Chemically Robust Ambipolar Organic Transistor Array Directly Patterned by Photolithography

Abstract

3 Organic ambipolar transistor arrays for chemical sensors are prepared on a flexible plastic substrate with a bottom-gate bottom-contact configuration to minimize the damage to the organic semiconductors, for the first time, using a photolithographically patternable polymer semiconductor. Well-balanced ambipolar charge transport is achieved by introducing graphene electrodes because of the reduced contact resistance and energetic barrier for electron transport.
