Abstract

A symmetric poly(styrene-b-ethylene oxide-b-styrene) (SOS) triblock copolymer with block molecular weights (M_n) of 7k-14k-7k was synthesized by anionic polymerization. Various amounts of lithium perchlorate salt ([O/Li] ) 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48) were incorporated into the SOS block copolymer to achieve an elevated charge carrier density, which also led to lamellae formation and reduced crystallinity of the poly(ethylene oxide) block according to small-angle X-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry. Spin-coated SOS/LiClO₄ capacitors of 30 nm thickness exhibit very high capacitances (up to 4.5 μF/cm² at 10 Hz and 1.5 μF/cm ² at 1000 Hz with an amplitude of 0.1 V) and rather smooth surfaces (root-mean-square roughness of 0.5-2 nm). We expect to optimize these thin-film capacitors for high-performance organic thin film transistor applications.
