Abstract
Description
また、有機トランジスタの動作には、ゲート絶縁膜に1MV/cm以上の極めて高い電界を加える必要がある。有機トランジスタ以外の電子デバイスにおいて、これほど高い電界を必要とするのはほとんどなく、有機トランジスタ用ゲート絶縁膜は他の用途の絶縁膜に比べ極めて高い性能が要求されているといえる。
つまり、有機トランジスタ用ゲート絶縁膜は、膜厚1μm以下で、低いリーク電流密度(例えば、体積抵抗率で1015Ωcm以上(1MV/cm時))、高い絶縁破壊耐圧(1MV/cm以上)を満たす必要がある。
また、空気中の水分や酸素の影響によっても、有機トランジスタの特性は低下するとも考えられている(非特許文献2)。有機半導体層に水分や酸素が吸着されるケースに加えて、ゲート絶縁膜に水分や酸素が吸着されるケースも考えられることから、オン/オフ比を安定させるためには、ゲート絶縁膜の吸湿性や酸素吸着性も考慮しなければならない。
このように有機トランジスタ用ゲート絶縁膜の材料設計は、絶縁膜としての基本的な性能に加えて、有機トランジスタの特性をも考慮する必要があり、既存の絶縁膜材料をそのまま適用することは困難である。
さらに、こうした絶縁材料としての電気特性に加え、材料としての操作性にも優れる材料、すなわち、溶媒全般にわたって易溶解性であり、容易にゲート絶縁膜を形成可能な絶縁材料が求められていた。

なお、一度の塗布・加熱処理により所望の厚さの硬化膜(ゲート絶縁膜)が得られない場合は、塗布・加熱処理の工程を所望の膜厚となるまで繰り返せばよい。
本発明の薄膜トランジスタは、前出の本発明のゲート絶縁膜を用いたものであればその構成は特に制限されない。一例として、図1乃至図4に本発明のゲート絶縁膜を用いた薄膜トランジスタの構成例を示す。
図1の例では、ゲート絶縁膜3の上にソース電極4とドレイン電極4とが設置されており、これらを覆うように半導体層5が形成されている。
一方、図2の例では、ゲート絶縁膜3の上に半導体層5が形成され、その上にソース電極4とドレイン電極4とが設置されている。
また、図3の例では、ゲート絶縁膜3aの上にゲート絶縁膜3bが形成され、この上にソース電極とドレイン電極が設置されている。半導体層5はこれらを覆うように形成されている。ここでゲート絶縁膜3bは、トランジスタの特性制御のため絶縁膜としての機能の他に、表面処理膜又はソース電極4とドレイン電極4の電極形成用下層膜としての機能も有する。
さらに図4の例では、基板1上に半導体層5が形成されており、この半導体層5と基板1の双方を覆うようにソース電極4とドレイン電極4が設置されている。そしてゲート絶縁膜3は半導体層5とソース電極4とドレイン電極4の上に形成され、その上にゲート電極2が設置された構成となっている。
これらの電極材料は1種類で用いてもよいが、薄膜トランジスタの電界効果移動、オン/オフ比の向上を目的として、もしくは閾値電圧の制御を目的として、複数の材料を組み合わせて用いてもよい。又、ゲート電極、ソース電極、ドレイン電極のそれぞれにおいて異なる電極材料を用いてもよい。
塗布可能な電極材料としては、ナノ金属微粒子や有機π共役ポリマーなどがある。
また、N,N-ジメチルホルムアミド、N,N-ジメチルアセトアミド、2-ピロリドン、N-メチル-2-ピロリドン、n-エチル-2-ピロリドン、n-ビニル-2-ピロリドン、N-メチルカプロラクム、ジメチルスルホキシド、テトラメチル尿素などの極性溶媒も電極材料の溶解性に優れる観点から好ましいが、これらは、本発明のゲート絶縁膜へのダメージが少ない範囲において使用することが好ましい。
成膜の際、π共役ポリマーの溶媒としては、これらを溶解または均一に分散させることができ、かつ本発明のゲート絶縁膜へのダメージ(インターミキシングなど)が少ないものであれば特に限定されず、特に好ましい溶媒としては、トルエン、キシレン、メシチレンなど芳香族炭化水素系の溶媒を例示する事ができる。
