Planar-Processed Polymer Transistors

Abstract

Planar-processed polymer transistors are proposed where the effective charge injection and the split unipolar charge transport are all on the top surface of the polymer film, showing ideal device characteristics with unparalleled performance. This technique provides a great solution to the problem of fabrication limitations, the ambiguous operating principle, and the performance improvements in practical applications of conjugated-polymer transistors.

Keywords: ambipolar charge transport; conjugated polymers; contact resistance; organic field-effect transistors; planar processes.
