摘要
A conjugated, fused-thiophene oligomer, bis(dithienothiophene) (BDT), has been synthesized and deposited by vacuum sublimation as the active layer in organic thin film transistors (TFTs). The TFTs show exceptionally high ON/OFF ratios up to 10(8) between accumulation and depletion with sharp turn-on characteristics comparable to that of amorphous silicon TFTs (subthreshold slope S=0.6 V/decade). Field-effect mobilities are 0.02-0.05 cm(2)/V s. The good performance is explained by the relatively high pi-pi* gap of the short-chain BDT molecule and the favorable coplanar pi-pi stacking in BDT, differing from the herringbone stacking in the oligothiophenes.
