In this paper, we discuss the surface doping in sexithiophene (T6) organic field-effect transistors by N,N?-bis (n-octyl)-dicyanoperylenediimide (PDI-8CN2). We show that an accumulation heterojunction is formed at the interface between the organic semiconductors and that the consequent band bending in T6 caused by PDI-8CN2 deposition can be addressed as the cause of the surface doping in T6 transistors. Several evidences of this phenomenon have been furnished both by electrical transport and photoemission measurements, namely, the increase in the conductivity, the shift of the threshold voltage, and the shift of the T6 highest occupied molecular orbital peak towards higher binding energies.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the surface doping in sexithiophene (T6) organic field-effect transistors by N,N?-bis (n-octyl)-dicyanoperylenediimide (PDI-8CN2). We show that an accumulation heterojunction is formed at the interface between the organic semiconductors and that the consequent band bending in T6 caused by PDI-8CN2 deposition can be addressed as the cause of the surface doping in T6 transistors. Several evidences of this phenomenon have been furnished both by electrical transport and photoemission measurements, namely, the increase in the conductivity, the shift of the threshold voltage, and the shift of the T6 highest occupied molecular orbital peak towards higher binding energies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
