A soluble and air-stable organic semiconductor with high electron mobility

Abstract

Electronic devices based on organic semiconductors offer an attractive alternative to conventional inorganic devices due to potentially lower costs, simpler packaging and compatibility with flexible substrates. As is the case for silicon-based microelectronics, the use of complementary logic elements--requiring n- and p-type semiconductors whose majority charge carriers are electrons and holes, respectively--is expected to be crucial to achieving low-power, high-speed performance.
