High-mobility pentacene organic field-effect transistors with a high-dielectric-constant fluorinated polymer film gate dielectric

Abstract

High-performance pentacene organic thin-film transistors with double layers of the terpolymer electret poly(vinylidene fluoride/tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene) and the polymer poly(vinyl cinnamate) as a gate dielectric are reported. The electret is a high-k dielectric polymer with a static dielectric constant of ε=14. The transistors show an intrinsic field-effect mobility in the range of μi=1cm2∕Vs and an on- to off-current ratio of about 105. High-k polymer gate dielectrics seem promising for organic nonvolatile memory and sensor field-effect transistors.
