Abstract

We report the fabrication and electrical properties of pentacene-based ferroelectric organic field-effect transistors (FeOFETs) with ultrathin poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] gate insulators. A ultrathin and uniform P(VDF-TrFE) film was successfully deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition with well-defined ferroelectric microdomains at the interface between P(VDF-TrFE) films and pentacene active layers. The P(VDF-TrFE) films derived by LB deposition significantly enhance the crystallization of the upper pentacene channel films and thus the performance of our FeOFETs. Our FeOFET device achieves a threshold voltage shift of 8.56 V induced by ferroelectric polarization under different voltage sweeping directions and such enhancement indicates a great potential for future organic nonvolatile memory applications.
