Solution-gated organic field effect transistors (SGOFETs) are promising devices for biosensing applications featuring, amongst others, low production costs. For the organic semiconductor, two different kinds of materials are typically used, namely polymers like poly(2,5-bis(3-hexadecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (pBTTT) and small molecules like α-sexithiophene (6T). In this work, we have investigated devices of both types regarding their performance, stability, and pH and ion sensitivity. A comparison of the two approaches is presented, taking also into account the differences in processing: While polymers can be spin-coated onto the substrate, small molecules are grown using organic molecular beam deposition. Finally, we will discuss the potential of SGOFETs as light sensors to stimulate nerve cells, which can pave the way towards the development of a new generation of retinal implants.
