High Performance Solution Processed Organic Field Effect Transistors with Novel Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Containing Small Molecules.

ABSTRACT: The donor-acceptor (D-A)-type diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based small molecules (LGC-D117 and LGC-D118) were synthesized and used as the active layer of solution-processable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Both LGC-D117 and LGC-D118 contain silaindacenodithiophene as electron-donor units with DPP as an electron-accepting linker, and octylrhodanine as the electron-accepting end group. The molecules were functionalized with different side chains to study their effects on OFET characteristics. LGC-D117 has a simple branched alkyl side chain, whereas LGC-D118 features a bulky siloxane-terminated hybrid alkyl chain. The siloxane side chains of LGC-D118 account for its better crystallinity, leading to significantly high field-effect mobility (max 3.04 cm² V^-1 s^-1). In particular, LGC-D118 is well soluble and sustains the high mobility in the environmentally friendly 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solvent with low temperature annealing at 100 °C due to the bulky siloxane-terminated alkyl side chain.

Solution-processed, high-performance n-channel organic microwire transistors.

Project description:The development of solution-processable, high-performance n-channel organic semiconductors is crucial to realizing low-cost, all-organic complementary circuits. Single-crystalline organic semiconductor nano/microwires (NWs/MWs) have great potential as active materials in solution-formed high-performance transistors. However, the technology to integrate these elements into functional networks with controlled alignment and density lags far behind their inorganic counterparts. Here, we report a solution-processing approach to achieve high-performance air-stable n-channel organic transistors (the field-effect mobility (mu) up to 0.24 cm(2)/Vs for MW networks) comprising high mobility, solution-synthesized single-crystalline organic semiconducting MWs (mu as high as 1.4 cm(2)/Vs for individual MWs) and a filtration-and-transfer (FAT) alignment method. The FAT method enables facile control over both alignment and density of MWs. Our approach presents a route toward solution-processed, high-performance organic transistors and could be used for directed assembly of various functional organic and inorganic NWs/MWs.

Role of Oxide/Metal Bilayer Electrodes in Solution Processed Organic Field Effect Transistors.

Project description:High performance, air stable and solution-processed small molecule 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with various electrode configurations were studied in detail. The contact resistance of OFET devices with Ag, Au, WO3/Ag, MoO3/Ag, WO3/Au, and MoO3/Au were compared. Reduced contact resistance and consequently improved performance were observed in OFET devices with oxide interlayers compared to the devices with bare metal electrodes. The best oxide/metal combination was determined. The possible mechanisms for enhanced electrical properties were explained by favorable morphological and electronic structure of organic/metal oxide/metal interfaces.

Thienoisoindigo (TII)?Based Quinoidal Small Molecules for High?Performance n?Type Organic Field Effect Transistors

Project description:Abstract A novel quinoidal thienoisoindigo (TII)?containing small molecule family with dicyanomethylene end?capping units and various alkyl chains is synthesized as n?type organic small molecules for solution?processable organic field effect transistors (OFETs). The molecular structure of the 2?hexyldecyl substituted derivative, TIIQ?b16, is determined via single?crystal X?ray diffraction and shows that the TIIQ core is planar and exhibits molecular layers stacked in a “face?to?face” arrangement with short core intermolecular distances of 3.28 Å. The very planar core structure, shortest intermolecular N···H distance (2.52 Å), existence of an intramolecular non?bonded contact between sulfur and oxygen atom (S···O) of 2.80 Å, and a very low?lying LUMO energy level of ?4.16 eV suggest that TIIQ molecules should be electron transporting semiconductors. The physical, thermal, and electrochemical properties as well as OFET performance and thin film morphologies of these new TIIQs are systematically studied. Thus, air?processed TIIQ?b16 OFETs exhibit an electron mobility up to 2.54 cm2 V?1 s?1 with a current ON/OFF ratio of 105–106, which is the first demonstration of TII?based small molecules exhibiting unipolar electron transport characteristics and enhanced ambient stability. These results indicate that construction of quinoidal molecule from TII moiety is a successful approach to enhance n?type charge transport characteristics. Quinoidal thienoisoindigo (TIIQ)?based n?type organic small molecules with various alkyl chains are designed as for solution?processable organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Among all, TIIQ?b16 OFETs yield the highest mobility of 2.54 cm2 V?1 s?1, excellent long?term ambient stability, and electrical stability.

