Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) AFM potentiometry, which is highly accurate of the analysis of potential distribution, is useful for the clarification of the characteristic limitation factor of organic thin-film transistors. However, there is a problem with low measurement yield, and it is suspected that the contact resistance between the organic semiconductor and the conductive probe is the considerable cause. In this work, the contact resistance between various conductive probes and pentacene was evaluated by AFM current measurement. As a result, it was confirmed that initial contact resistance of Pt-coated probe which is coated by a specific condition and carbon nanofiber (CNF) probe is low. It was also confirmed that the work function of CNF especially in a nitrogen atmosphere is almost equal to the top of pentacene HOMO. This would be a cause of the low contact resistance of CNF.
