Scaling behaviors of transient noise current in organic field-effect transistors

Top-contact and bottom-gate organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on poly(3-hexylthiophene), P3HT polymer has been fabricated with thermal treatment condition. Transient noise currents of the OFETs are measured at various source–drain voltages ranging from 0 V to −60 V with respect to a fix...
