Organic transistors

A polarized response

Nature Materials volume 5, pages 929–930 (2006)Cite this article

The material used for the dielectric layer in organic field-effect transistors strongly affects the efficiencies of the resulting devices. The reasons behind this connection, and opportunities to tune the device performance by changing the dielectric material, are now revealed.
