Compared with conventional OFET with only metal AI source/drain electrodes, the introduction of the WO3 buffer layer leads to the device performance enhancement. The effective field-effect mobility and threshold voltage are improved to 1.90 em2/(V.s) and 13 V, respectively. The performance improvements are attributed to the decrease of the interface energy barrier and the contact resistance. The results indicate that it is an effective approach to improve the OFET performance by using a WO3 buffer layer.展开更多
