Abstract

This paper reports the electrical characteristics of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPy) and the performance of organic thin-film transistors with PVPy as a gate insulator. PVPy shows a dielectric constant of about 3 and contributes to the upright growth of pentacene molecules with 15.3${\AA}$ interplanar spacing. These results will be discussed.
