals heterostructures. A flake with a desirable thickness, size, and shape is often selected from many exfoliated flakes placed randomly on a substrate using an optical microscope. This study examined the visualization of thick hBN and graphite flakes on SiO2/Si substrates through calculations and experiments. In particular, the study analyzed areas with different atomic layer thicknesses in a flake. For visualization, the SiO2 thickness was optimized based on the calculation. As an experimental result, the area with different thicknesses in a hBN flake showed different brightness in the image obtained using an optical microscope with a narrow band-pass filter. The maximum contrast was 12% with respect to the difference of monolayer thickness. In addition, hBN and graphite flakes were observed by differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. In the observation, the area with different thicknesses exhibited different brightnesses and colors. Adjusting the DIC bias had a similar effect to selecting a wavelength using a narrow band-pass filter.

    Abstract We propose a visualization technique for identifying an exfoliated monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) flake placed on a SiNx/Si substrate. The use of a Si substrate with a 63 nm thick SiNx film enhanced the contrast of monolayer hBN at wavelengths of 480 and 530 nm by up to 12% and −12%, respectively. The maximum contrast for the Si substrate with SiNx is more than four times as large as that for a Si substrate with a ∼90 or ∼300 nm SiO2 film. Based on the results of the reflectance spectrum measurement and numerical calculations, the enhancement is discussed.

    A trimethylsilyl-monolayer modified by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light has been investigated for use in solution-processed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The VUV irradiation changed a hydrophobic trimethylsilyl-monolayer formed from hexamethyldisilazane vapor into a hydrophilic surface suitable for solution processing. The treated surface was examined via water contact angle measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. An appropriate irradiation of VUV light enabled the formation of a dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) film on a modified monolayer by spin-coating. Consequently, the C8-BTBT-based OTFT with a monolayer modified for an optimal VUV irradiation time exhibited a field-effect mobility up to 4.76 cm2 V−1 s−1. The partial monolayer modification with VUV can be adapted to a variety of solution-processes and organic semiconductors for prospective printed electronics.

    Abstract Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an important insulating layered material for two-dimensional heterostructure devices. Among many applications, few-layer h-BN films have been employed as superior tunneling barrier films. However, it is difficult to construct a heterostructure with ultra-thin h-BN owing to the poor visibility of flakes on substrates, especially on a metallic surface substrate. Since reflectance from a metallic surface is generally high, a h-BN film on a metallic surface does not largely influence reflection spectra. In the present study, a thin Au layer with a thickness of ∼10 nm deposited on a Si substrate with a thermally grown SiO2 was used for visualizing h-BN flakes. The thin Au layer possesses conductivity and transparency. Thus, the Au/SiO2/Si structure serves as an electrode and contributes to the visualization of an ultra-thin film according to optical interference. As a demonstration, the wavelength-dependent contrast of exfoliated few-layer h-BN flakes on the substrate was investigated under a quasi-monochromatic light using an optical microscope. A monolayer h-BN film was recognized in the image taken by a standard digital camera using a narrow band-pass filter of 490 nm, providing maximum contrast. Since the contrast increases linearly with the number of layers, the appropriate number of layers is identified from the contrast. Furthermore, the insulating property of a h-BN flake is examined using a conductive atomic force microscope to confirm whether the thin Au layer serves as an electrode. The tunneling current through the h-BN flake is consistent with the number of layers estimated from the contrast.

    Submonolayer two-dimensional (2D) islands of diphenyl dinaphthothienothiophene with various shapes and densities (N) were formed on a SiO2/Si substrate by controlling substrate temperature and the surface treatment for SiO2 in vacuum deposition to investigate the growth mechanism on the basis of their morphology. The statistical analysis shows that the 2D islands have complex shapes when N is small, and there is a constant relationship between N and the shape complexity of the 2D islands, regardless of the deposition conditions. Because the surface morphology is determined by diffusion coefficients for admolecules on a substrate surface (D-s) and along the edge of a 2D island (D-edg), the relationship between (N, shape complexity) and (D-s, D-edg) is studied. The statistical analysis indicates that D-edg is almost independent of the surface conditions and is instead determined by interactions with molecules constructing the 2D island. Therefore, D-edg is considered as a material-dependent parameter to control the morphology for growing high-quality films in vacuum deposition.

