By introducing an organic interlayer on the Parylene C dielectric surface, the electrical device performances and the operating stabilities of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were improved. To achieve this goal, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS), as the organic interlayer materials, were used to control the surface energy of the Parylene C dielectrics. For the bare case used with the pristine Parylene C dielectrics, the field-effect mobility (μ_FET) and threshold voltage (V_th) of dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f ]thieno[3,2-b]- thiophene (DNTT) FET devices were measured at 0.12 cm²V^-1s^-1 and - 5.23 V, respectively. On the other hand, the OFET devices with HMDS- and ODTS-modified cases showed the improved μ_FET values of 0.32 and 0.34 cm²V^-1s^-1, respectively. More important point is that the μ_FET and V_th of the DNTT FET device with the ODTS-modified Parylene C dielectric presented the smallest changes during a repeated measurement of 1000 times, implying that it has the most stable operating stability. The results could be meaned that the organic interlayer, especially ODTS, effectively covers the Parylene C dielectric surface with alkyl chains and reduces the charge trapping at the interface region between active layer and dielectric, thereby improving the electrical operating stability.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are of interest for use in widely area electronic applications. We fabricated a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) based field-effect transistor with different metal electrode. The CuPc FET device was made a top-contact type and the substrate temperature was room temperature. The source and drain electrodes were used an Au and Al materials. The CuPc thickness was 40nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3mm. We observed a typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in CuPc FET with different electrode materials.

New $\pi$-conjugated multi-branched molecules were synthesized through the Homer-Emmons reaction using alkyl-substituted, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-based, thiophenyl aldehydes and octaethyl benzene-l,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(methylene) tetraphosphonate as the core unit; these molecules have all been fully characterized. The two multi-branched conjugated molecules exhibited excellent solubility in common organic solvents and good self-film forming properties. The semiconducting properties of these multi-branched molecules were also evaluated in organic field-effect transistors (OFET). With octyltrichlorosilane (OTS) treatment of the surface of the $SiO_2$ gate insulator, two of the crystalline conjugated molecules, 7 and 8, exhibited carrier mobilities as high as $2.4({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{-3}$ and $1.3({\pm}0.5){\times}10^{-3}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively. The mobility enhancement of OFET by light irradiation ($\lambda$ = 436 nm) supported the promising photo-controlled switching behavior for the drain current of the device.

Low-temperature curable organic insulator was prepared through blending of polyimide type base resin and cross-linking agent. The newly developed resin can be formed into films using a wet process and cured at $130^{\circ}C$. Using the low temperature cured film as the gate dielectric layer, the field effect mobility of $0.15\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ was obtained from a pentacene field effect transistor in the saturation regime and no hysteresis behavior was observed in transfer curves.

Organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memory is an emerging device for its potential to realize light-weight, low cost flexible charge storage media. Here we report on a solution-processed poly[9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl]-co-(bithiophene)] (F8T2) nano floating-gate memory (NFGM) with top-gate/bottom-contact device configuration. A reversible shift in the threshold voltage ($V_{Th}$) and the reliable memory characteristics were achieved by incorporation of thin Au nanoparticles (NPs) as charge storage sites for negative electrons at the interface between polystyrene and cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol).

We characterized the n-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with non-conjugated polyelectrolytes (NPEs) interlayers as the electron injection layer. Novel NPEs with various ions (Cl-, Br-, I-) improved the electron mobility from $5.06{\times}10^{-3}$ to $2.10{\times}10^{-2}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ in OFETs based [6,6]-Phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) when $PEIEH^+I^-$ spin-cast from 0.6% solution was deposited onto the PCBM layer. Reduced electron injection barrier (${\phi}_e$) at NPE/metal electrode interface was induced by dipole formation and led to increase the electron injection and transport. These findings are important for understanding how NPEs function in devices, the improvement of device performance, and the design of new materials for use in optoelectronic devices.

Air stable n-type organic field effect transistors (OFETs) based on CB60B are realized using a perfluoropolymer as the gate dielectric layer. The devices showed the field-effect mobility of $0.05\;cm^2P/V\;s$ in ambient air. Replacing the gate dielectric material by $SiO_2$ resulted in no transistor action in ambient air. Perfluorinated gate dielectric layer reduces interface traps significantly for the n-type semiconductor even in ambient air.

We fabricated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based a fluorinated copper phthalocyanine ($F_{16}CuPc$) as an active layer. And we observed the surface morphology of the $F_{16}CuPc$ thin film. The $F_{16}CuPc$ thin film thickness was 40nm, and the channel length was $50{\mu}m$, channel width was 3mm. We observed the typical current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and capacitance-voltage (C-V) in $F_{16}CuPc$ FET and we calculated the effective mobility.
