We investigated the effects of a gate dielectric and its solvent on the characteristics of top‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). Despite the rough top surface of the inkjet‐printed active features, the charge transport in an OFET is still favorable, with no significant degradation in performance. Moreover, the characteristics of the OFETs showed a strong dependency on the gate dielectrics used and its orthogonal solvents. Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) OFETs with a poly(methyl methacrylate) dielectric showed typical p‐type OFET characteristics. The selection of gate dielectric and solvent is very important to achieve high‐performance organic electronic circuits. 相似文献

Organic single crystals have a great potential in the field of organic optoelectronics because of their advantages of high carrier mobility and high thermal stability. However, the application of the organic single crystals in light‐emitting devices (OLEDs) has been limited by single‐layered structure with unbalanced carrier injection and transport. Here, fabrication of a multilayered‐structure crystal‐based OLED constitutes a major step toward balanced carrier injection and transport by introducing an anodic buffer layer and electron transport layer into the device structure. Three primary color single‐crystal‐based OLEDs based on the multilayered structure and molecular doping exhibit a maximum luminance and current efficiency of 820 cd cm?2 and 0.9 cd A?1, respectively, which are the highest performance to date for organic single‐crystal‐based OLEDs. This work paves the way toward high‐performance organic optoelectronic devices based on the organic single crystals. 相似文献

Organic electronic devices have gained immense popularity in the last 30 years owing to their increasing performance. Organic thin‐film transistors (OTFTs) are one of the basic organic electronic devices with potential industrial applications. Another class of devices called organic thermoelectric (OTE) materials can directly transform waste heat into usable electrical power without causing any pollution. p‐Type transistors outperform n‐type transistors because the latter requires a lower orbital energy level for efficient electron injection and stable electron transport under ambient conditions. Aromatic building blocks can be utilized in constructing n‐type semiconductors. Quinoidal compounds are another promising platform for optoelectronic applications because of their unique properties. Since their discovery in 1970s, quinoidal oligothiophene‐based n‐type semiconductors have drawn considerable attention as candidates for high‐performance n‐type semiconductors in OTFTs and OTEs. Herein, the development history of quinoidal oligothiophene‐based semiconductors is summarized, with a focus on the molecular design and the influence of structural modification on molecular packing and thus the device performance of the corresponding quinoidal oligothiophene‐based semiconductors. Insights on the potential of quinoidal oligothiophenes for high‐performance n‐type OTFTs and OTEs are also provided. 相似文献

Tribotronics is a new field about the devices fabricated using the electrostatic potential created by contact electrification as a “gate” voltage to tune/control charge carrier transport in semiconductors. In this paper, an organic tribotronic transistor is proposed by coupling an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) and a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) in vertical contact‐separation mode. Instead of using the traditional gate voltage for controlling, the charge carrier transportation in the OTFT can be modulated by the contact‐induced electrostatic potential of the TENG. By further coupling with an organic light‐emitting diode, a contact‐electrification‐gated light‐emitting diode (CG‐LED) is fabricated, in which the operating current and light‐emission intensity can be tuned/controlled by an external force–induced contact electrification. Two different modes of the CG‐LED have been demonstrated and the brightness can be decreased and increased by the applied physical contact, respectively. Different from the conventional organic light‐emitting transistor controlled by an electrical signal, the CG‐LED has realized the direct interaction between the external environment/stimuli and the electroluminescence device. By introducing optoelectronics into tribotronics, the CG‐LED has open up a new field of tribophototronics with many potential applications in interactive display, mechanical imaging, micro‐opto‐electro‐mechanical systems, and flexible/touch optoelectronics. 相似文献

Switching and control of efficient red, green, and blue active matrix organic light‐emitting devices (AMOLEDs) by printed organic thin‐film electrochemical transistors (OETs) are demonstrated. These all‐organic pixels are characterized by high luminance at low operating voltages and by extremely small transistor dimensions with respect to the OLED active area. A maximum brightness of ≈900 cd m?2 is achieved at diode supply voltages near 4 V and pixel selector (gate) voltages below 1 V. The ratio of OLED to OET area is greater than 100:1 and the pixels may be switched at rates up to 100 Hz. Essential to this demonstration are the use of a high capacitance electrolyte as the gate dielectric layer in the OETs, which affords extremely large transistor transconductances, and novel graded emissive layer (G‐EML) OLED architectures that exhibit low turn‐on voltages and high luminescence efficiency. Collectively, these results suggest that printed OETs, combined with efficient, low voltage OLEDs, could be employed in the fabrication of flexible full‐color AMOLED displays. 相似文献

