Abstract: In order to reveal the field effect of silk fibroin and organic semiconductor polymer (PEDOT∶PSS) composite film asan active layer, the thin film with uniform thickness and good surface smoothness based transistor was fabricated onto heavily doped silicon dioxide by spin-coating method. The potential in semiconductor application of this biocompatible degradable material was investigated. The conformational evolution of silk fibroin and PEDOT∶PSS composite film was analyzed by XRD, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The output and transfer characteristic curves of the device were analyzed and studied. The ratio of the switching current is about 3, the threshold voltage is 20 V, and the field-effect mobility is about 7.9 cm2/(V·s). The experimental results show that the composite material prepared by an appropriate process by mixing PEDOT∶PSS to silk fibroin can still retain the excellent electronic properties of organic semiconductors. It is proved that doping in biological materials is an effective method to prepare functionalized biocomposites for broadening its applications.
