Abstract: Effect of UV irradiation $( \lambda _{Peak} \quad =365$ nm) on the electrical performance of the OFETs with CuPc as active layer is demonstrated. The devices have shown stable electrical performance under dark with avg. and max. field effect mobility of $( 1.0 \pm 0.3 ) \times 10 ^{-2}$ and $1.4 \times 10 ^{-2}$ cm $^{2}\, \mathrm {V}^{-1}\, \mathrm {s}^{-1}$ respectively. Under UV illumination there found a shift in threshold voltage and change in ON current along with fast response and recovery time of 0.4 s and 2 s respectively with periodic UV ON-OFF pulses.
