Field effect transistors based on organic molecules (OFETs)

Abstract

Organic devices offer characteristics potentially useful for electronic applications, such as low-cost, large area coverage, structural and chemical flexibility and bio-compatibility. In the last few years the progress in the fabrication of organic devices has grown enormously, especially in the fabrication of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), where charge carrier mobilities of the same order as amorphous silicon are currently achieved. This review gives a general description of the OFETs device operation and introduces the reader to the current standing in the area of OFETs focusing on the new solution-processed small conjugated molecules that have been recently reported.
