The focus point of this work is to obtain a transparent OFET and to minimize the interface states between gate insulator and gate electrode. Firstly, we have synthesized EDOT functional polystyrene (PS-EDOT) copolymer as gate insulator via "click" chemistry between azide-functional styrene copolymer and propargyl-functionalized EDOT. We used the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) conductive polymer mixture as a suitable alternative gate electrode instead of inorganic contacts, which is a new topic in the organic electronics. The contact resistance value was measured as 1/600 (S/cm)(-1). At the end of the process transparent OFETs with different channel length were fabricated using spin coating method by which poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), novel PS-EDOT copolymer insulator and PEDOT:PSS were coated on prepatterned OFET substrate. Electrical characterizations of OFET devices were held in total darkness and in air ambient in order to achieve output and transfer current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The main parameters such as the threshold voltage (V (Th) ), field effect mobility (mu FET) and current on/off ratio (I (on/off) ) of the devices were extracted from capacitance-frequency (C-f) plot. It was found that fabricated PS-EDOT OFETs exhibit good device performances such as low V (Th) , remarkable mobility, and I (on/off) values.en10.1007/s13233-018-6023-2info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessorganic field-effect transistor (OFET)polymer-matrix composites (PMCs)thin filmselectrical propertiesmobilitysurface treatments"click" chemistrypolystyreneEDOTArticle262164172WOS:000425986300011Q2Q3