    The growth mechanism of 2,9-diphenyl-dinaphtho [2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno [3,2-b]thiophene (DPh-DNTT) thin-films prepared by vacuum deposition was investigated based on the morphological crystallinity of the obtained films. In addition to atomic force microscopy, which is commonly used for imaging surface morphology, optical microscopy was also positively used for the same purpose. The technique allows the quick and easy evaluation of thin films. The optical microscopy images show that DPh-DNTT films grew according to a layer-by-layer growth mode. Each layer grew as flat two-dimensional (2D) islands with a thickness of about 2.3 nm, where DPh-DNTT molecules stand almost vertically on the substrate. The height difference between layers provided a color contrast in these images, which visualizes the initial 2D island on the Si substrate with thermally grown SiO2 and fractal-shape 2D islands on top surface. By using the method, a monolayer of isolated and round 2D islands, with a diameter of approximately 4 mu m, formed at a high substrate temperature on a SiO2 surface that had been previously treated with O-2 plasma or UV-O-3. The presence of a DPh-DNTT layer on the substrate was also confirmed by micro-Raman measurement.

    The thin-films of 2,9-diphenyl-dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DPh-DNTT) prepared by vacuum deposition was observed by the optical microsope. By applying the dark-field mode in observation and/or image processing after imaging appropriately, morphological structure with a resolution of a few nanometers height was visualized easily and quickly. The technique can be used in a similar to atomic force microscopy, which is commonly used for imaging surface morphology. Moreover, the vibrational modes of a DPh-DNTT molecule calculated by quantum chemistry program is described as well as the comparison of the experimental Raman spectra for identification. The presented data are produced as part of the main work entitled "The Growth Mechanism and Characterization of Few-layer Diphenyl Dinaphthothienothiophene Films Prepared by Vacuum Deposition" (Hattori et al., 2019).

    Pentacene metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors having a channel area uncovered with the top electrode have been examined by capacitance-voltage (C-V) and capacitance-frequency (C-f) measurements. The C-V and C-f characteristics were reproduced using an equivalent circuit based on a distributed constant circuit. The sheet resistance, which characterizes carrier transport in the pentacene film, was obtained as a sheet resistance included in the equivalent circuit reproducing the measured characteristics.

    The growth mechanism of 2,9-diphenyl-dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DPh-DNTT) thin-films prepared by vacuum evaporation was investigated from a view point of the morphological crystallinity. In addition to atomic force microscopy, which is commonly used for imaging the morphology of surfaces, optical microscopy was positively used for the same purpose. The method allows quick and easy evaluation of the thin-film. In fact, an isolated, round, monolayer 2D island on the SiO2 substrate in initial stage and fractal-shape 2D islands on top surface of thin-film were observed. The nucleation density which depends on substrate temperature and surface treatment was investigated to clarified the growth mechanism.

    Pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs) with controlled threshold voltages have been applied to a ring oscillator consisting of enhancement/depletion inverters for evaluation of the dynamic characteristics. The threshold voltage control was demonstrated by using oxygen plasma treatment to the SiO2 gate dielectric prepared by rf sputtering. The surface roughness of the SiO2 gate dielectric depended on the sputtering condition. The use of flat SiO2 gate dielectrics contributed to the improvement of the field-effect mobilities in pentacene TFTs. As a result, the ring oscillator operated at supply voltages of 15-25 V. The oscillation frequency was consistent with the result of circuit simulation for the ring oscillator. (C) 2019 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    Oxygen plasma treatment has been carried out to control the threshold voltage in organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) having a SiO2 gate dielectric prepared by rf sputtering. The threshold voltage linearly changed in the range of -3.7 to 3.1 V with the increase in plasma treatment time. Although the amount of change is smaller than that for organic TFTs having thermally grown SiO2, the tendency of the change was similar to that for thermally grown SiO2. To realize different plasma treatment times on the same substrate, a certain region on the SiO2 surface was selected using a shadow mask, and was treated with oxygen plasma. Using the process, organic TFTs with negative threshold voltages and those with positive threshold voltages were fabricated on the same substrate. As a result, enhancement/depletion inverters consisting of the organic TFTs operated at supply voltages of 5 to 15V. (C) 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    © 2016 The Society of Materials Science, Japan. Thin film solar cells using perovskite materials are very intensively studied since the perovskite materials such as CH3NH3PbI3 crystal have been found to show sensitizing effects on a TiO2 electron transport layer. This class of solar cell has made tremendous progress during the last few years, leading to a recently certified record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 21.02%. In the perovskite /crystalline-Si (c-Si) tandem solar cell, furthermore, the theoretical value of PCE is expected as large as 35 %. Toward this application, the perovskite solar cell must be highly transparent at near-infrared wavelengths so that sufficient light is transmitted to the narrow-bandgap bottom cell. In this study, we fabricated the organic-lead halide perovskite solar cells comprising a transparent sputtered indium tin oxide (ITO) top electrode. We observed the PCE of 1.5% in transparent perovskite solar cells with a thin molybdenum oxide buffer layer and ITO electrode. Moreover, we obtained the PCE of 2% even in solar cells with ITO electrode sputtered directly on the organic charge transport layer. The photovoltaic property could be confirmed under the light irradiation from the ITO top electrode side.

