Organic Field Effect Transistors (OFETs), while showing a lot of promise, currently suffer from a number of limitations. Organic doping can help to overcome these limitations. It opens up a number of new possibilities by offering a way to define majority charge carriers, control the charge carrier density, threshold voltage etc. precisely and produce devices with better performance, stability, and reproducibility. The doping techniques explored in OFETs thus far have been in the range of a few wt.%, which has limited the use of doping to contact doping or a thin doped layer at the gate dielectric interface. Furthermore, the high doping concentrations used place serious limitations on the doping efficiency that can be achieved. Here we demonstrate the successful use of low doping in the 100ppm range throughout the bulk of the organic semiconductor layer of an OFET with the use of a rotating shutter.
Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have found a wide range of uses due to their attractive properties. A great deal of effort has been expended on boosting their mobilities, which tend to be low. Given this, accurate estimation of the mobility is crucial. We have developed a web application that automates or simplifies several of the steps required to estimate the mobility from experimental data. The app can be accessed at ofetanalysisapp.shinyapps.io/ofetanalysisapp. The app takes as inputs a file with the data and pieces of information like the number of OFETs and their channel lengths. The app has features that enable the user to mark OFETs as outliers, which are excluded from subsequent calculations. It fits nonlinear regression models to compute estimates of the mobility as well as the threshold voltage. The app provides several visualizations that give the user insight into the nature of the data. The estimates computed by the app can be downloaded in an Excel file so the user can perform further analysis. The use of the app is illustrated with a dataset from one of our OFET experiments.
