Abstract

An organic transistor includes a semiconductor section that includes a thin-film laminate in which a first organic thin film and a second organic thin film are alternately stacked. The thin-film laminate includes at least two layers of the first organic thin film. The first organic thin film is a pentacene thin film, and the second organic thin film is an amorphous organic thin film. The pentacene thin film may be a pentacene bilayer thin film, and the amorphous organic thin film may be a tetraaryldiamine thin film. The tetraaryldiamine thin film may be an α-NPD thin film. The organic transistor has improved transistor characteristics (e.g., mobility, ON/OFF ratio, or threshold value control).

Claims (9)

1. An organic transistor comprising:

a gate;

a gate insulation layer;

a semiconductor section that includes a first organic thin film and a second organic thin film that are alternately stacked;

a drain electrode that is connected to a drain of the semiconductor section; and

a source electrode that is connected to a source of the semiconductor section,

the semiconductor section including at least a three layer structure having the second organic thin film sandwiched directly between two layers of the first organic thin film, the first organic thin film being a pentacene thin film, and the second organic thin film being an amorphous organic thin film.

2. The organic transistor as defined in claim 1 , the pentacene thin film being a pentacene bilayer thin film, and the amorphous organic thin film being a tetraaryldiamine thin film.

3. The organic transistor as defined in claim 2 , the tetraaryldiamine thin film being an α-NPD thin film.
