In spite of interesting features as flexibility, organic thin-film transistors have commercially lagged behind due to the low mobilities of organic semiconductors associated with hopping transport. Furthermore, organic transistors usually have much larger channel lengths than their inorganic counterparts since high-resolution structuring is not available in low-cost production schemes. Here, we...

Herein, we report an organic field effect transistor (OFET) with an extended-gate modified by an artificial receptor for the detection of mercury(II) ions (Hg(2+)) in water. The sensor device is easy to fabricate, reusable, disposable, and portable. Thus OFET sensors could be applied for low-cost on-site detection of Hg(2+).

We demonstrated the memory effect of redox proteins in organic field-effect transistor (OFET) flash memory devices. Redox proteins include a heme structure, which has reversible redox reactions. These properties of the proteins could be successfully applied to the flash memory devices, which show a considerable memory window (~11 V) and relatively good endurance properties (~over 100 cycles).

We propose an organic field effect transistor (OFET)-based sensor design as a new and innovative platform for anion detection. OFETs could be fabricated on low-cost plastic film substrates using printing technologies, suggesting that OFETs can potentially be applied to practical supramolecular anion sensor devices in the near future.

Bottom- and top-contact organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated, using poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (PBTTT-C16) as p-type channel semiconductors. Four different types of OTFTs were fabricated and investigated as gas sensors against three volatile organic compounds, with different associated dipole moments...

We fabricated and characterized the amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) pixel electrode circuit with currentscaling function that can be used for active-matrix organic lightemitting displays (AM-OLEDs). As expected from previously reported simulation results, fabricated circuit showed an acceptable current-scaling performance for a high-resolution AM-OLED based on a-Si:H TFTs.

Saccharides in water are detected electrically using an extended-gate type organic field effect transistor (OFET) functionalised by a phenylboronic acid monolayer. The response patterns of the monosaccharides are significantly different, suggesting that OFET devices can successfully read out the saccharide recognition behaviour of boronic acids and be potentially applied to healthcare devices m...

Organic field-effect transistors have received much attention in the area of low cost, large area, flexible, and printable electronic devices.
