Abstract;Poly(3-hexylthiophene) field-effect transistors (P3HT-FETs) have been prepared by an electric-field casting method. P3HT was cast onto a substrate with source and drain electrodes in nitrogen atmosphere saturated with CHCl3 vapor. An electric-field was applied between the electrodes during film formation. Thermal treatment and electric-field application were performed after film formation to control the device parameters. The threshold voltage (Vth) of P3HT-FETs without electric-field application during film formation was almost invariable after the thermal treatment. On the other hand, the Vth of P3HT-FETs formed with electric-field application can be controlled using thermal treatment. The device parameters can also be controlled by a post-electric-field application. These variations are a result of the doping or dedoping of O2. Two types of inverter showing different inversion points were fabricated using such controlled P3HT-FETs. (author abst.)
