Origin of Electric Field Dependence of the Charge Mobility and Spatial Energy Correlations in C60-Based Field Effect Transistors
We report on the influence of the lateral electric field on the charge mobility in organic field-effect transistors (OFET) based on C-60 films with multigrain morphology. The experimental data were quantitatively described using a recent analytical model by accounting for the strong local electric fields in a multigrain transistor channel and for the energy correlation effects. To rationalize the presence of a correlated disorder in a non-polar C-60 material, we show that randomly oriented permanent dipoles in organic gate dielectric layers can generate a significant dipolar disorder in an adjacent nonpolar semiconductor layer.
