Abstract

A light-emitting field-effect transistor was fabricated, with its architecture based on a distinct heterojunction located midway between the source and drain contacts. Tetracene enabled hole transport on one side of the heterojunction (hole mobility ∼0.071 cm2/Vs), while amorphous solution-processed zinc tin oxide supported electron transport on the other side (electron mobility ∼0.81 cm2/Vs). The drain current vs. gate voltage curves of this device have a bell-shaped profile that is characteristic of lateral heterojunction bipolar field-effect transistors. The green light emission—from tetracene—closely follows the trend in drain current and is naked-eye visible in a darkened room.
