Abstract

An increasing range of high-K dielectric is becoming available and it is very worth considering incorporating them into polymer TFTs. One of the benefits is that if metal gates are used then aqueous anodisation provides a very simple approach that is compatible with solution based processing. The details of this process are described. High-K dielectrics reduce threshold voltage and, therefore, increase switching speed. Of particular importance is the problem of bias instability. All the results involve the fractionation and controlled doping of poly-3-hexylthiophene.
