By using organic semiconductor CuPc as photosensitive materials, we prepared an organic thin film transistor with the vertical structure consisted of metal Cu/ organic semiconductor CuPc/ Al/ organic semiconductor CuPc/ indium tin oxide ITO. CuPc semiconductor material has good photosensitive properties in the 700 nm light. When the light signal irradiates organic semiconductor photosensitive material, the electron-hole exciton is separated into photocurrent in built-in electric field produced by organic semiconductor material/ metal schottky contact. It transforms into the driving current of organic photoelectric triode. By using its current amplification effect, the output current increase obviously. The test result shows that the I-V characteristics of the transistor are obvious unsaturated triode characteristics. When using 700 nm light to irradiate the device, the working current of the device increases obviously.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) gas sensors based on pentacene active layer and low cost poly (merthyl methacrylate) (PMMA) insulator were fabricated with a structure of bottom contact organic thin-film transistor (OTFT). The OTFT sensor not only presented a remarkable response characteristic in the absence and the presence of HCHO gas with different concentrations, but also exhibited a good repeatability for sensing the HCHO gas. Meanwhile, compared to the device operated in nitrogen circumstance, obvious changes in saturation drain-source current (IDS) and off-state current were observed when the device exposed to HCHO gas. Also the device performance and sensing mechanisms were discussed.

AbstractOrganic thin film transistor (OTFT) gas sensors fabricated with an array of different active materials are monitored for shifts in performance characteristics during continuous operation over many days in both inert and ambient environments. We analyze the different patterns of degradation behavior observed in different materials and discuss approaches to decoupling a device's sensor response from its stress response.
