In recent years, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives have been used as semiconducting materials for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In this review, we summarize the recent progress in the field of TTF-based OFETs. We introduce the structure and operation of OFETs, and focus on TTF derivatives used in OFETs. TTF derivatives used in OFETs can be divided into three parts by the semiconductor's morphology and the device fabrication technique: (1) TTF derivatives used for single-crystal OFETs, (2) TTF derivatives used for vacuum-deposited thin-film OFETs, and (3) TTF derivatives used for solution-processed thin-film OFETs. The single-crystal OFETs based on TTF derivatives were fabricated by drop-casting method and showed high performance, with the mobility up to 1.4 cm2/Vs. The vacuum-deposited thin-film OFETs based on TTF derivatives were well developed, some of which have shown high performance comparable to that of amorphous silicon, with good air-stability. Although the mobilities of most solution-processed OFETs based on TTF derivatives are limited at 10-2 cm2/Vs, the study on solution-processable TTF derivatives and their devices are promising, because of their low-cost, large-area-coverage virtues. The use of organic charge-transfer (OCT) compounds containing TTF or its derivatives in OFETs is also included in this review.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are “soft material” versions of accumulationmode silicon-based FETs, where a gate field across a dielectric induces a conductive charge channel at the interface of the dielectric with a semiconductor, between source and drain electrodes. Charge carrier mobilities >0.01 and on/off ratios >10,000 are routinely obtained, adequate for a few specialized applications such as electrophoretic pixel switches but well below standards established for silicon microprocessor technology. Still, progress that has been made in solution-phase semiconductor deposition and the printing of contacts and dielectrics stimulates the development of OFET circuits for situations where extreme low cost, large area, and mechanical flexibility are important. Circuits with hundreds of OFETs have been demonstrated and a prototype OFETcontrolled black-on-white “electronic ink” sign has been fabricated.

ABSTRACTIntegrated plastic circuits (IPCs) will become an integral component of future low cost electronics. For low cost processes IPCs have to be made of all-polymer Transistors. We present our recent results on fabrication of Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFETs) and integrated inverters. Top-gate transistors were fabricated using polymer semiconductors and insulators. The source-drain structures were defined by standard lithography of Au on a flexible plastic film, and on top of these electrodes, poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) as semiconductor, and poly(4-hydroxystyrene) (PHS) as insulator were homogeneously deposited by spin-coating. The gate electrodes consist of metal contacts. With this simple set-up, the transistors exhibit excellent electric performance with a high source-drain current at source - drain and gate voltages below 30V. The characteristics show very good saturation behaviour for low biases and are comparable to results published for precursor pentacene. With this setup we obtain a mobility of 0.2cm2/Vs for P3AT. Furthermore, we discuss organic integrated inverters exhibiting logic capability. All devices show shelf-lives of several months without encapsulation.
