Progresses in organic field-effect transistors and molecular electronics

Abstract

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent AbstractIn the past years, organic semiconductors have been extensively investigated as electronic materials for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In this review, we briefly summarize the current status of organic field-effect transistors including materials design, device physics, molecular electronics and the applications of carbon nanotubes in molecular electronics. Future prospects and investigations required to improve the OFET performance are also involved.

“…Organic semiconductors have attracted much attention in the last decade due to their mechanical flexibility [1] and low-cost production [2,3]. They are nowadays used in a wide variety of devices such as organic solar cells (OSCs) [4][5][6], organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) [7], and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) [8,9] etc. The intermolecular forces in organic semiconductors are Van der Waals forces [10], so there exists no broad valence band or conduction band.…”
