Our goal is to integrate fundamental surface science and
interface synthesis chemistry with novel device architecture that
is underpinned by an analysis of device physics to build nextgeneration
molecular scale transistors with application to
microelectronic devices. The promise of molecular electronics
has been based on organic thin films in devices devised and
studied so far. Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) most
commonly use pentacene as the semiconductor in these devices;
pentacene-based OTFTs have carrier mobilities in the range of 1
cm2
/Vs and on-off ratios between 106 and 108 [1] which may rival
the performance of amorphous silicon transistors. There are,
however, major drawbacks of pentacene-based OTFTs, including
processing issues and grain boundary limitations[2] poor subthreshold
performance and large positive threshold voltages. In
order to truly realize the promise of molecular electronics, where
active devices are of the scale of molecules, new device
architectures must be devised where molecular control of the
structure is key. We propose to create new molecular
architectures based on organized growth of surface-attached
organic semiconductors on nanoscale devices through directed
regular stacking of bifunctional oligoarenes and organometallic
complex linkers. Our new architecture eliminates the need for
superdeposited pentacene or other organic semiconductors by
synthesizing ordered, truly molecular devices based on new
concepts of device physics that employ our unique ways to build
ordered arrays of aromatics.