    The water wettability of Au surfaces has been controlled using various benzenethiol derivatives including 4-methylbenzenethiol, pentafluorobenzenethiol, 4-fluorobenzenethiol, 4-methoxybenzenethiol, 4-nitrobenzenethiol, and 4-hydroxybenzenethiol. The water contact angle of the Au surface modified with the benzenethiol derivative was found to vary in the wide range of 30.9 degrees to 88.3 degrees. The contact angle of the modified Au films annealed was also measured in order to investigate their thermal stability. The change in the contact angle indicated that the modified surface is stable at temperatures below about 400 K. Meanwhile, the activation energy of desorption from the modified surface was estimated from the change in the contact angle. The modified Au surface was also examined using X-ray photoelectron spectrosocopy.

    The threshold voltage in p-channel organic thin-film transistors ( TFTs) having dinaphthothienothiophene as a channel material has been investigated toward their applicability to logic circuits. Oxygen plasma treatment of the gate dielectric surface was carried out to control the threshold voltage. The threshold voltage changed in the range from -6.4 to 9.4V, depending on plasma treatment time and the thickness of the gate dielectric. The surface charge after plasma treatment was estimated from the dependence of the threshold voltage. Operation of logic inverters consisting of TFTs with different threshold voltages was demonstrated as an application of TFTs with controlled threshold voltage.

    The surface properties, including work function and wettability, of Au and Ag surfaces modified with various substituted benzenethiols have been investigated. Whereas the work functions of the modified Au surfaces ranged from 4.42 to 5.48 eV, those of the modified Ag surfaces ranged from 3.99 to 5.77 eV. The highest work function of 5.77 eV was obtained on the Ag surface modified with pentafluorobenzenethiol, and the lowest work function of 3.99 eV was obtained on the Ag surface modified with 4-methylbenzenethiol. The water contact angle on modified Au surfaces was found to be in a wide range from 30.9 to 88.3 degrees. The water contact angle on the Au surface modified with a substituted benzenethiol was close to that on the Ag surface modified with the same benzenethiol. Furthermore, the tension of the modified Au surfaces was estimated from their contact angles of water and ethylene glycol. (C) 2016 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    Pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) having a SiO2 gate dielectric treated with oxygen plasma have been investigated for control of the threshold voltage. The threshold voltage changed in the wide range from % 15 to 80V, depending on plasma treatment time, AC power for plasma generation, and gate dielectric thickness. The threshold voltage change was attributed to negative charges induced on and/or near the surface of the gate dielectric. The threshold voltage change on the order of 1 V was particularly proportional to plasma treatment time. The predictable change enables the control of threshold voltage in this range. In addition, the effect of gate bias stress on threshold voltage was examined. The results suggested that gate bias stress does not negate the threshold voltage change induced by plasma treatment.

