Organic Field Effect Transistors (OFETs)
The measurement of output and transfert caracteristics of organic field effect transistors is carried out under inert atmosphere. Several configurations are available (Fig. 1):
- bottom contact/top gate (a)
- bottom contact/bottom gate (b)
- top contact/bottom gate (c)
Fig. 1: Different configurations available for the OFETs
The dimensions of the channel of the transistor are variable and depend on the chosen configuration. The channel is made either of a single compound (electron donor or acceptor) of the active layer of a photovoltaic cell (Fig. 2), or of a blend of electron donor and acceptor. Transfer characteristics are measured with a Keithley 4200 SCS system (Fig. 3). They allow the estimation of the mobility of charge carriers by using the usual OFET's formalism.

OFETs have various applications, and chemical sensors are one of them.
Space Charge Limited Current (SCLC) devices
The measurement of I(V) characteristics of a diode with a single type of carriers allows the estimation of the mobility of charge carriers if the current is limited by the space charge. Thus, a SCLC device is a semiconducting layer sandwiched between two electrodes whose extracting work is chosen to inject only electrons or only holes. The choice of these electrodes depends on the boundary energy levels of the organic semiconductor under study (Fig. 4). Devices of several thicknesses are necessary to ensure that the current is effectively limited by the space charge and not by carrier injection (same dependence: I proportional to V2 in in both cases). I(V) measurements (Fig. 5) are done under controlled atmosphere and the thickness of the active layer is ascertained by profilometry.
