Two new benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene (BTT) derivatives, 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-5-yl)benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene (compound 2), and 2-(benzo[b]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene-2yl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (compound 3) have been synthesized and utilized as solution-processable small molecular organic semiconductors for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The physicochemical characteristics of the recently created substances were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Subsequently, the above-mentioned substances were employed as semiconductor layers in bottom-gate/top-contact OFETs through solution shearing methods for device fabrication, and their electrical performances were meticulously evaluated. The outcoming OFET device displayed p-channel behavior, demonstrating hole mobility of up to 0.005cm2/Vs and a current on/off ratio higher than 106.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
