We have incorporated the gate potential and the Coulomb interaction potential between charge carriers in studies of the transport behavior of a field-effect-transistor device based on a conjugated polymer as electroactive material. The basic transport process is described by the Miller-Abrahams type of hopping rate, and the Monte Carlo approach is used to calculate the charge carrier distribution in the conducing channel as well as the mobilities of the carriers as a function of source-drain electric field, temperature, and carrier concentration. The simulations show that the charge carriers are confined to a conducting channel with thickness of about 5-6 nm. With a Gaussian energetic disorder of 0.14 eV, typical for materials of this type, the transport is nondispersive with a Gaussian distribution in the distance traveled by the carriers. The mobility is enhanced in the conducting channel as compared to a true bulk transport process, and the logarithm of the mobility is shown to increase linearly with source-drain electric field and inverse temperature.
