Natural dielectrics for organic field effect transistors: a study on resins derived from larch, spruce and Atlas...

Three Pinaceae resins originating from trees of high industrial significance-European larch, European spruce, and Atlas cedar-were examined in this work. These resins exhibited ease of processing using ethyl alcohol solutions, exceptional film formation, and great dielectric qualities with measured breakdown fields in the range of 5-7.3 MV cm^-1. Because their film surface was essentially trap-free, it was possible to fabricate organic field effect transistors that are hysteresis-free and have outstanding stability under 12-hour bias stress at working voltages below 10 V, with current retention approaching 90% of the original value and transfer curve recovery occurring within 90 minutes. These environmentally friendly materials, which are freely available, are a great option for applications aiming to produce sustainable electronics.
