Abstract

Conjugated polymers came to an unprecedented epoch that the charge transport is limited only by small disorder within aggregated domains. Accurate evaluation of transport performance is thus vital to optimizing further molecule design. Yet the conventional transistors routinely used cannot fulfill such a requirement. Here we show that the extrinsic effects of Schottky barrier, access transport through semiconductor bulk, and concurrent ambipolar conduction seriously influence device characteristics and, in turn, transport analysis. By contrast, planar transistors made by a process similar to that for classical Si MOSFETs exhibit unparalleled performance, with a record subthreshold swing of 85 mV/dec which is approaching the theoretical limit of 60 mV/dec at room temperature. Their ideal device characteristics enable us to illuminate the ambiguous operating principle of ambipolar transistors in which both of holes and electrons present simultaneously. More importantly, these planar transistors incorporating ohmic contacts and free of access transport and ambipolar conduction provide a great access to exploring the intrinsic charge transport in the promising donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymer semiconductors. It turns out that only those operating in low-field regime are reliable to reveal the intrinsic transport owing to energetic disorder lowering by lateral field.