    The morphology and current-voltage characteristics of organic films with copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and hexadecafluoro CuPc (F16CuPc) prepared under different conditions have been investigated. Substrate heating improved the current-voltage characteristics of CuPc single-layer devices. Also, substrate heating from room temperature suppressed breakdown at low voltages in F16CuPc devices. In addition, the post-annealing effects under pressure on the current-voltage characteristics of CuPc/F16CuPc devices were investigated. Although a CuPc/F16CuPc device prepared at a substrate temperature of 120 degrees C exhibited a reverse rectifying property and provided no photocurrent, a CuPc/F16CuPc device post-annealed at 300 degrees C under pressure showed a normal rectifying property and worked as a photovoltaic cell.

    The work function of Au surfaces modified with various substituted benzenethiols has been systematically investigated for application to the design of organic electronic devices. The work function was found to vary in the range of 4.37 to 5.48 eV depending on the substituted benzenetniol used, which included pentafluorobenzenethiol, 4-fluorobenienethiol, 4-methylbenzenethiol, 4-aminobenzenethiol, and 4-(dimethylamina)benzenethiol. Subsequent thermal annealing of the modified Au films above 373 K changed the work function back to that of an unmodified Au surface. Meanwhile, thermal desorption spectroscopy revealed species desorbing from the modified Au surfaces, indicating cleavage of the C S bond as well as the S Au bond.

    The electronic structures of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and fluorinated CuPc, FxCuPc (x = 4, 8, 12, and 16), have been investigated by density functional theory. The HOMO and LUMO energies systematically decrease with an increase in the number of fluorine atoms. The degree of the decrease depends on the position of the substitution of hydrogen with fluorine. The HOMO (LUMO) energies vary in the range of -5.33 to -6.82 eV (-3.12 to -4.65 eV). The UV-visible absorption spectra and photoelectron ionization energies of the deposited FxCuPc (x = 0, 8, and 16) thin films are compared with the calculation results. The calculated bandgap energies and HOMO levels are consistent with those obtained from the experimental results. (C) 2014 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    Short-channel, high-mobility organic transistors have been demonstrated using alkylated dinaphthothienothiophene. The field-effect mobility for a transistor with a channel length of 2 mu m was 1.46 cm(2)/Vs at operation of -15 V. The transconductance of the transistor reached to 500 mu S/mm, which is one of the highest values in pchannel organic transistors. The high mobility in short-channel transistors is attributed to low contact resistance caused by Au/AuNi electrodes modified with pentafluorobenzenethiol.

    We have demonstrated high mobility C-60 single-crystal field-effect transistors formed by a solution process. 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene (TCB) C-60 solution formed plate like crystals with sizes exceeding 500 mu m. We found that the C-60 single crystals prepared from solution consist of two TCB molecules per C-60 molecule, with a triclinic crystal structure. TCB molecules in C-60 crystals are extracted by an annealing process, and the crystal structure was changed to a face-centered-cubic structure. The C-60 single crystal prepared from TCB solution showed typical n-channel operation and high electron mobilities of up to 1.4 cm2 V-1 s(-1). (C) 2012 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    We demonstrated solution-processed C-60 thin-film transistors with high electron mobility. C-60 solutions in various organic solvents were dried in a vacuum chamber to obtain uniform thin films. While C-60 solution dried under atmospheric pressure produced a large number of crystals, vacuum-dried C-60 solution provided flat and uniform thin films of sufficiently high quality to fabricate thin-film transistors. In spite of amorphous-like thin-film formation, C-60 transistors showed strong solvent dependence. High performance C-60 thin-film transistors with field-effect mobility of 0.86 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), threshold voltage of 1.5 V, subthreshold slope of 0.67 V/decade and a current on/off ratio of 3.9 x 10(6) were obtained from 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene C-60 solution.

    Organic complementary circuits consisting of bottom-contact p-channel pentacene and n-channel C(60) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated to evaluate their dynamic properties. Modified drain and source electrodes were used to balance the threshold voltages of the pentacene and C(60) TFTs. The balanced threshold voltage allowed use of equal-size channel dimensions for both channel-type TFTs in the circuits. The signal delay per stage of a five-stage ring oscillator was consistent with the mobilities of the individual TFTs. The oscillation frequency increased with supply voltage up to 200 kHz, which is the highest frequency in organic five-stage complementary ring oscillators.

