Abstract
A systematic study of the hole mobility in hole-only diodes and field-effect transistors based on poly2-methoxy-5-(-dimethyloctyloxy)--phenylene vinylene and on amorphous poly(3-hexyl thiophene) has been performed as a function of temperature and applied bias. The experimental hole mobilities extracted from both types of devices, although based on a single polymeric semiconductor, can differ by 3 orders of magnitude. We demonstrate that this apparent discrepancy originates from the strong dependence of the hole mobility on the charge carrier density in disordered semiconducting polymers.
