AbstractSignificant progress has been made in the area of p-type organic field effect transistors while progress in developing n-type materials and devices has been comparatively lacking, a limiting factor in the pursuit to develop complementary organic electronic circuits. Given the need for n-type organic semiconductors we have carried out studies using two different fullerene molecules, C60 and C70. Here, we report mobilities for C60 ranging from 0.02 cm2/Vs up to 0.65 cm2/Vs (depending on channel length), and mobilities from 0.003 cm2/Vs up to 0.066 cm2/Vs for C70. All devices were fabricated with organic films deposited under high vacuum but tested at ambient pressures under nitrogen.

AbstractSpin-coated 52-nm-thick films of newly synthesised gadolinium liquid crystalline bisphthalocyanine sandwich (GdPc2) complexes with octyl chains non-peripheral positions have been successfully employed as active layers for bottom-gate organic field effect transistors having both short $$(5\,\upmu {\text{m}})$$(5μm) and long $$( 20\,\upmu {\text{m}})$$(20μm) channels. The scaling down of the channel length $$( L )$$(L) decreases the field effect mobility due to the increase in the contact resistance between the gold electrodes and the GdPc2 semiconducting layer. Values of on–off ratio and sub-threshold voltage swing are higher nearly one order of magnitude for $$L = 5 \,\upmu{\text{ m}}$$L=5μm than those for $$L = 20\;\upmu m$$L=20μm.

ABSTRACTThis paper demonstrates that electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) method is a promising solution process to fabricate highly-crystalline organic films (6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene; TIPS pentacene) for the use in bottom-contact organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). We obtained large crystalline domains (i.e., molecularly-oriented domains) by using an o-DCB:acetone mixed solvent (1:1), and observed good transistor behavior in an OFET having the channel length of 20 μm.

Ladder-type π-conjugated compounds containing a benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b']difuran skeleton, such as dibenzo[d,d']benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b']difuran (syn-DBBDF) and dinaphtho[2,3-d:2',3'-d']benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b']difuran (syn-DNBDF) were synthesized. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties were revealed by UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were fabricated with these compounds as organic semiconductors, and their semiconducting properties were evaluated. OFETs with syn-DBBDF and syn-DNBDF showed typical p-type characteristics with hole mobilities of <1.5 × 10−3 cm2·V−1·s−1 and <1.0 × 10−1 cm2·V−1·s−1, respectively.

ABSTRACTBy incorporating dielectrics with stored electric fields and organic semiconductors, new organic electronic components such as circuits with controlling voltages “restored” for transistor tuning can be developed. We have successfully used excellent electret materials including charged and surface-treated silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silsesquioxane (SSQ) polymers as the dielectric layer in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Charge injection and quasipermanent charge storage induce threshold voltage shifts and current modulation, which results from the built-in electric fields in the conduction channels. Static and dynamic characteristics of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) such as charging conditions and voltage/current retention were evaluated. In addition, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of dipolar molecules have been utilized in the dielectric layer, with different mechanisms but similar effects compared to charged dielectrics. We also present new OFET unipolar inverters, comprised of only two simple OTFTs with enhancement-mode driver and depletion-mode load to implement full-swing organic logic circuits for process simplification of electronic components in organic electronics.

Organic semiconductors (OSCs) are promising transducer materials when applied in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) taking advantage of their electrical properties which highly depend on the morphology of the semiconducting film. In this work, the effects of OSC thickness (ranging from 5 to 15 nm) on the piezoresistive sensitivity of a high-performance p-type organic semiconductor, namely dinaphtho [2,3-b:2,3-f] thieno [3,2–b] thiophene (DNTT), were investigated. Critical thickness of 6 nm thin film DNTT, thickness corresponding to the appearance of charge carrier percolation paths in the material, was demonstrated to be highly sensitive to mechanical strain. Gauge factors (GFs) of 42 ± 5 and −31 ± 6 were measured from the variation of output currents of 6 nm thick DNTT-based OFETs engineered on top of polymer cantilevers in response to compressive and tensile strain, respectively. The relationship between the morphologies of the different thin films and their corresponding piezoresistive sensitivities was discussed.
