چکیده
We demonstrate a polymer non-field-effect transistor in a vertical architecture with an Al grid embedded in a polymer sandwiched between another two electrodes. The Al grid containing high density of self-assembled submicron openings is fabricated by a non-lithography method. This device modulates the space-charge-limited current of a unipolar polymer diode with the Al grid. The operating voltage of the device is as low as 4 V, the on/off ratio is higher than one hundred, and the current gain is 10. The current density is higher than 1 mA/cm. 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The influences of device geometry and p-type doping on a solution-processed polymer space-charge-limited transistor
A polymer vertical transistor with an on/off current ratio higher than 104 is demonstrated. The proposed space-charge limited transistor (SCLT) uses a metal-grid base containing high-density submicrometre openings to modulate the vertical space-charge-limited current (SCLC). The key to obtaining a high on/off current ratio is to reduce the leakage current of SCLT. In this paper, an improved dev...
متن کاملEffect of Nanowire-dielectric Interface on the Hysteresis of Solution Processed Silicon Nanowire FETs
Silicon nanowires (Si NW) are ideal candidates for low-cost solution processed field effect transistors (FETs) due to the ability of nanowires to be dispersed in solvents, and demonstrated high charge carrier mobility. The interface between the nanowire and the dielectric plays a crucial role in the FET characteristics, and can be responsible for unwanted effects such as current hysteresis duri...

Polymer light-emitting transistor is realized by vertically stacking a top-emitting polymer light-emitting diode on a polymer space-charge-limited transistor. The transistor modulates the current flow of the light-emitting diode by the metal-grid base voltage. The active semiconductor of the transistor is poly 3-hexylthiophene . Yellow poly para-phenylene vinylene derivative is used as the yell...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Solution-Processed Gate Dielectrics for High-Performance Organic Thin Film Transistors
A low-temperature solution-processed high-k gate dielectric layer for use in a high-performance solution-processed semiconducting polymer organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) was demonstrated. Photochemical activation of sol-gel-derived AlOx films under 150 °C permitted the formation of a dense film with low leakage and relatively high dielectric-permittivity characteristics, which are almost co...
متن کاملControl of Molecular Ordering, Alignment, and Charge Transport in Solution-Processed Conjugated Polymer Thin Films
Morphology of conjugated polymers is a critical factor that significantly affects intrinsic charge transport characteristics and in turn performance of polymer-based devices. Morphological defects including misaligned crystalline grains and grain boundaries significantly impede efficient charge hopping between transport sites, resulting in degradation of device performance. Therefore, one impor...
