Abstract

A thin-layer field-effect transistor (TFT) with an MIS structure includes a thin semiconductor layer between a source and a drain. The thin semiconductor layer is in contact with one surface of a thin layer made of insulating material, and in contact by its other surface with a conducting grid. The semiconductor is composed of at least one polyconjugated organic compound with a specific molecular weight. The polyconjugated organic compound or polyconjugated organic compounds contain at least 8 conjugated bonds and have a molecular weight of no greater than approximately 2,000. The thin layer of insulating material is made of an insulating organic polymer having a dielectric constant of at least equal to 5. The transistor is useful as a switching or amplifying element.
