摘要
We report high-performance top-gated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT). The high charge carrier mobility in rr-P3HT FETs (0.4 cm(2)/Vs) was achieved due to the relatively low contact resistance and high crystallinity of rr-P3HT films. The contact resistance was controlled mainly through the use of high work-function platinum (Pt) (5.6 eV) for the charge injection electrode and a top-gate, bottom-contact geometry that enabled an enhanced current injection via current crowding in the staggered device structure. Moreover, the top-gate configuration provided improved device stability in air ambient conditions via the presence of a gate dielectric and gate electrode on top of the organic semiconductor.
