Improvement of Photoresponse in Organic Phototransistors through Bulk Effect of Photoresponsive Gate Insulators.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigate the bulk effect of photoresponsive gate insulators on the photoresponse of organic phototransistors (OPTs), using OPTs with poly(4-vinylphenol) layers of two different thicknesses. For the photoresponse, the interplay between the charge accumulation (capacitance) and light-absorbance capabilities of a photoresponsive gate insulator was investigated. Although an OPT with a thicker gate insulator exhibits a lower capacitance and hence a lower accumulation capability of photogenerating charges, a thicker poly(4-vinylphenol) layer, in contrast to a thinner one, absorbs more photons to generate more electron-hole pairs, resulting in a higher photoresponse of the device. That is, in these two cases, the degree of light absorption by the photoresponsive gate insulato
