In specific embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the source-drain electrode can be 20 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, or 200 nm. By limiting the thickness of the source-drain electrode, the present invention further reduces the transmission distance of electrons in the transistor, thereby improving the response speed.
[0031] The organic field effect transistor gas sensor provided by the present invention further comprises a DA type molecular layer, which is located on the upper surface of one or more layers of the gate electrode, the dielectric layer, the organic semiconductor layer and the source / drain electrode.
[0032] The present invention limits the position of the DA-type molecular layer to ensure that the DA-type molecular layer can more fully contact the gas to be measured, generate a weak interaction force, cause intramolecular charge transfer, change the dipole moment of the DA-type molecules, and change the current flowing through the source and drain electrodes of the organic field-effect transistor, thereby enhancing the response speed and sensitivity of the field-effect transistor.

[0035] As one embodiment of the present invention, the DA-type molecule layer can be located on the upper surface of the dielectric layer and / or the organic semiconductor layer. When the DA-type molecule layer is located on the upper surface of the dielectric layer, the DA-type molecules directly contact the harmful gas, resulting in a change in dipole moment due to weak interaction forces, intramolecular charge transfer, and enhanced current response of the semiconductor layer. When the DA-type molecule layer is located on the upper surface of the organic semiconductor layer, the harmful gas molecules pass through the semiconductor layer and interact with the DA-type molecules, generating intramolecular charge transfer, modulating the carrier transport channel, and improving the sensing response.

[0043] The present invention utilizes the weak interaction force generated when the DA-type molecular layer contacts harmful gases, thereby causing intramolecular charge transfer, changing the dipole moment of the DA-type molecules, and causing the current flowing through the source and drain electrodes of the organic field-effect transistor to change, thereby enhancing the response speed and sensitivity of the field-effect transistor.
