Abstract

We demonstrate an exceptional radiation hardness of thin films of pristine fullerene C₆₀ and its organic derivative phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM) in lateral resistor and field-effect transistor device geometries under exposure to ultra-high doses of ⁶⁰Co gamma rays approaching 5–8 MGy (5–8 MRad). The obtained results exhibit the great promise of organic semiconductors for the development of radiation-hard electronics for outer space exploration and other extreme environments.