    Layer-by-layer formation for pi-conjugated azomethine multilayers bonded on substrates was investigated. The multilayers were synthesized using ethanol (EtOH) and dichloromethane (DCM) as reaction solvents. The multilayer characteristics were analyzed using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, ellipsometric thickness, and atomic force microscopy. The absorption spectra and ellipsometric thicknesses of multilayers formed using EtOH and DCM were compared. The results indicate that EtOH is more suitable than DCM for such layer-by-layer formation. In addition, bandgaps estimated from the absorption edge of multilayers were investigated. The results indicate that the bandgap decreases as the number of benzene rings contained in the molecular chain of the multilayer increases. Also, a multilayer with four benzene rings bonded on a substrate had a bandgap close to that of a polymer with a similar chemical structure. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Bottom-contact pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs) with different electrode types have been fabricated to investigate influence of the adhesion layers and surface modification on the transistor characteristics. Gold-nickel alloy or Ti was used for the adhesion layer; the drain/source electrodes were modified with pentafluorobenzenethiol (PFBT) or nonmodified. The TFTs with AuNi layers and PFBT-modified electrodes exhibit channel-length independent saturation mobility. The electrode-type TFT with a channel length of 2.2 mu m has a saturation mobility of 0.73 cm(2)/V s and a transconductance of 229 mu S/mm. The high performance is attributed to the low contact resistance of 408 cm. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3465735]

    Complementary use of p-type organic and n-type oxide semiconductors is presented. First, we demonstrated complementary circuits using low-voltage operating high performance pentacene and amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). The field-effect mobilities of the pentacene and a-IGZO transistors are 0.6 and 17.1 cm(2)/V s, respectively at an operating voltage of 10 V. A complementary inverter composed of these transistors exhibits good voltage transfer characteristics with a high gain of similar to 56. A five-stage ring oscillator with the inverters yields an output frequency of 200 Hz at 10 V, corresponding to a propagation delay of 1 ms. Second, together with the electrical device, we demonstrated an optoelectronic device, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), using organic/oxide hybrid junctions. The hybrid p-n junction LEDs are composed of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (alpha-NPD) and sputtered ZnO. Similar with conventional p-n junction diodes, the hybrid junction shows a good current rectification and electroluminescence (EL) under forward bias. We found that the EL bands from the device agree well with the photoluminescence peaks from alpha-NPD and ZnO, implying the radiative recombination of injected charges occurs in both components of the junction.

The hybrid structure shows a good current rectifying characteristic similar with conventional p-n junction diodes. Electroluminescence (EL) of the hybrid device exhibits two emission bands originated from InGaN/GaN MQWs, as well as alpha-NPD layer. The EL properties can be explained by either (or both) electron-hole charge transport between the components or (and) efficient energy transfer via Foster mechanism. The device characteristics could be applicable to various multicolor light-emitting diodes by constructing other organic/inorganic hybrid junctions.

    Bottom-contact n-channel C(60) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with drain/source electrodes modified by benzenethiol derivatives have been fabricated to investigate the influence of the modification on the transistor characteristics. Modification using methylbenzenethiol, aminobenzenethiol, and (dimethylamino)benzenethiol having electron-donating groups causes threshold voltages to shift to low voltages. In addition, the modification provides no significant decrease in saturation mobilities. A C(60) TFT with (dimethylamino)benzenethiol-modified electrodes has a low threshold voltage of 5.1 V as compared to that of 16.8 V for a TFT with nonmodified electrodes. The threshold-voltage shift is probably because the modification reduces electron-injection barrier height and improves electron injection into organic semiconductors.

    Fullerene C(60) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with bottom-contact structure have been fabricated. The parasitic resistance was extracted using gated-transmission line method. The drain/source electrodes consisted of a single Au layer with no adhesion layer; the channel lengths ranged from 5 to 40 mu m. The field-effect mobilities in the saturation regime slightly depended on the channel length, ranging from 2.45 to 3.23 cm(2)/V s. The mobility of 3.23 cm(2)/V s was obtained from the TFT with a channel length of 5 mu m and is the highest in organic TFTs with bottom-contact structure. The high mobility is due to the low parasitic resistance. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

