Abstract

We report an effective way to equilibrate hole and electron transport in ambipolar pentacene thin film transistors �TFTs�. It was achieved by inserting an ultra thin lithium fluoride �LiF� layer at the electrode/organic interface to form a bifunctional source/drain electrode. It can be observed that the presence of ultrathin LiF layer will facilitate the injection of electrons from source/drain electrodes to organic semiconductor, resulting in a significant enhancement of the n-channel conduction, without sacrificing p-channel conduction for ambipolar pentacene TFTs. These factors make them potential candidates for the organic complementary circuits and inverter circuits of these ambipolar TFTs are also demonstrated
