摘要
We report on an effective method to minimize the leakage current in an organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) by using a polymeric gate insulator, poly(vinyl phenol) (PVP). When the molecular weight (M-w) of the PVP varies, only the leakage current is affected under constant remaining electrical parameters. More importantly, through a binary mixing between two different M-w, it is found that the leakage current can be minimized. This is attributed to a reduction of the free volume in the blended PVP layer, leading to a more vigorous cross-linking reaction, as compared to a single molecular weight PVP. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
