Recent Efforts in Understanding and Improving the Nonideal Behaviors of Organic Field‐Effect Transistors

Abstract Over the past three decades, the mobility of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) has been improved from 10−5 up to over 10 cm2 V−1 s−1, which reaches or has already satisfied the requirements of demanding applications. However, pronounced nonideal behaviors in current–voltage character...
