Abstract
We report the effect of light incident on a polymer-based field-effect transistor and demonstrate the utility of light as an additional controlling parameter of the transistor state. The transistor exhibits large photosensitivity indicated by the sizable changes in the drain–source current at low levels of light. The response here is considerably higher than that from existing organic/polymeric planar, two-terminal photodetectors due to an additional process contributing to the enhancement. The light-responsive polymer transistor opens up a device-architecture concept for polymer-based electronics.Keywords
