Temperature-Independent Hole Mobility in Field-Effect Transistors Based on Liquid-Crystalline Semiconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thin-film transistors based on Liquid-crystalline phenylterthiophenes, 3-TTPPh-5 and 3-TTPPhF4-6 are fabricated with a spincoating method. The devices exhibit p-type operation with the mobility on the order of 10−2 cm2V−1s−1. The field-effect mobilities of the transistors using 3-TTPPh-5 and 3-TTPPhF4-6 are almost independent of the temperature above room temperature. In particular, the temperature range in which the mobility is constant is between 230 and 350 K for 3-TTPPh-5. key words: liquid-crystalline semiconductor, field-effect transistor, carrier transport, field-effect mobility, phenylterthiophene

Organic Field-Effect Transistors
Over the past twenty years, research into the applications of organic semiconductors (OSCs) has intensified rapidly. Though their electron mobility is much lower than that of typical semiconductors, OSCs show promise in low-cost, flexible, lightweight, and environmentally-friendly semiconductor applications. Their hole mobility was found to be comparable to that of amorphous silicon (a-Si), wit...
متن کاملLiquid crystalline organic semiconductors for organic transistor applications
The recent development of materials for organic field effect transistors (OFETs), including small-molecule and polymer materials, are briefly reviewed, and the problems that remain to be solved prior to practical application and use are discussed. Liquid crystalline materials are good candidates for OFETs because of their advantageous properties over soluble small-molecule materials. Liquid cry...

A systematic study of the hole mobility in hole-only diodes and field-effect transistors based on poly(2-methoxy-5-(3('),7(')-dimethyloctyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene) and on amorphous poly(3-hexyl thiophene) has been performed as a function of temperature and applied bias. The experimental hole mobilities extracted from both types of devices, although based on a single polymeric semiconductor, c...
متن کاملA comprehensive study of the effect of reactive end groups on the charge carrier transport within polymerized and nonpolymerized liquid crystals
Polymerizable liquid crystalline semiconductors, referred to as reactive mesogens RMs , consist of -conjugated cores with reactive end groups decoupled by an aliphatic spacer. These can be polymerized within the mesophase, maintaining the self-assembled morphology and charge transport characteristics. The polymerized films can then be used in organic electronic applications such as charge trans...
متن کاملLiquid crystals for organic thin-film transistors
Crystalline thin films of organic semiconductors are a good candidate for field effect transistor (FET) materials in printed electronics. However, there are currently two main problems, which are associated with inhomogeneity and poor thermal durability of these films. Here we report that liquid crystalline materials exhibiting a highly ordered liquid crystal phase of smectic E (SmE) can solve ...
