Abstract

Bottom-gated, top-contact organic field effect transistors (OFET) based nitrogen oxide (NO₂) gas sensors were fabricated by incorporating a hybrid organic semiconducting (OSC) layer, which consisting of 6, 13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-pentacene) and Graphene Oxide (GO). By carefully optimizing the proportion of GO in the OSC layer, a tremendous improvement of sensing performance was obtained when exposed to NO₂ analyte. Compared with OFET devices based on pure TIPS-pentacene OSC layer, the sensitivity of OFET sensors with hybrid OSC layer had a tenfold enhancement. By analyzing the semiconducting layer through utilizing X-ray diffraction (XPS) and atomic force microscope (AFM), the enhanced sensing performance was attributed to the absorption of the NO₂ gas molecules through a porous OSC layer and a preferable interaction between functional groups on the edge of GO sheets and NO₂ gas molecules. The improved sensing performance by the hybrid OSC layer also suggests the possibility of GO for the further application in high performance OFET based gas sensors.