Switching from Electron to Hole Transport in Solution-Processed Organic Blend Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Organic electronics became an attractive alternative for practical applications in complementary logic circuits due to the unique features of organic semiconductors such as solution processability and ease of large-area manufacturing. Bulk heterojunctions (BHJ), consisting of a blend of two organic semiconductors of different electronic affinities, allow fabrication of a broad range of devices such as light-emitting transistors, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, photodetectors, ambipolar transistors and sensors. In this work, the charge carrier transport of BHJ films in field-effect transistors is switched from electron to hole domination upon processing and post-treatment. Low molecular weight n-type N,N'-bis(n-octyl)-(1,7&1,6)-dicyanoperylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI8-CN2) was blended with p-type poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophene-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (PBTTT-C14) and deposited by spin-coating to form BHJ films. Systematic investigation of the role of rotation speed, solution temperature, and thermal annealing on thin film morphology was performed using atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering. It has been determined that upon thermal annealing the BHJ morphology is modified from small interconnected PDI8-CN2 crystals uniformly distributed in the polymer fraction to large planar PDI8-CN2 crystal domains on top of the blend film, leading to the switch from electron to hole transport in field-effect transistors.

D-A-D structured organic molecules with diketopyrrolopyrrole acceptor unit for solution-processed organic solar cells.

Project description:Four solution-processable D-A-D structured organic molecules with diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) as acceptor unit and triphenylamine (TPA) or (4-hexyl)thieno [3,2-b]thiophene (HTT) as donor unit, DPP8-TPA, DPP8-TPA-OR, DPP6-HTT and DPP8-HTT, were designed and synthesized for the application as donor materials in solution-processed organic solar cells (OSCs). The molecules show broad absorption and relatively lower highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels. Photovoltaic properties of the molecules were investigated by fabricating the bulk-heterojunction OSCs with the molecules as donor and PC71BM as acceptor. Power conversion efficiency of the OSC based on DPP8-HTT reached 1.5% under the illumination of AM1.5, 100 mW cm(-2).

Quinacridone-Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Based Polymers for Organic Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Incorporation of pigment or dye molecules as building units is of great interest in the development of semiconducting polymers, due to their strong intermolecular interactions arising from the strong local dipoles in the unit structure, which would facilitate the charge transport property. In this paper, semiconducting polymers based on well-known pigments, namely, quinacridone and diketopyrrolopyrrole, are synthesized and characterized. The π-stacking distances are found to be 3.5-3.8 Å, which is fairly narrow for semiconducting polymers, indicating that they possess strong intermolecular interactions. Interestingly, polymer orientation is influenced by the composition of alkyl side chains. While the edge-on orientation is observed when the linear alkyl groups are introduced for all the side chains, the face-on orientation is observed when the branched alkyl groups are introduced either in the quinacridone or diketopyrrolopyrrole unit. It is found that the electronic structure of the present polymers is mostly affected by that of the diketopyrrolopyrrole unit, as evidenced by the absorption spectra and computation. Although the field-effect mobility of the polymers is modest, i.e., in the order of 10-4-10-3 cm²/Vs, these findings could be important information for the development of semiconducting polymers.

Suppressing bias stress degradation in high performance solution processed organic transistors operating in air.

