Abstract
- We present here the synthesis, characterization, and transistor performance of three semiconductor materials based on trans-1,2-(dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]thiophene)ethene derivatives. Although the incorporation of aromatic, alkyl substituents in both ends of trans-1,2-(dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]thiophene)ethene have a negligible effect on the conjugation length and the energy gap, the subtle chemical modification leads to great variations in film microstructures, electronic properties, and packing arrangements. The appropriate substituents are capable of providing efficient molecular packing arrangements for high carrier mobility. The phenyl-substituted derivative, compound 3, demonstrates a remarkably high thin film FET performance, with mobility up to 2.0 cm2V−1s−1and on/off ratio up to 108. In addition, the devices show good environmental stability, even after storage in air for 7 months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