The selective tuning of the operational mode from ambipolar to unipolar transport in organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) by printing molecular dopants is reported. The field‐effect mobility (μFET) and onset voltage (Von) of both for electrons and holes in initially ambipolar methanofullerene [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) OFETs are precisely modulated by incorporating a small amount of cesium fluoride (CsF) n‐type dopant or tetrafluoro‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4‐TCNQ) p‐type dopant for n‐channel or p‐channel OFETs either by blending or inkjet printing of the dopant on the pre‐deposited semiconductor. Excess carriers introduced by the chemical doping compensate traps by shifting the Fermi level (EF) toward respective transport energy levels and therefore increase the number of mobile charges electrostatically accumulated in channel at the same gate bias voltage. In particular, n‐doped OFETs with CsF show gate‐voltage independent Ohmic injection. Interestingly, n‐ or p‐doped OFETs show a lower sensitivity to gate‐bias stress and an improved ambient stability with respect to pristine devices. Finally, complementary inverters composed of n‐ and p‐type PCBM OFETs are demonstrated by selective doping of the pre‐deposited semiconductor via inkjet printing of the dopants. 相似文献

A specific design for solution‐processed doping of active semiconducting materials would be a powerful strategy in order to improve device performance in flexible and/or printed electronics. Tetrabutylammonium fluoride and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide contain Lewis base anions, F? and OH?, respectively, which are considered as organic dopants for efficient and cost‐effective n‐doping processes both in n‐type organic and nanocarbon‐based semiconductors, such as poly[[N,N′‐bis(2‐octyldodecyl)‐naphthalene‐1,4,5,8‐bis(dicarboximide)‐2,6‐diyl]‐alt‐5,5′‐(2,2′‐bithiophene)] (P(NDI2OD‐T2)) and selectively dispersed semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes by π‐conjugated polymers. The dramatic enhancement of electron transport properties in field‐effect transistors is confirmed by the effective electron transfer from the dopants to the semiconductors as well as controllable onset and threshold voltages, convertible charge‐transport polarity, and simultaneously showing excellent device stabilities under ambient air and bias stress conditions. This simple solution‐processed chemical doping approach could facilitate the understanding of both intrinsic and extrinsic charge transport characteristics in organic semiconductors and nanocarbon‐based materials, and is thus widely applicable for developing high‐performance organic and printed electronics and optoelectronics devices. 相似文献

In organic electronics solution‐processable n‐channel field‐effect transistors (FETs) matching the parameters of the best p‐channel FETs are needed. Progress toward the fabrication of such devices is strongly impeded by a limited number of suitable organic semiconductors as well as by the lack of processing techniques that enable strict control of the supramolecular organization in the deposited layer. Here, the use of N,N′‐bis(4‐n‐butylphenyl)‐1,4,5,8‐naphthalenetetracarboxylic‐1,4:5,8‐bisimide (NBI‐4‐n‐BuPh) for fabrication of n‐channel FETs is described. The unidirectionally oriented crystalline layers of NBI‐4‐n‐BuPh are obtained by the zone‐casting method under ambient conditions. Due to the bottom‐contact, top‐gate configuration used, the gate dielectric, Parylene C, also acts as a protective layer. This, together with a sufficiently low LUMO level of NBI‐4‐n‐BuPh allows the fabrication and operation of these novel n‐channel transistors under ambient conditions. The high order of the NBI‐4‐n‐BuPh molecules in the zone‐cast layer and high purity of the gate dielectric yield good performance of the transistors. 相似文献

