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-bas...

We introduce a new class of photo-electron-beam resists and solvents which are benign to organic electronic materials. We demonstrate that our patterning approach enables the fabrication of unique organic electronic devices, such as all organic thin film transistors, patterned light emitting diode displays and top-contact small channel length thin film transistors. Summary of Research: Organic ...

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were first described in 1987. Their characteristics have undergone spectacular improvements during the last two or three years. At the same time, several models have been developed to rationalize their operating mode. In this review, we examine the performance of OFETs as revealed by recently published data, mainly in terms of field-effect mobility and o...

This chapter aims to provide the reader with a practical knowledge about electrical methods to measure organic thin film transistor devices. It presents a series of recipes, which allow the experimentalist to gain insight into the performance and limitations of the devices and circuits being measured. It also gives guidelines on how to correctly interpret the measurements and to provide feedbac...

Over the past twenty years, research into the applications of organic semiconductors (OSCs) has intensified rapidly. Though their electron mobility is much lower than that of typical semiconductors, OSCs show promise in low-cost, flexible, lightweight, and environmentally-friendly semiconductor applications. Their hole mobility was found to be comparable to that of amorphous silicon (a-Si), wit...

This report discusses some of the electrical and optical properties of thin films of the organic semiconductor pentacene fabricated using thermal evaporation. Conductivities of between 1.84 × 10 Ω cm and 7.49 × 10 Ω cm are reported. Transistors using thermally evaporated pentacene were fabricated and mobilities of up to 0.03 cmVs were obtained.
