Controlling transistor threshold voltages using molecular dipoles
We develop a theoretical model for how organic molecules can control the electronic and transport properties of an underlying transistor channel to whose surface they are chemically bonded. The influence arises from a combination of long-ranged dipolar electrostatics due to the molecular head-groups, as well as short-ranged charge transfer and interfacial dipole driven by equilibrium band-alignment between the molecular backbone and the reconstructed semiconductor surface atoms.
