Abstract: Disclosed are methods of fabricating organic thin film transistors composed of a substrate, a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, metal oxide source/drain electrodes, and an organic semiconductor layer. The methods include applying a sufficient quantity of a self-assembled monolayer compound containing a live ion to the surfaces of the metal oxide electrodes to form a self-assembled monolayer. The presence of the live ion at the interface between the metal oxide electrodes and the organic semiconductor layer modifies the relative work function of these materials. Further, the presence of the self-assembled monolayer on the gate insulating film tends to reduce hysteresis. Accordingly, organic thin film transistors fabricated in accord with the example embodiments tend to exhibit improved charge mobility, improved gate insulating film properties and decreased hysteresis associated with the organic insulator.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition, an organic insulating film including the same, an organic thin film transistor including the organic insulating film, an electronic device including the organic thin film transistor and methods of fabricating the same. In the composition, an organic polymer material having a carboxyl group and an organic silane material having an electron-donating group are included to thus realize a structure which may further stabilize an unreacted crosslinking material. Thereby, a hysteresis phenomenon may be decreased and transparency may be increased, thus making it possible to assure stability upon exposure to air. Accordingly, the lifetime of the organic thin film transistor may be lengthened.