Project description:Solution processed organic field effect transistors can become ubiquitous in flexible optoelectronics. While progress in material and device design has been astonishing, low environmental and operational stabilities remain longstanding problems obstructing their immediate deployment in real world applications. Here, we introduce a strategy to identify the most probable and severe degradation pathways in organic transistors and then implement a method to eliminate the main sources of instabilities. Real time monitoring of the energetic distribution and transformation of electronic trap states during device operation, in conjunction with simulations, revealed the nature of traps responsible for performance degradation. With this information, we designed the most efficient encapsulation strategy for each device type, which resulted in fabrication of high performance, environmentally and operationally stable small molecule and polymeric transistors with consistent mobility and unparalleled threshold voltage shifts as low as 0.1 V under the application of high bias stress in air.

Solution-Processed Donor-Acceptor Polymer Nanowire Network Semiconductors For High-Performance Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) represent a low-cost transistor technology for creating next-generation large-area, flexible and ultra-low-cost electronics. Conjugated electron donor-acceptor (D-A) polymers have surfaced as ideal channel semiconductor candidates for OFETs. However, high-molecular weight (MW) D-A polymer semiconductors, which offer high field-effect mobility, generally suffer from processing complications due to limited solubility. Conversely, the readily soluble, low-MW D-A polymers give low mobility. We report herein a facile solution process which transformed a lower-MW, low-mobility diketopyrrolopyrrole-dithienylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene (I) into a high crystalline order and high-mobility semiconductor for OFETs applications. The process involved solution fabrication of a channel semiconductor film from a lower-MW (I) and polystyrene blends. With the help of cooperative shifting motion of polystyrene chain segments, (I) readily self-assembled and crystallized out in the polystyrene matrix as an interpenetrating, nanowire semiconductor network, providing significantly enhanced mobility (over 8?cm(2)V(-1)s(-1)), on/off ratio (10(7)), and other desirable field-effect properties that meet impactful OFET application requirements.

Pyrrolopyrrole-Based Aza-BODIPY Small Molecules for Organic Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), due to its good planarity, π-conjugate structure, thermal stability, and structural modifiability, has received much attention from the scientific community as an excellent semiconductor material for its applications in the field of optoelectronics, such as organic solar cells, organic photovoltaics, and organic field effect transistors. In this study, a new small molecule, pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY (PPAB), based on the thiophene-substituted DPP structure was developed using the Schiff-base formation reaction of DPP and heteroaromatic amines. Absorption spectroscopy, electrochemistry, X-ray diffraction, molecular theoretical simulation calculation were performed, and organic field-effect transistor properties based on PPAB were investigated. It was found that PPAB exhibits a broad absorption range in the visible and near-infrared regions, which is attributed to its long-range conjugate structure. In addition, it is worth noting that PPAB has multiple F atoms resulting in the low LUMO level, which is conducive to the injection and transportation of charge carriers between the semiconductor layer and the electrode. Meanwhile, its hole carrier mobility is up to 1.3 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 due to its large conjugate structure, good intramolecular charge transfer effect, and high degree of coplanarity. In this study, a new chromophore with electron-deficient ability for designing high-performance semiconductors was successfully synthesized.

Surface-Treated Poly(dimethylsiloxane) as a Gate Dielectric in Solution-Processed Organic Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is a transparent and flexible elastomer which has a myriad of applications in various fields including organic electronics. However, the inherent hydrophobic nature and low surface energy of PDMS prevent its direct use in many applications. It is seldom utilized as a gate dielectric in solution-processed organic field effect transistors (OFETs). In this work, we demonstrate a simple method, extended ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) treatment, to modify the PDMS surface and effectively employ it in solution-processed OFETs as a gate dielectric material. The modified PDMS surface shows enhanced wettability and adherence to both polar and nonpolar liquids, which is contrary to the generally observed hydrophilic nature of UVO-treated PDMS surfaces because of the creation of polar functional groups. The morphological changes happening on the PDMS surface as a result of extended UVO treatment play a major role in making the surface suitable for all type of solvents discussed here. The contact angle measurements are used to give qualitative evidence for this observation. The modified PDMS is then used as a gate dielectric in solution-processed n- and p-channel OFETs using [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC60BM) and regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT) semiconductors, respectively.
