We fabricated ZnO-nanowire (NW) field-effect transistors (FETs) coated with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and characterized the electron-transfer characteristics from the P3HT to the ZnO NWs. Under irradiation by laser light with a wavelength of 532 nm, photo-induced electrons were created in the P3HT and then transported to the ZnO NWs, constituting a source-drain current in the initially enhancement-mode P3HT-coated ZnO-NW FETs. As the intensity of the light increased, the current increased, and its threshold voltage shifted to the negative gate-bias direction. We estimated the photo-induced electron density and the electron-transfer characteristics, which will be helpful for understanding organic-inorganic hybrid optoelectronic devices.
