The origin of excellent gate-bias stress stability in organic field-effect transistors employing fluorinated-polymer gate dielectrics.

Abstract

Tuning of the energetic barriers to charge transfer at the semiconductor/dielectric interface in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is achieved by varying the dielectric functionality. Based on this, the correlation between the magnitude of the energy barrier and the gate-bias stress stability of the OFETs is demonstrated, and the origin of the excellent device stability of OFETs employing fluorinated dielectrics is revealed.
