Despite important progress in the field of the thin flexible transistor (TFT)-based electronics, a major challenge still exist for organic TFTs to decrease the operating voltage, which is related to the properties of the dielectric and semiconductor layers from the OTFTs structure. In this paper, we present the electrical behavior of two biocompatible polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP 360) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), regarding the application as insulating layer in thin-film transistors.  The PVA and PVP 360 thin films were deposited onto epoxy resin copper double-sided layer and polyethylene tere-phthalate/Indium tin oxide (PET/ITO) substrates by sol-gel method, spin-coating technique. Two sol concentrations (1 and 5 wt. %) were prepared and the contact angle onto the used substrates was measured using a digital microscope camera. The obtained films have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dielectrical behaviour. For electrical measurements, the metal-insulating-metal (MIM) structure was realized by cooper electrodes deposition at room temperature, onto the top of thin films, by magnetron sputtering method. The current (I) - applied voltage (from -5 to +5 V) curves were measured in air at room temperature (RT), using the Picoammeter homemade device. PVA and PVP 360 thin films showed low leakage currents with values within  2 nA for 5 V range.
