TLDR
In this article, the authors describe and discuss the unique electrical characteristics of an organic field effect transistor in which the active layer consists of a type II lateral heterojunction located approximately midway between the source and drain, which leads to devices that operate in only the steady state when there is balanced electron and hole injections from the drain and source.
Abstract
We describe and discuss the unique electrical characteristics of an organic field-effect transistor in which the active layer consists of a type II lateral heterojunction located approximately midway between the source and drain. The two active semiconductors on either side of the junction transport only one carrier type each, with the other becoming trapped, which leads to devices that operate in only the steady state when there is balanced electron and hole injections from the drain and source. We describe the unique transfer characteristics of such devices in two material systems.

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.
