Abstract

We report the fabrication of air-stable, transparent flexible ambipolar organic thin film transistors based on CuPc and F16CuPc bi-channel films deposited under 10−1 Pa, by using graphene gate electrode, fluoropolymer Cytop dielectric layer, and Au source/drain electrodes on polyethylene terephthalate substrates. The devices show outstanding air-stability and high optical transparency of above 75% with electron and hole mobilities up to 0.031 and 0.029 cm2/V·s, respectively. The excellent ambipolar performance, along with the outstanding air-stability and high optical transparency, make CuPc-F16CuPc bi-channel transistors as a promising candidate for organic integrated circuits.
