Flexible picene thin film field-effect transistors have been fabricated using a gate dielectric from poly(tetra-lluoro-/7-xylylene) on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrate [39]. These field-effect transistors show /I-channel output/transfer characteristics. A sensing effect for oxygen is observed. The hysteresis in the transfer curves is negligible. The parylene gate can eliminate a reduction in the drain current.
