Field-effect transistors made from macroscopic single crystals of tetracene and related semiconductors on polymer dielectrics

We report properties of devices made by the adhesion of semiconductor crystals, including several tetracene specimens, to polymer gate dielectrics along with measurements of tetracene crystals on conventional Si/SiO2 dielectric surfaces. 

For the best tetracene, pentacene, and alpha-6T devices, mobilities exceeding 0.1 cm2/Vs were measured, correlating well with expectations based on the literature, and in the case of tetracene and alpha- 6T, exceeding the thin film mobility value. The devices were prepared in the open laboratory using simpler crystal handling techniques than had been thought necessary.
