“…[76] This proposed explanation for semiconductor instability is consistent with recent evidence that top gate devices typically exhibit enhanced stability in comparison with bottom gate devices. [77] In this architecture, the semiconductor is protected from the environment by the dielectric and gate layers which may act as a sacrificial surface for reaction with highly reactive dopants such as ozone.…”

Organic semiconductors are emerging as a viable alternative to amorphous silicon in a range of thin‐film transistor devices. With the possibility to formulate these p‐type materials as inks and subsequently print into patterned devices, organic‐based transistors offer significant commercial advantages for manufacture, with initial applications such as low performance displays and simple logic being envisaged. Previous limitations of both air stability and electrical performance are now being overcome with a range of both small molecule and polymer‐based solution‐processable materials, which achieve charge carrier mobilities in excess of 0.5 cm2 V−1 s−1, a benchmark value for amorphous silicon semiconductors. Polymer semiconductors based on thienothiophene copolymers have achieved amongst the highest charge carrier mobilities in solution‐processed transistor devices. In this Progress Report, we evaluate the advances and limitations of this class of polymer in transistor devices.

“…In a recent paper we discussed the importance of a polymer's ionization potential and its linear correlation to the open-circuit voltage (V oc ). [5] In parallel, stability studies on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) transistors [6,7] have shown that materials with ionization potentials in this range (4.5-5.0 eV) are susceptible to oxidative doping, and therefore transistors exposed to ambient atmosphere will, over time, p-dope because of interacting with oxygen. [7,8] For early organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications oxygen stability will be a critical issue.…”

Thiophene‐containing polymers blended with fullerenes have recently demonstrated impressively high photovoltaic efficiencies. One drawback of this class of polymers is their relatively low ionization potential, which leads to rather low open‐circuit voltages. Polyterthiophenes belong to a material class that has recently captured a large amount of interest for polymer electronic applications because of its excellent transport properties. Because of the slightly lower ionization potential, this material class appears more attractive for photovoltaic applications than polythiophenes. In this work, the photovoltaic performance of bulk heterojunction solar cells from polyterthiophene/fullerene composites is discussed and compared to the polymer/fullerene blend morphology.

“…They are shown to be stable in air without protective coatings which is important for low-cost, high volume applications (128) . In comparing all-polymer FETs to fully inorganic FETs by changing one layer at a time of the inorganic FET to a polymer material, it is reported that very slight degradation of performance is seen when the polymer layer replaces the silicon substrate and oxide layer (95) .…”