    Organic field-effect transistors (FETs) have attracted considerable attention because of their potential for realizing large-area, mechanically flexible, lightweight and low-cost devices. Pentacene, which is a promising material for organic FETs, has been intensely studied. This article reviews the basic properties of pentacene films and crystals, and the characteristics of pentacene FETs fabricated under various conditions, including our recent achievement of low-voltage operating high-mobility FETs. The basic properties include the crystal polymorph, the band structure and the effective mass. These data have been used for discussion of carrier transport and mobility in pentacene films. The characteristics of pentacene FETs generally depend on the conditions of the pentacene film and the gate-dielectric surface. The dependences are summarized in the article. In addition, liquid-crystal displays and organic light-emitting device arrays using pentacene FETs are reviewed as applications of organic FETs, and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor circuits using our low-voltage operating FETs are also shown.

    A novel technique for the fabrication of photonic crystal (PC) nanocavities coupled with colloidal nanocrystals is presented. A waveguiding resist membrane embedding highly emitting dot-in-a-rod nanocrystals was patterned through e-beam lithography and released through wet etching process. The proposed approach makes the PC structure independent of fabrication imperfections induced by etching steps. Micro-photoluminescence spectra revealed degenerated resonant modes (Q-factor similar to 700) whose fabrication-induced spectral splitting is comparable to the full width at half-maximum of the peaks. Active nanocavities tunable from visible to infrared spectral range on GaAs or Si substrates can be easily implemented by this technique.

Abrupt vertical profiles and high aspect ratio (similar to 3) were achieved with excellent reproducibility even to the structure with periodicity as small as 150 run. The fabrication of air-bridge structure utilizing photoelectrochernical etching of SiC was demonstrated. Strong photoluminescence enhancement by a factor of 5 was observed from GaN QDs embedded in the air-bridge PC layer. This is due to the coupling of PL light with photonic bands above the light cone, thus results in the enhanced light extraction efficiency. These results will lead to the realization of high efficiency quantum dots based emitting devices in blue and ultraviolet range. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

    Soluble polymethacrylates having pendent tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq(3)) moieties were synthesized and applied to organic light emitting diode (OLED). 8-Hydroxyquinolines (8-HQs) having secondary alkyl groups at 7-position were employed as ligands as it is expected that these alkyl groups prevent external molecules from accessing to the metal center of the complexes leading to suppression of ligand-exchange-induced crosslinking and insolubilization. The ligands were synthesized from 7-methoxycarbonyl-8-hydroxyquinoline via alkylation with Grignard reagents and subsequent reductive dehydroxylation. These ligands were then derivatized to polymeric ligands through chloromethylation at 5-position, introduction of (methacryloyloxy) ethoxy moiety by Williamson ether synthesis, and radical polymerization. Complex formation with aluminum cation was carried out for various combinations of low-molecular-weight and polymer ligands. Some of the polymers obtained were soluble in organic solvents. Two-layer-type OLED devices were then prepared from the soluble Alq(3)-pendent polymers and poly (vinyl carbazole). Alq3-pendent polymers having 8-HQs with smaller 7-alkyl groups gave devices with better light-emitting efficiency compared to those with larger 7-alkyl groups.

    An organic photonic crystal (PC) with a nanocavity has been fabricated on a SiO2 membrane with air holes. The emission peak caused by the resonant mode of the nanocavity was clearly observed from the nanocavity area of the PC. The emission peak corresponded to degenerated dipole modes from comparison between measured and calculated results. Modification of a nanocavity caused the peak splitting of dipole modes and the appearance of a peak corresponding to a hexapole mode. The emission peak with a quality factor of about 1000 was obtained from a PC with a modified nanocavity. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

    Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with two-dimensional photonic crystal were fabricated to improve their light-extraction efficiency. The electroluminescence (EL) spectra from these OLEDs depended on the lattice constant of the photonic crystal. The relationship between the EL spectra and the lattice constant was investigated. On the basis of this investigation, a lattice constant was optimized to obtain a large improvement in luminance. In addition, OLEDs doped with coumarin 6 provided a larger improvement in luminance than nondoped OLEDs. The coumarin 6 doped OLED with the optimized lattice constant provided improvements of 62% in luminance in the normal direction and 25% in spatially integrated EL intensity.

