Abstract

We found a novel way to improve charge transfer characteristics of 6, 13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS)-field effect transistor (FET) device, by embedding bio-friendly plastic nanoparticles of cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) into TIPS. We compared TIPS-CNW layers and pure TIPS layers using TEM, SEM, and X-ray analysis. By observing the effect of crystal alignment, we analyzed the cause of the increased charge transfer in TIPS-CNW than in TIPS FET devices. The molecular direction, size, and crystallinity of the substrate surface were found changed by embedding CNW nanoparticles and lead to the improvement of charge transfer characteristics of TIPS organic semiconductor devices, even though the embedded CNW have electrical insulating properties.
