Abstract
We herein report ambipolar organic field-effect transistors based on rubrene single crystals. The transistors operate in both the p- and n-channel regimes depending upon the bias conditions. Hole and electron mobilities of 1.8 and 1.1×10−2cm2∕Vs, respectively, were derived from saturated currents. The appearance of an electron enhancement mode in single crystals of wide-band-gap semiconductors (∼2.6eV) is ascribed to the reduction of electron traps at the semiconductor-dielectric interface using a hydroxyl-free gate dielectric.

Semiconducting π-conjugated systems in field-effect transistors: a material odyssey of organic electronics.

TL;DR: The focus of this review will be on the performance analysis of π-conjugated systems in OFETs, a kind of device consisting of an organic semiconducting layer, a gate insulator layer, and three terminals that provide an important insight into the charge transport of ρconjugate systems.

The larger acenes: versatile organic semiconductors.

TL;DR: New approaches to add functionality were developed to improve the processability of these materials in solution, allowing the synthesis of acenes larger than pentacene, which have hitherto been largely unavailable and poorly studied.

High-Performance Organic Field-Effect Transistors

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the state-of-the-art organic field effect transistors is presented, focusing on the problem of parameter extraction, limitations of the performance by the interfaces, which include the dielectric-semiconductor interface, and the injection and retrieval of charge carriers at the source and drain electrodes.

General observation of n-type field-effect behaviour in organic semiconductors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the use of an appropriate hydroxyl-free gate dielectric—such as a divinyltetramethylsiloxane-bis(benzocyclobutene) derivative (BCB; ref. 6)—can yield n-channel FET conduction in most conjugated polymers, revealing that electrons are considerably more mobile in these materials than previously thought.

Intrinsic Charge Transport on the Surface of Organic Semiconductors

TL;DR: The air-gap field-effect technique enabled realization of the intrinsic (not limited by static disorder) polaronic transport on the surface of rubrene (C42H28) crystals over a wide temperature range.

Electrically Induced Optical Emission from a Carbon Nanotube FET

TL;DR: Electrical measurements show that the observed optical emission originates from radiative recombination of electrons and holes that are simultaneously injected into the undoped nanotubes, consistent with a nanotube FET model in which thin Schottky barriers form at the source and drain contacts.
