The performance parameters of OPTs, including photosensitivity( P ) and photoresponsivity( R ), are closely related to the contact between source/drain electrodes and the active layer. In this paper, a single layer of pentacene and CuPc based OPT with Au and Al electrodes were prepared by vacuum evaporation respectively. Their output and transfer characteristics in dark and under illumination were studied. The results showed that Au electrodes were more suitable for high mobility pentacene active layer with better contact characteristics. The pentacene-based OPT with Au electrodes gained the same level of P as that with Al electrodes at around 310 4 , but the R of the former was 13 times higher than that of the latter. While for low mobility CuPc-based OPT, Schottky contact was formed between the Al electrode and the active layer, which was beneficial for suppressing dark current, enhancing exciton dissociation efficiency and improving photocurrent. Furthermore, the CuPc-based OPT with Al electrode obtained the same order of magnitude R as the device with Au electrode, but the P of the former was 10 2 times higher than the latter. The energy band variations of the electrodes/active layer Schottky contacts under illumination were discussed in this paper. And the preliminary screening rules of the electrode materials and active layer materials for OPTs were summarized. 有机光敏晶体管 光灵敏度 光响应度 肖特基接触 organic phototransistor photosensitivity photoresponsivity Schottky contact LI J,SHI W,SHU L F,et al..