    Polymethacrylate having a pendent 8-hydroxyquinoline moiety was prepared using Kelex-100 (7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)-8-hydroxyquinoline) as a starting material. A soluble polymer having tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (AlQ 3)-type side chains was obtained through the complexation of the polymer with Me3Al in the presence of a monomeric Kelex-100. The polymer complex was applied to an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device through a spin-cast process.

    Lateral carrier transport in a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin film has been investigated by the time-of-flight technique using a micro-excitation system. Drift mobility in the CuPc film has been estimated from the transient photocurrent measured for various electric field strengths. The drift mobility has been compared to the field-effect mobility of a thin-film transistor with CuPc as the channel material. The field-effect mobility was comparable to the drift mobility measured by the TOF technique.

    Integrated circuits with an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and a thin-film transistor (TFT) based on small molecules were fabricated on a glass substrate. The field-effect mobility and the current on/off ratio of the integrated TFTs with a pentacene layer deposited at room temperature were 0.12 cm(2)/V s and higher than 10(3), respectively. The OLEDs had a multilayer structure containing tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum doped with coumarin 6 to obtain high luminance efficiency. The luminance was controlled in the range of up to approximately 1000 by applying the gate voltage of 10 to -10 V. The value of the luminance is sufficient for conventional displays.

    Organic thin-film transistor circuits based on the small molecule, copper phthalocyanine, have been demonstrated for application to an active-matrix display with organic light-emitting diodes. The circuit consists of two organic thin-film transistors and one storage capacitor which provide continuous current under pulsed operation. The transistors for the circuit have been designed on the basis of the current characteristics of the individual transistors. Continuous output current has been obtained under pulsed voltage operation by using the organic transistor circuit.

    Squeezed states of light are theoretically investigated in a system with a locally placed two-photon absorption medium. We assume that the two-photon absorption process is caused by elementary excitations in the medium (such as biexcitons). Many eigenmodes of photons and those of the elementary excitations are taken into account because of the locality of the absorber. Multi-mode Wigner functions are defined and used for representation of the density operator of the electromagnetic field. The Wigner functions exhibit multi-variable Gaussian distribution and the quantum states of photons are multi-mode quadrature squeezed states. We also discuss effects on squeezing due to detuning of the incident light, the size of the medium, the position of a photo-detector, and damping rates of photons and the elementary excitations.

    We have studied the transition from two-dimensional (2D) growth to three-dimensional (3D) growth at the initial stage of In0.8Ga0.2As growth with the Stranski-Krastanov mode on GaAs by metal organic chemical vapor phase epitaxy. The surface morphology was observed by atomic force microscopy. In the early stage of the growth, the formation of 2D islands and that of holes were alternately repeated. 3D islands (quantum dots) appeared after the deposition of 3 monolayers. 2D islands with 4 monolayer thickness of In0.8Ga0.2As were also formed at the same time. The 2D islands shunned the quantum dots and grew laterally. In addition, we obtained a photoluminescence spectrum with several peaks corresponding to higher subbands with a high excitation intensity from the quantum dots.

  • Growth and optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots for semiconductor lasers with confined electrons and photons

    Y Arakawa, M Nishioka, H Nakayama, M Kitamura

    We discuss fabrication of InGaAs quantum dot structures using the self-assembling growth technique with the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode in MOCVD, including optical properties of the nano-structures. The formation process of the quantum dot islands was clarified by observing the samples grown under various conditions with an atomic force microscope. A trial for self-alignment of the quantum dots was also investigated. On the basis of these results; as the first step toward the ultimate semiconductor lasers in which both electrons and photons are fully quantized, a vertical microcavity InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot laser was demonstrated. Finally a perspective of the quantum dot lasers is discussed, including the bottleneck issues and the impact of the quantum dot structures for reducing threshold current in wide bandgap lasers such as GaN lasers.

    A vertical microcavity laser structure with an active layer of Stranski-Krastanow quantum dots was fabricated for the first time. The microcavity consists of an InGaAs quantum dot layer grown by MOCVD, located between two AlAs/Al0.2Ga0.8As distributed Bragg-reflector mirrors. The length of the microcavity was 4 lambda(lambda = 884 nm). The cavity effect was evidenced by the difference of the PL linewidths of samples with and without the cavity.

