Field-effect transistors(FETs) of three diketopyrrolopyrroles(DPP)-based small molecules, 3,6-bis(5-phenylthiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolopyrrole-1,4-dione(PDPPP), 3,6-bis(5-(4-fluorophenyl)th...Field-effect transistors(FETs) of three diketopyrrolopyrroles(DPP)-based small molecules, 3,6-bis(5-phenylthiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolopyrrole-1,4-dione(PDPPP), 3,6-bis(5-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolo pyrrole-1,4-dione(FPDPPPF) and 3,6-bis(5-(4-n-butylphenyl)thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolo pyrrole-1,4-dione(Bu PDPPPBu), have been studied in this work. Well aligned crystals of the three molecules were grown from para-xylene by droplet-pinned crystallization method. FETs based on these aligned crystals exhibit a hole mobility up to0.19 cm^2 V 1s 1and electron mobility up to 0.008 cm^2 V 1s 1. The achieved hole mobility is of the same order of magnitude as reported highest hole mobility for DPP-based small molecules, but it is much lower than that of the high-performance DPP-based polymers. The relative low mobility is mainly attributed to the rough crystal surfaces with steps and, thus, non-smooth charge transport channels at the interfaces between the crystals and the dielectrics. This work has implications for understanding the low charge mobility of DPP-based small molecules.展开更多

TIPS-pentacene was used to demonstrate the fabrication of hundreds of field- effect transistors (FETs) with the hole mobility as high as 6.46 cm^2 V^-1.s^-1. As such, this work provides a high- throughput, yet efficient approach for statistical examination on the FET performance of organic single crystals.展开更多
