The main purpose of this study is to establish a guideline for controlling the device properties of organic antiambipolar transistors. Our key strategy is to use interface engineering to promote carrier injection at channel/electrode interfaces and carrier accumulation at a channel/dielectric interface. The effective use of carrier injection interlayers and an insulator layer with a high dielectric constant (high-k) enabled the fine tuning of device parameters and, in particular, the onset (Von) and offset (Voff) voltages. A well-matched combination of the interlayers and a high-k dielectric layer achieved a low peak voltage (0.25 V) and a narrow on-state bias range (2.2 V), indicating that organic antiambipolar transistors have high potential as negative differential resistance devices for multivalued logic circuits.
