Electron Mobility Exceeding 10 cm2 V-1 s-1 and Band-Like Charge Transport in Solution-Processed n-Channel Organic Thin-Film Transistors

Solution-processed n-channel organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) that exhibit a field-effect mobility as high as 11 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) at room temperature and a band-like temperature dependence of electron mobility are reported. By comparison of solution-processed OTFTs with vacuum-deposited OTFTs of the same organic semiconductor, it is found that grain boundaries are a key factor inhibiting band-like charge transport.
