Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a metalloporphyrin polymer on a substrate. The method creates a functionalized substrate by attaching an anchor group of a linker, including a terminal alkyne group, to a substrate surface. The functionalized substrate is then exposed to metalloporphyrin monomers, where each metalloporphyrin monomer includes at least two terminal alkyne groups. A plurality of metalloporphyrin monomers (e.g., zinc porphyrin monomers) are thus linked via the metalloporphyrin monomer terminal alkyne groups, forming a metalloporphyrin polymer attached to the substrate. In one aspect, linking the plurality of metalloporphyrin monomers via the metalloporphyrin monomer terminal alkyne groups includes forming butadiyne groups between adjacent metalloporphyrins. Then, forming the metalloporphyrin polymer attached to the substrate includes attaching the metalloporphyrin polymer, via a metalloporphyrin monomer terminal alkyne group, to the terminal alkyne group of an associated linker.

Abstract: The invention provides a thin film transistor having current driving force that can be substantially improved. By heat treatment, the IGZO layer (45) from which oxygen is taken away by the titanium electrodes (65) becomes the low resistance regions (40b), and the IGZO layer (45) from which oxygen is not taken away remains as the high resistance region (40a). In this state, when the gate voltage is applied to the gate electrode (20), electrons in the low resistance regions (40b) near the boundaries with the high resistance region (40a) move respectively to the titanium electrode (65) sides. As a result, the length of the low resistance regions (40b) becomes short, and oppositely, the length of the high resistance region (40a) becomes longer by the size of the shortened low resistance regions. However, the electrical channel length (Le) becomes shorter than the source/drain interval space (Lch) as the limit resolution of the exposure device, and the current driving force becomes large.

Abstract: A method is provided for synthesizing a metal (M) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin polymer. The method begins with the provision of a free-base (H2)-meso-tetra-4-(trialkylsilyl)ethynylphenylporphyrin (H2-tetra-C?C-TriAS-TPP) including a trialkylsilyl (TriAS) moiety attached to an ethynyl termini. In response to a reaction with a metal (M)-containing material, the H2-tetra-C?C-TriAS-TPP is converted to a metal (M)-tetra-4-(trialkylsilyl)ethynylphenylporphyrin (M-tetra-C?C-TriAS-TPP). Then, the M-tetra-C?C-TriAS-TPP is converted to a M-tetra-4-ethynylphenylporphyrin (M-tetra-C?C-TPP) monomer by removing the trialkylsilyl (TriAS) moiety from the ethynyl termini. Finally, a plurality of M-tetra-C?C-TPP monomers are coupled together to supply a metal (M)-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin polymer (M-poly-meso-TPP), whereby meso-phenyl groups of adjacent M-tetra-C?C-TPP monomers in the M-poly-meso-TPP are connected through a butadiyne linking moiety.
