Description: Systematic studies have been conducted on the electrical characteristics of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). The OTFTs have been characterized at low-operating voltages and deductions have been made regarding the current modulation mechanisms involved. Irreproducibility of transfer characteristics in these devices beyond a certain gate voltage, as well as a slow time-dependant component to drain current at certain gate voltages, indicates electrochemical changes occurring in the device during operation. It is hoped that this work can help to improve the understanding of OTFTs of this type and, in turn, their performance in the future.