High‐performance top‐gated organic field‐effect transistor (OFET) memory devices using electrets and their applications to flexible printed organic NAND flash are reported. The OFETs based on an inkjet‐printed p‐type polymer semiconductor with efficiently chargeable dielectric poly(2‐vinylnaphthalene) (PVN) and high‐k blocking gate dielectric poly(vinylidenefluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) shows excellent non‐volatile memory characteristics. The superior memory characteristics originate mainly from reversible charge trapping and detrapping in the PVN electret layer efficiently in low‐k/high‐k bilayered dielectrics. A strategy is devised for the successful development of monolithically inkjet‐printed flexible organic NAND flash memory through the proper selection of the polymer electrets (PVN or PS), where PVN/‐ and PS/P(VDF‐TrFE) devices are used as non‐volatile memory cells and ground‐ and bit‐line select transistors, respectively. Electrical simulations reveal that the flexible printed organic NAND flash can be possible to program, read, and erase all memory cells in the memory array repeatedly without affecting the non‐selected memory cells. 相似文献

The realization and performance of a novel organic field‐effect transistor—the organic junction field‐effect transistor (JFET)—is discussed. The transistors are based on the modulation of the thickness of a depletion layer in an organic pin junction with varying gate potential. Based on numerical modeling, suitable layer thicknesses and doping concentrations are identified. Experimentally, organic JFETs are realized and it is shown that the devices clearly exhibit amplification. Changes in the electrical characteristics due to a variation of the intrinsic and the p‐doped layer thickness are rationalized by the numerical model, giving further proof to the proposed operational mechanism. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of copper (I) selenocyanate (CuSeCN) and its application as a solution‐processable hole‐transport layer (HTL) material in transistors, organic light‐emitting diodes, and solar cells are reported. Density‐functional theory calculations combined with X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to elucidate the electronic band structure, density of states, and microstructure of CuSeCN. Solution‐processed layers are found to be nanocrystalline and optically transparent (>94%), due to the large bandgap of ≥3.1 eV, with a valence band maximum located at ?5.1 eV. Hole‐transport analysis performed using field‐effect measurements confirms the p‐type character of CuSeCN yielding a hole mobility of 0.002 cm2 V?1 s?1. When CuSeCN is incorporated as the HTL material in organic light‐emitting diodes and organic solar cells, the resulting devices exhibit comparable or improved performance to control devices based on commercially available poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate as the HTL. This is the first report on the semiconducting character of CuSeCN and it highlights the tremendous potential for further developments in the area of metal pseudohalides. 相似文献

Flexible near‐infrared (NIR) light‐sensing detectors are strongly required in the fast‐growing flexible electronics era, because they can serve as a vision system like eyes in various innovative applications including humanoid robots. Recently, keen interest has been paid to organic phototransistors due to their unique signal amplification and active matrix driving features over organic photodiodes. However, conventional NIR‐sensing organic phototransistors suffer from the limited use of organic materials because the channel layers play a dual role in both charge transport and sensing so that organic semiconducting materials with reasonably high charge mobility can be applied only. Here, it is demonstrated that a conjugated polymer, poly[{2,5‐bis‐(2‐ethylhexyl)‐3,6‐bis‐(thien‐2‐yl)‐pyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1,4‐diyl}‐co‐{2,2′‐(2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole)]‐5,5′‐diyl}] (PEHTPPD‐BT), which exhibits no transistor performance as a channel layer, can stably detect a NIR light (up to 1000 nm) as a gate‐sensing layer (GSL) when it is placed between gate‐insulating layers and gate electrodes. The flexible array (10 × 10) detectors with the PEHTPPD‐BT GSLs could effectively sense NIR light without visible light interference by applying visible light cut films. 相似文献

Hole transport layer (HTL) plays a critical role for achieving high performance solution‐processed optoelectronics including organic electronics. For organic solar cells (OSCs), the inverted structure has been widely adopted to achieve prolonged stability. However, there are limited studies of p‐type effective HTL on top of the organic active layer (hereafter named as top HTL) for inverted OSCs. Currently, p‐type top HTLs are mainly 2D materials, which have an intrinsic vertical conduction limitation and are too thin to function as practical HTL for large area optoelectronic applications. In the present study, a novel self‐assembled quasi‐3D nanocomposite is demonstrated as a p‐type top HTL. Remarkably, the novel HTL achieves ≈15 times enhanced conductivity and ≈16 times extended thickness compared to the 2D counterpart. By applying this novel HTL in inverted OSCs covering fullerene and non‐fullerene systems, device performance is significantly improved. The champion power conversion efficiency reaches 12.13%, which is the highest reported performance of solution processed HTL based inverted OSCs. Furthermore, the stability of OSCs is dramatically enhanced compared with conventional devices. The work contributes to not only evolving the highly stable and large scale OSCs for practical applications but also diversifying the strategies to improve device performance. 相似文献

