本論文中,主要探討運用微接觸壓印技術沉積量子點(QDs)薄膜於有機薄膜電晶體記憶元件之研究。在有機薄膜電晶體研究中,由於此壓印方式可有效減少有機溶劑對於薄膜品質上之破壞,另外相較於傳統旋轉塗佈方式,此壓印方式更具有薄膜圖案化的優勢,因此將此壓印技術運用於元件製成中,可有效減少漏電流路徑。在本研究中的壓印方式上,運用聚二甲基矽氧烷(PDMS)製作出壓印所需要的印章,將量子點均勻旋轉塗佈於PDMS印章上,隨後壓印於介電層材料上,其量子點可作為記憶體元件中之浮動閘極,達成臨界電壓值的改變以實現記憶體效果。
在量子點於電晶體式記憶體應用方面,我們採用n+型矽(閘極電極)/氧化矽(介電層)/聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(黏貼層)/量子點(浮動閘極)/並五苯(通道層)/金(源極及汲極層)為基本結構。傳統元件中利用量子點與聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯混合溶液在旋轉塗佈後形成浮動閘極之薄膜;有別於此方式,我們運用聚二甲基矽氧烷印章成功將量子點轉印至聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯之上,量子點在元件中扮演抓取載子的重要角色。此元件於電性量測上可進行電晶體操作,記憶體操作上,記憶儲存窗在磁滯測試中可由原本傳統旋轉塗佈方式量子點(QDs)記憶電晶體的25 V提高到74.3 V,開關操作上可以達到一百次,並在一百次操作後仍然能辨別出 ”1” 和 “0”的邏輯分別,保存時間上可以達到32年 (109秒)的效果。
在雞蛋白電晶體和記憶電晶體研究方面,在前半段運用水於雞蛋白薄膜表面旋轉塗佈以達到改變表面自由能,將雞蛋白表面自由能提高至與主動層(並五苯)相匹配後,可發現並五苯結晶品質獲得顯著地改善。由於主動層並五苯結晶品質會直接影響到電晶體之特性,運用水處理過後,雞蛋白電晶體良率由原本12.5%提升至80%。後半部實驗則是運用壓印方式將量子點轉印在雞蛋白薄膜之上,傳統旋轉塗佈方式在原子力顯微鏡(AFM)量測下雞蛋薄膜表面粗糙度為3.48 nm,而在運用壓印方式下,表面粗糙度降低至2.48 nm; 為了更為有效降低表面粗糙度,在雞蛋白薄膜上利用水進行表面處理,雞蛋白在水的保護下可免於被甲苯溶劑所破壞,表面粗糙度更降為1.47 nm,壓印量子點後成功製作出量子點浮動閘極,以獲得雞蛋白記憶電晶體效果,記憶儲存窗可達到50.33 V,但在開關特性和穩定度測試中,此雞蛋白介電層記憶元件能有待改善的空間。
The main purpose of this thesis was focused on the deposition of quantum dots (QDs) thin film in organic memory thin film transistors by microcontact printing technique. In the study of organic thin film transistors, the transfer contact printing method could effectively prevent the destruction of thin film from organic solvent. Besides, contact printing technique has the advantage of thin film patterning. Therefore, the number of leakage current paths could be effectively reduced by the application of contact printing technique in the fabricated procedures. In this study, we used polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to be the stamps. After spin coating the QDs on the PDMS stamp, the QDs were then transferred onto the dielectric layer subsequently. The QDs can be used as floating gate of the devices. Floating gate partially offset the internal electric field which inducing the shift of threshold voltage. The shift of threshold voltage accomplished memory effect.
In the study of QDs’ application for transistor-type memory, the basic structure was n+ - Si (gate electrode)/SiO2 (dielectric layer)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (adhesion layer)/quantum dots (floating gate)/pentacene (channel layer)/gold (source and drain layer). The floating gate of conventional devices was fabricated by spin coating the QD-PMMA composite on the SiO2 thin film. Compared with spin coating method, using the PDMS stamp can also successfully transfer QDs onto PMMA layer. The QDs were playing in an important role to capture the carrier charges in the transistor device. The device showed typical transistor characteristics under electrical operation. Under hysteresis testing, the memory window could increase from 25 V with spin coating method to 74.3 V using contact printing technique. And the switching property exhibited over 100 write-read-erase-read cycles. Furthermore, the retention time achieved more than 32 years (109 seconds).
In study of albumen based thin film transistors and memory transistors, the dielectric material was changed to be albumen which is friendly to our environment. The first half of experiment was spin-coating above the surface of chicken albumen thin film with water for changing surface free energy. After increasing the surface free energy of albumen thin film to match with that of active layer (pentacene film), the quality of pentacene crystal was markedly improved. Because the crystal quality of pentacene layer can directly affect performance of transistor, the yield rate could increase from 12.5% to 80% after water treatment. In last half of experiment, the contact printing method was used to fabricate quantum dots. Under Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements, the surface roughness of albumen film with spin coating method was 3.48 nm and could reduce to 2.48 nm by applying contact printing technique. Furthermore, the surface of chicken albumen thin film was treated by spin coating water for preventing the damage from toluene and efficiently reducing surface roughness. The surface roughness of albumen film could reach 1.47 nm with water protection. After transferring QDs onto albumen film, the transistor-type memory purpose was realized. In this device testing, the memory window was 50.33 V. But the switching property and stability of memory thin film transistors still have room to be improved.
