Ferroelectric Wide-Bandgap Metal Halide Perovskite Field-Effect Transistors: Toward Transparent Electronics.

ABSTRACT: Transparent field-effect transistors (FETs) are attacking intensive interest for constructing fancy "invisible" electronic products. Presently, the main technology for realizing transparent FETs is based on metal oxide semiconductors, which have wide-bandgap but generally demand sputtering technique or high-temperature (>350 °C) solution process for fabrication. Herein, a general device fabrication strategy for metal halide perovskite (MHP) FETs is shown, by which transparent perovskite FETs are successfully obtained using low-temperature (<150 °C) solution process. This strategy involves the employment of ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) as the dielectric, which conquers the challenging issue of gate-electric-field screening effect in MHP FETs. Additionally, an ultra-thin SnO₂ is inserted between the source/drain electrodes and MHPs to facilitate electron injection. Consequently, n-type semi-transparent MAPbBr₃ FETs and fully transparent MAPbCl₃ FETs which can operate well at room temperature with mobility over 10^-3  cm²  V^-1  s^-1 and on/off ratio >10³ are achieved for the first time. The low-temperature solution processability of these FETs makes them particularly attractive for applications in low-cost, large-area transparent electronics.
