Dynamic Infrared Electro-Optic Response of Soluble Organic
Semiconductors in Thin Film Transistors

We use a frequency-dependent electro-optic technique to measure the hole mobility in small molecule organic semiconductors, such as 6,13 bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-pentacene. Measurements are made on semiconductor films in bottom gate, bottom contact field-effect transistors (FETs.) Because of the buried metal layer effect the maximum response, due to absorption in the charge layer, will be for a dielectric film ~ 1/4 of a wavelength (in the dielectric) (e.g. ~ 1 micron thick in the infrared.) Results are presented for FETs prepared with both spin-cast polymer and alumina dielectrics prepared by atomic layer deposition. At low frequencies the results are fit to solutions to a non-linear differential equation describing the spatial dependence of flowing charge in the FET channel, which allows us to study multiple crystals forming across one set of drain-source contacts. FETs prepared on alumina dielectrics show interesting deviations from the model at high frequencies, possibly due to increased contact impedance.
