14 GHz Schottky Diodes Using a p-Doped Organic Polymer.

The low carrier mobility of organic semiconductors and the high parasitic resistance and capacitance often encountered in conventional organic Schottky diodes hinder their deployment in emerging radio frequency (RF) electronics. Here, these limitations are overcome by combining self-aligned asymmetric nanogap electrodes (≈25 nm) produced by adhesion lithography, with a high mobility organic semiconductor, and RF Schottky diodes able to operate in the 5G frequency spectrum are demonstrated. C IDT-BT is used, as the high hole mobility polymer, and the impact of p-doping on the diode performance is studied.
