A novel semiconductor, dihexyl-substituted pentathienoacene (C6-PTA) is designed and synthesized in five steps with the total yield up to 25.2%. The introduction of hexyl chains endow the thin film semiconductor with about threefold increase in carrier mobility and one to three orders of magnitude improvement in current on/off ratio. Furthermore, single crystal FETs based on C6-PTA exhibited mobility up to 0.64 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), which is over 50 times higher than the thin film counterpart. The results indicate clearly that C6-PTA is a promising organic semiconductor with high stability.
