18. The regioregularity of polythiophene is not essential for the observation of the bipolar behavior. A random copolymer of poly(thiophene-3-propionic acid, ammonium salt) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) also showed similar bipolar behavior.
19. It should be noted that increase of mobility by doping has been observed by Brown and co-workers [see A. R. Brown, D. M. Deleeuw, E. E. Havinga, and A. Pomp, Synth. Met. 68, 65 (1994); C. P. Jarrett, R. H. Friend, A. R. Brown, and D. M. Deleeuw, J. Appl. Phys. 77, 6289 (1995)]. A universal relationship between doping concentration and field-effect mobility was proposed. The on/off ratio of TFT suffers and eventually decreases to unity with increasing chemical doping concentration. On/off ratios between 10 to 50 are routinely obtained with our materials, and we proposed that gate-assisted electrochemical doping probably occur in our TFT configurations.

23. Other microelectrochemical devices have been reported previously (see Ref. 11), in which the entire active polymer was electrochemically doped in presence of an electrolyte. Ions were brought into the polymer matrix during the doping process and it is intrinsically a very slow process.
