We report here the synthesis and dielectric properties of polymetalloxane dielectric materials for organic field-effect transistor applications. The gate insulators were obtained from polymetalloxanes by condensation polymerization of metal chelates and silicic acid. The solution shows an appreciable stability to self-condensation and a good coating quality. A high dielectric constant 6.16-8.27 was obtained for the prepared films. Organic thin film transistors with this gate dielectric were found to exhibit high performances, including carrier mobility as large as 1.77 cm2/Vs, on-off current ratios above 1×104, threshold voltages below -0.13 V, and subthreshold swing as low as 0.1 V/decade. In addition, the operating voltage ranges as low as 5 volts was obtained.
