We present the integration of a natural protein into electronic and optoelectronic devices by using silk fibroin as a thin film dielectric in an organic thin film field-effect transistor (OFET) ad an organic light emitting transistor device (OLET) structures. Both n- (perylene) and p-type (thiophene) silk-based OFETs are demonstrated. The measured electrical characteristics are in agreement with high-efficiency standard organic transistors, namely charge mobility of the order of 10-2 cm2/V s and on/off ratio of 104. The silk-based optoelectronic element is an advanced unipolar n-type OLET that yields a light emission of 100 nW. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
