A mobility model for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) has been considered that fully accounts for the effect of grains and grain boundaries of the organic layer. The model has been applied to a top contact pentacene OTFT. Comparison between simulation results and experimental data shows a strong dependence of mobility as a function of grain size. The field-effect-extracted mobility is not linearly related to the grain size, but presents a rather abrupt reduction for a grain size smaller than 2 μm
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