    Aligned InGaAs quantum dots as small as 20 nm were naturally formed at multi-atomic step edges by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth. In addition, it was found that anisotropic structure of InGaAs along the step edges toward the [110]A direction appears with the increase of growth time of InGaAs. This phenomenon may be useful in the formation of quantum wires.

  • Large conductance C_<60> thin-film transistors

    KITAMURA Masatoshi, NA Jong Ho, ARAKAWA Yasuhiko

    Bottom-contact C_<60> thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated. The channel lengths (L) ranged from 5 to 40μm. The saturation mobilities slightly depended on the channel length, ranging from 2.45 to 3.23cm^2/Vs. The highest mobility of 3.23cm^2/Vs was obtained from a TFT with L=5μm. The TFT had a conductance of 119μS/mm; which is relative high as compared to conventional organic TFTs. To investigate the reason that the short channel TFTs has high mobilities, we examined parasitic resistance. The calculated parasitic resistance was less than 1kWcm. The low parasitic resistance causes high mobility of the TFTs with with L=5μm.

    We report high-performance organic-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high dielectric constant gate insulators operating at low voltages. The gate insulators are Ti_<1-x>Si_xO_2 films, which were deposited by RF sputtering. The dielectric constant and surface roughness depends on the concentration of SiO_2 in Ti_<1-x>Si_xO_2 films. The Ti_<1-x>Si_xO_2 films with x ≥ 0.17 have flat surfaces. Pentacene TFTs with Ti_<1-x>Si_xO_2 gate insulators were fabricated and can operate at drain voltages of V_D≤-1 V at least. The field effect mobilities obtained at V_D≤-2 V are more than 1.0 cm^2/Vs. The pentacene TFT exhibits high performance with a threshold voltage of-1.6 V, an inverse subthreshold slope of 0.13 V/decade and a current on/off ratio of 1×10^7.

    P(VDF/TrFE)/ILゲルにおいて、リーク電流を抑制して分極反転を安定操作するために導入した三層構造ゲル素子(固体/ゲル/固体))の分極反転メカニズムを考察した。三層構造ゲル素子では従来の固体P(VDF-TrFE)と同等の残留分極量Prを示し、抗電界は大幅低下した。ゲル層だけでなく固体層も低電界で分極反転している実験事実から、そのメカニズムがイオン液体/P(VDF/TrFE)界面における電気二重層と分極との相互作用にあると考えた。外部電場を印加した際、ゲル内部のイオン液体は低電圧でイオン組み替えをおこし、界面極近傍に電気二重層を形成する。その際、界面での電束補償のために上下固体層P(VDF/TrFE)の分極反転が誘発されるモデルを考察した。また有機圧電フィルムからの出力信号を検知するための有機トランジスタ回路に関する研究を進め、その過程で得られた閾値電圧制御の技術を論理回路に応用して発振回路の動作に成功した。 また昨年度導入した心臓拍動シミュレータを用いて心臓の動きの圧電センシングを試みた。超薄圧電フィルムを成人男性の3D-CT画像から再現した心臓モデルに貼り付け、その拍動に伴う圧電出力の観測を行った。右心房・左心房を中心に臓器に沿うように設置した圧電フィルムからは、心臓モデルの膨張時、収縮時に正負逆の明確な圧電電圧信号をピックアップできた。分極処理としてUp/Downを反転すると逆極性の信号が観測できたことから、静電ノイズではなく圧電信号であることを確認した。またPVDFフィルムを用いた柔軟なカテーテル型触覚センサを試作し,錘落下実験による基礎評価を経て、内壁に凹凸のある血管モデルへの挿入実験を行い、生体内センシングの基礎検証を行った。

    The basic technology development for realization of high-frequency operating organic-transistor circuits leaded to the following achievement. Surface treatment for contact electrodes and optimization of fabrication process realized a high mobility of 3.3 cm2/Vs in organic transistors with bottom contact configuration that is easily applied to short channel transistors. Also, threshold voltage control in the range of a few V was demonstrated by oxygen plasma treatment. Furthermore, the work function and the thermal stability of surface-modified electrodes for low contact resistance were investigated. As a result, work functions in the range of 4.3 to 5.5 eV were obtained.