Graphene‐based organic nanocomposites have ascended as promising candidates for thermoelectric energy conversion. In order to adopt existing scalable printing methods for developing thermostable graphene‐based thermoelectric devices, optimization of both the material ink and the thermoelectric properties of the resulting films are required. Here, inkjet‐printed large‐area flexible graphene thin films with outstanding thermoelectric properties are reported. The thermal and electronic transport properties of the films reveal the so‐called phonon‐glass electron‐crystal character (i.e., electrical transport behavior akin to that of few‐layer graphene flakes with quenched thermal transport arising from the disordered nanoporous structure). As a result, the all‐graphene films show a room‐temperature thermoelectric power factor of 18.7 µW m?1 K?2, representing over a threefold improvement to previous solution‐processed all‐graphene structures. The demonstration of inkjet‐printed thermoelectric devices underscores the potential for future flexible, scalable, and low‐cost thermoelectric applications, such as harvesting energy from body heat in wearable applications. 相似文献

High‐performance non‐volatile memory elements based on carbon‐nanotube‐enabled vertical field‐effect transistors (CN‐VFETs) are demonstrated. A thin crosslinking polymer layer, benzocyclobutene (BCB), on top of the gate dielectric acts as the charge storage layer. This results in a large, fully gate sweep programmable, hysteresis in the cyclic transfer curves exhibiting on/off ratios >4 orders of magnitude. The carbon nanotube random network source electrode facilitates charge injection into the charge storage layer, realizing the strong memory effect without sacrificing mobility in the vertical channel. Given their intrinsically simple fabrication and compact size CN‐VFETs could provide a path to cost‐effective, high‐density organic memory devices. 相似文献

An approach to produce organic light‐emitting transistors (OLETs) containing a laterally arranged heterojunction structure, which minimizes exciton quenching at the metal electrodes, is described. This device configuration provides an organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) structure where the anode (source) electrode, hole‐transport material (field‐effect material), light‐emitting material, and cathode (drain) electrode are laterally arranged, thus offering a chance to control the electroluminescent intensity by changing the gate bias. Pentacene and tris(8‐quinolinolato)aluminum (Alq3) are employed as the field‐effect and light‐emitting materials, respectively. The laterally arranged heterojunction structures are achieved by successively inclined deposition of the field‐effect and light‐emitting materials. After deposition of pentacene, a narrow gap of about 10–20 nm between the drain electrode and pentacene was obtained, thereby creating an opportunity to fabricate a laterally arranged heterojunction. In the OLETs, unsymmetrical source and drain electrodes, that is, Au and LiF/Al ones, are used to ensure efficient injection of holes and electrons. Visible‐light emission from OLETs is observed under ambient atmosphere. This result is ascribed to efficient carrier injection and transport, formation of a heterojunction, as well as good luminescence from the organic emissive layer. The device structure serves as an excellent model system for OLETs and demonstrates a general concept of adjusting the charge‐carrier injection and transport, as well as the electroluminescent properties, by forming laterally arranged heterojunctions. 相似文献

With the increasing importance of electronic textiles as an ideal platform for wearable electronic devices, requirements for the development of functional electronic fibers with multilayered structures are increasing. In this paper, metal–polymer insulator–organic semiconductor (MIS) coaxial microfibers using the self‐organization of organic semiconductor:insulating polymer blends for weavable, fibriform organic field‐effect transistors (FETs) are demonstrated. A holistic process for MIS coaxial microfiber fabrication, including surface modification of gold microfiber thin‐film coating on the microfiber using a die‐coating system, and the self‐organization of organic semiconductor–insulator polymer blend is presented. Vertical phase‐separation of the organic semiconductor:insulating polymer blend film wrapping the metal microfibers provides a coaxial bilayer structure of gate dielectric (inside) and organic semiconductor (outside) with intimate interfacial contact. It is determined that the fibriform FETs based on MIS coaxial microfiber exhibit good charge carrier mobilities that approach the values of typical devices with planar substrate. It additionally exhibits electrical property uniformity over the entire fiber surface and improved bending durability. Fibriform organic FET embedded in a textile is demonstrated by weaving MIS coaxial microfibers with cotton and conducting threads, which verifies the feasibility of MIS coaxial microfiber for use in electronic textile applications. 相似文献

