Low-Voltage Organic Thin-Film Transistors with Improved Stability and Large Transconductance

Pentacene is among the most popular organic semiconductors for organic thin-film transistors (TFTs), due to its relatively large carrier mobility. However, the stability of pentacene TFTs under continuous dynamic operation may be insufficient for future applications. Here we compare the static and dynamic performance and the operational stability of low-voltage organic TFTs based on pentacene and a recently synthesized organic semiconductor, di(phenylvinyl)anthracene (DPVAnt).
