Contact Resistance Effects in Highly Doped Organic Electrochemical Transistors.

Injection at the source contact critically determines the behavior of depletion-type organic electrochemical transistors (OETs). The contact resistance of OETs increases exponentially with the gate voltage and strongly influences the modulation of the drain current by the gate voltage over a wide voltage range. A modified standard model accounting contact resistance can explain the particular shape of the transconductance.
