Abstract

We demonstrate that the electrostatic polarization of an organic semiconductor (OSC) by a gate dielectric with stored charges and electric fields enables the realization of both threshold voltage tuning and inversion process control of OSC thin-film field-effect transistors (OFETs). As a result, OFETs based on typically unipolar n-channel copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine semiconductor thin films, deposited on a silicon dioxide quasipermanent charged electret as a gate insulator, show unipolar p-channel “inversion” operation in ambient air and form complementary monolithic, single-semiconductor inverter circuits. The field produced by patterned, grid-controlled negative corona charging and subsequent thermal annealing (before semiconductor deposition) electrostatically induces sufficient positive charges to provide significant hole mobility, ca. 0.011cm2V−1s−1, in response to moderate additional negative gate voltages.
