High‐Performance Semiconductors based on Alkoxylnaphthyl End‐Capped Oligomers for Organic Thin‐Film Transistors

Abstract: Small‐fused acenes with an electron‐donating alkoxyl naphthyl end‐capper, which can tune the electronic properties and increase stacking by self‐assembly, are synthesized by a simple process and fabricated into organic thin film transistors. In particular, hexyloxynaphthalene‐end‐capped anthracene, AN‐ANE (see figure), shows field effect mobility three times that of pentacene under optimized conditions.

“…Although polymer‐based OFETs are easily processed using solution‐based methods, carrier mobilities in polymer devices are limited due to poor polymer packing and defects on a macroscopic scale resulting from weak intermolecular van der Waals forces 2. Several approaches to improve the field‐effect mobilities of OFETs have been developed for use in single‐crystalline films,3 vacuum‐deposited films,4 and polymer/small‐molecule blends;5 however, these film formation methods are difficult to control and cannot be adapted to the mass production of flexible, low‐cost, and large‐area devices. A less complex alternative is presented by the use of solution‐processed homogeneous polymer semiconductors 6.…”

“…In this process, a limit in the use of traditional inorganic materials such as silicon was reached, because it loses its properties at nanoscopic conditions. In this context, a new generation of molecular materials has emerged derived from new areas of scientific research to replace the traditional inorganic materials …”

“…Organic materials dominate in flexible electronics research due to the convenient processing methodologies. Importantly, organic devices and circuits have been fabricated over large area flexible materials through low temperature printing or additive techniques [4][5][6]. However, organic electronics present some drawbacks such as rapid switching time, poor device stability and low device density.…”