Ambipolar organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) are produced, based on organic heterojunctions fabricated by a two‐step vacuum‐deposition process. Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) deposited at a high temperature (250 °C) acts as the first (p‐type component) layer, and hexadecafluorophthalocyaninatocopper (F16CuPc) deposited at room temperature (25 °C) acts as the second (n‐type component) layer. A heterojunction with an interpenetrating network is obtained as the active layer for the OFETs. These heterojunction devices display significant ambipolar charge transport with symmetric electron and hole mobilities of the order of 10–4 cm2 V–1 s–1 in air. Conductive channels are at the interface between the F16CuPc and CuPc domains in the interpenetrating networks. Electrons are transported in the F16CuPc regions, and holes in the CuPc regions. The molecular arrangement in the heterojunction is well ordered, resulting in a balance of the two carrier densities responsible for the ambipolar electrical characteristics. The thin‐film morphology of the organic heterojunction with its interpenetrating network structure can be controlled well by the vacuum‐deposition process. The structure of interpenetrating networks is similar to that of the bulk heterojunction used in organic photovoltaic cells, therefore, it may be helpful in understanding the process of charge collection in organic photovoltaic cells. 相似文献

Organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) have attracted much attention for the next‐generation electronics. Despite of the rapid developments of OFETs, operational stability is a big challenge for their commercial applications. Moreover, the actual mechanism behind the degradation of electron transport is still poorly understood. Here, the electrical characteristics of poly{[N,N‐9‐bis(2‐octyldodecyl)‐naphthalene‐1,4,5,8‐bis(dicarboximide)‐2,6‐diyl]‐alt‐5,59‐(2,29‐bithiophene)} (P(NDI2OD‐T2)) thin‐film transistors (TFTs) as a function of semiconductor/dielectric interfacial property and environment are systematically investigated, in particular, how the copresence of water, oxygen, and active hydrogen on the surface of dielectric leads to a sharp drop‐off in threshold voltage. Evidence is found that an acid–base neutralization reaction occurring at the interface, as a combined effect of the chemical instability of dielectrics and the electrochemical instability of organic semiconductors, contributes to the significant electron trapping on the interface of P(NDI2OD‐T2) TFTs. Two strategies, increasing the intrinsic electrochemical stability of semiconductor and decreasing the chemical reactivity of gate dielectric, are demonstrated to effectively suppress the reaction and thus improve the operational stability of n‐type OFETs. The results provide an alternative degradation pathway to better understand the charge transport instability in n‐type OFETs, which is advantageous to construct high‐performance OFETs with long‐term stability. 相似文献

Contact resistance significantly limits the performance of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). Positioning interlayers at the metal/organic interface can tune the effective work‐function and reduce contact resistance. Myriad techniques offer interlayer processing onto the metal pads in bottom‐contact OFETs. However, most methods are not suitable for deposition on organic films and incompatible with top‐contact OFET architectures. Here, a simple and versatile methodology is demonstrated for interlayer processing in both p‐ and n‐type devices that is also suitable for top‐contact OFETs. In this approach, judiciously selected interlayer molecules are co‐deposited as additives in the semiconducting polymer active layer. During top contact deposition, the additive molecules migrate from within the bulk film to the organic/metal interface due to additive‐metal interactions. Migration continues until a thin continuous interlayer is completed. Formation of the interlayer is confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cross‐section scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and its effect on contact resistance by device measurements and transfer line method (TLM) analysis. It is shown that self‐generated interlayers that reduce contact resistance in p‐type devices, increase that of n‐type devices, and vice versa, confirming the role of additives as interlayer materials that modulate the effective work‐function of the organic/metal interface. 相似文献
