Abstract
This study takes a unique approach by investigating the influence of various parameters on charge transport processes in
Organic Field Effect Transistor (OFET) models. These parameters include field-effect mobility, disorder, trap existence,
threshold voltage, and current ON/OFF ratio. The study utilizes two-dimensional finite element-based device models to
explore top-contact OFETs with uniform and unequal mobility zones. Several calibrated simulation standards are developed
to replicate the morphological disorder in structure, such as considering variable low mobility zones surrounding contacts.
The study also examines the effects of varying the channel length from 10 µm to 50 µm on OFF current, ON current,
threshold voltage, and current ON/OFF ratio. Notably, the device's Subthreshold slope remains constant for changes in
channel length at 68.87 meV/dec. The current ratio decreases with the increase in work function. The sensitivity of both
OFF and ON current increases with a change in work function, reaching a maximum value of 705.09 & 0.080 for a 200 meV
change at 50 µm channel length.
