Özet

This study aimed to improve the electrical characteristics of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and liquid crystal-organic field effect transistors (LC-OFETs) under UV illumination. Consequently, a novel LC-OFET was fabricated using a nematic liquid crystal (E63) and a P3HT mixture in an OFET cell. Cell thickness was determined through field emission scanning electron microscopy. For assessment of the electrical characteristics, the LC-OFET device was exposed to various UV light intensities in total darkness for the purpose of obtaining the output- and transfer-current voltage. The capacitance-frequency plot of the capacitor cell was then measured to determine the main parameters including the threshold voltage (V-Th), field effect mobility ((FET)) and current on/off ratio (I-on/off) of the device. Thus, the full characterisation and UV light response of the electronic parameters were determined for this new class of transistors. Results showed that the new LC-OFET exhibited good performance in the form of low V-Th, high(FET), and high I-on/off.
