چکیده
Organic thin film transistors have been a popular research topic in recent decades and have found applications from flexible displays to disposable sensors. In this review, we present an overview of some notable articles reporting sensing applications for organic transistors with a focus on the most recent publications. In particular, we concentrate on three main types of organic transistor-based sensors: biosensors, pressure sensors and ―e-nose‖/vapour sensors.

On the mode of operation in electrolyte-gated thin film transistors based on different substituted polythiophenes
Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFT), gated through an aqueous electrolyte, have extensively been studied as sensors in various applications. These water-gated devices are known to work both as electrochemical (Organic ElectroChemical Transistor OECT) and field-effect (Organic Field-Effect Transistor OFET) devices. To properly model and predict the response of water-gated OTFT sensors it is imp...
متن کاملOrganic Thin Film Transistors based Oligothiophine Derivatives using - Dihexyl ( quarter - & sexi - ) Thiophene
End-substitution of quarterthiophene and sexithiophene with hexyl groups leads to highly soluble conjugated oligomers, -dihexylquarterthiophene (DH-4T) and -dihexylsexithiophene (DH-6T). We have characterized these oligomers for optical and electrical properties. We fabricated an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using the above two air-stable p-type organic semiconductor materials. We obtain...

متن کاملUltralow drift in organic thin-film transistor chemical sensors by pulsed gating
A pulsed gating method has been developed to enhance the baseline stability of organic thin-film transistor OTFT chemical sensors. Trap states in the organic films are the major source of the OTFTs baseline drift under static gate bias, which is identified as the bias stress effect BSE . BSE typically reduces the baseline current by 60% over 20 h in phthalocyanine based OTFT sensors. The baseli...
متن کاملAn electrical characterisation system for the real-time acquisition of multiple independent sensing parameters from organic thin film transistors
The presence of multiple independent sensing parameters in a single device is the key conceptual advantage of sensor devices based on an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) over simple organic chemiresistors. Practically, however, these multiple parameters must first be extracted from the electrical characteristics of the OTFTs and, thus, they are not immediately apparent. To exploit the advant...
