Abstract(in English) We have been studying the application of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) to a new class of THz sensors by small band-edge fluctuation in OFETs, of which amplitude corresponds to THz photons. Since the wavelength of THz wave and the size of each part of the OFETs are comparable, electric-field distribution in the organic layer possibly exhibits significant frequency dependence. In this work, we, therefore, attempted to estimate the electric-field distribution in the OFET by electromagnetic-field simulation using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. First, the complex dielectric functions of the materials used in this work were measured. Then, the propagation of THz wave was analyzed using the dielectric constants obtained and two types of polarization directions. As a result, the average electric-field strength in the organic layer was found to depend on the frequency of THz-wave and also on the polarization direction. These frequency dependences qualitatively agreed with the modulation absorption spectra of gate-electric-field-induced carriers in an OFET.
