We investigate the photoconductive and photovoltaic effects in organic thin-film transistors with thin hybrid dielectrics composed of aluminum oxide and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). By using SAM molecules with an electro-optical functionality tuning of the photoinduced charge transfer at the interface of semiconductor and SAM upon illumination with laser light can be achieved. Control of the threshold voltage by the SAM composition enables the optical operation of the transistors without applying a gate voltage and affects the dynamics of photoinduced charge transfer.
