  • Abstract
    We describe the effects of both electrical stress and environmental exposure on polythiophene TFTs.The physical mechanisms of the bias stress effects, and whether they are intrinsic to the polymer semiconductor, will be discussed. We propose that molecular impurities cause an increase the local disorder and provide localized states that modify the electrical transport.
