Abstract
We have studied the carrier transport in poly(2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2- b ]thiophene) field-effect transistors (FETs) at very high field-induced carrier densities (10 15 cm −2 ) using a polymer electrolyte as gate and gate dielectric. At room temperature, we find high current densities, 2 × 10 6 A/cm 2 , and high metallic conductivities, 10 4 S/cm, in the FET channel; at 4.2 K, the current density is sustained at 10 7 A/cm 2 . Thus, metallic conductivity persists to low temperatures. The carrier mobility in these devices is ≈3.5 cm 2 ·V −1 ·s −1 at 297 K, comparable with that found in fully crystalline organic devices.
