Graphene-organic interfaces for vertical electronic devices

This dissertation explores the interfaces between graphene and organic semiconductors, focusing on their charge transport characteristics and integration potential in vertical electronic devices. The research outlines methodologies for CVD graphene growth and transfer, and for its incorporation in organic electronics, utilizing techniques like chemical vapor deposition, wet transfer of CVD graphene and thermal evaporation of organic thin films. Experimental chapters discuss the interactions of small molecules like C60 and Pentacene, and the polymer P3HT, with graphene, and their effects on electronic properties, including graphene's in-plane charge transport and temperature-dependent charge carrier injection at the graphene-organic interfaces. The results of this work highlight the significant potential of graphene-organic interfaces as building blocks for the development of vertical organic permeable base transistors.
