Abstract

Metal-base hot-carrier transistor with conjugated polymer emitter and collector is demonstrated. The device is fabricated by multiple spin coating with the metal base sandwiched between two polymers. A thin insulating layer of LiF is inserted between the emitter and base to enhance the hot carrier kinetic energy and reduce mutual dissolution. Using poly(9-vinylcarbazole) as the emitter, Al as the base, and poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the collector, common-emitter current gain of 25 is obtained with operation voltage as low as 5 V.
