Abstract
A main factor contributing to bias stress instability in organic transistors is charge trapping of mobile carriers near the gate insulator-semiconductor interface into localized electronic states. In this paper, we study the bias stress behavior in low-voltage (p-type) polyelectrolyte-gated organic field effect transistors (EGOFETs) at various temperatures. Stressing and recovery in these EGOFETs are found to occur six orders of magntiude faster than typical bias stress/recovery reported for dielectric-gated OFETs. The mechanism proposed for EGOFETs involves an electron transfer reaction between water and the charged semiconductor channel that promotes the creation of extra protons diffusing into the polyelectrolyte.
