In the present work, bottom-gate top-contact organic field effect transistors (OFETs) were fabricated by evaporating a pentacene semiconductor film on top of a new insulating poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) copolymer containing methacrylate units. The PMMA copolymer was synthesized in order to combine the well-known insulating properties of PMMA with the possibility to be efficiently photocured enabling photopatterning-based organic circuitry integration processes. The properties of the pentacene layer deposited on ITO/PMMA copolymer stack were studied through morphological and structural analyses. Device photoresponses and photoexcitated transients were investigated and compared to reference devices based on standard PMMA gate dielectric.
