The performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with high-k cross-linked cyanoethylated pullulan (CLCEP) polymer as a gate dielectric was studied. The optimized film spin-coated from the polymer blend showed high dielectric constant (13.4), high capacitance (53.4 nF cm(-2), at 1 MHz), and negligible hysteresis enabling reliable and low-voltage OFET operations (-3V). With optimized cross-linking temperature, a field-effect mobility of 1.32 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), an on/off current ratio (Ion/Ioff) of similar to 10(5) and a threshold voltage (V-th) as low as -1.05 V were obtained. Also a low inverse subthreshold slope (SS) of 89 mV dec(-1) was obtained which is close to the theoretical value of 57 mV dec(-1) at room temperature. The number of trap states was estimated from threshold voltage shift and SS values, and was confirmed to be related to the OH intensities measured via FT-IR. The morphology and microstructure of the pentacene layer grown on CLCEP dielectrics were also investigated and correlated with OFET device performance.
