ABSTRACT:
Provided is an organic thin film transistor comprising a polymeric layer interposed between a gate dielectric and an organic semiconductor layer. Various homopolymers, copolymers, and functional copolymers are taught for use in the polymeric layer. An integrated circuit comprising a multiplicity of thin film transistors and methods of making a thin film transistor are also provided. The organic thin film transistors of the invention typically exhibit improvement in one or more transistor properties.
