- the centroid P of the constituent material of the intermediate layer 10 can be positioned at the right of the lower surface of the gate electrode 7. In this way, said material blocks the holes. of the dielectric layer 6 preventing the passage of electrons from the gate electrode 7 in the dielectric layer 6, and therefore the appearance of a leakage current in said dielectric layer 6, even if the electrons pass into the intermediate layer 10.
- the intermediate layer 10 located beneath the gate electrode 7 consists of a self-assembled monolayer called SAM, according to the acronym "Self Assembled Monolayer", comprising an electrical imbalance within molecules constituting said monolayer.
- the material constituting the intermediate layer consists of at least one organic compound comprising at least one hooking function 11 on the gate electrode 7 and a spacer R.
- Said spacer R may consist of a linear, branched or cyclic carbon chain and may also comprise at least one hetero atom.
- the hook function 11 is not necessarily a molecule generating a chemical bond with the molecules of the gate electrode 7. Indeed, the function of hanging with the gate electrode 7 can be ensured by Van der Waals forces for example.
- the constituent material of the intermediate layer may for example consist of an organosulfur compound, that is to say an organic molecule comprising a thiol group (SH).
- the organosulfur compounds provide an adhesion in the form of a chemical bond with the gold molecules, when the source and drain electrodes are made of this metal.
- the organosulfur compound may for example consist of alkanathiol, triophenol, mercaptopyridine, mercaptoaniline, mercaptoimidazole, cysteine or tripod-thiol.
- said material may consist of other organosulfur compounds, such as, for example, compounds comprising a dialkylsulfide, diakyldisulphide, alkylxanthate, dialkylthiocarbonate, thiophene, thiourea, thioctic acid, thiocyanate, pyridine-ethyl or ethylenic nitrile (CNE) group, Trimethyl-silica, ethyl (TMSE), acetyl or tertiary butyl carbonyl.
- organosulfur compounds such as, for example, compounds comprising a dialkylsulfide, diakyldisulphide, alkylxanthate, dialkylthiocarbonate, thiophene, thiourea, thioctic acid, thiocyanate, pyridine-ethyl or ethylenic nitrile (CNE) group, Trimethyl-silica, ethyl
- organosulfur compounds comprising an acetyl (Ac), tertiary butyl carbonyl (Boc), trimethyl-silica-ethyl (TMSE), pyridine-ethyl, ethyl nitrile (CNE), thiocyanate, thioctic acid and tripod-thiol group are particularly suitable.
- SAM self-assembled monolayer
- the field effect transistor 1 is obtained by deposition on a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate having a thickness of about 125 microns, forming the lower substrate 2 of the transistor, and 3 nanometers 'or (Au).
- PEN polyethylene naphthalate
- the gold layer (Au) is then etched to obtain a source electrode 3 and a drain electrode 4.
- a triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) pentacene semiconducting layer 5 of approximately 90 nanometers thick is deposited by rotogravure. , which is then covered with a dielectric layer 6 fluoropolymer sold under the brand CYTOP ® for example, to a thickness of about 800 nanometers.
- cysteine molecules of general formula HSNH2COOH are deposited by ink jet on a portion of the upper surface of the dielectric layer 6 in line with the region of the gate electrode 7 to form an intermediate layer 10.
- the intermediate layer 10 may be deposited by any other deposition method well known to those skilled in the art such as by thermal evaporation or by a photolithographic process for example, without departing from the scope of the invention.
