The authors investigated the influence of O-2 and H2O molecules absorbed in carbon-60 (C60) films on their electron trap and n-type field-effect transistor (FET) characteristics. Electron traps in the C60 films were directly measured using a thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. The TSC results demonstrate that the absorption of O-2 and H2O molecules in the C60 films induced an increase in the electron trap concentration, which degrades C60 FET characteristics. By annealing the C60 films at 100 degrees C for 8 h, the electron trap concentrations were markedly lowered, enhancing the C60 FET characteristics. An electron mobility of 0.017 cm(2)/V s and a current on/off ratio of 10(6) were observed from the degassed C60 FETs. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
