Recent advances on π-conjugated polymers as active elements in high performance organic field-effect transistors

Incorporation of polycyclic azaborine compounds into polythiophene-type conjugated polymers for organic field-effect transistors.

A thiophene-fused polycyclic azaborine skeleton was employed into conjugated polymers for organic field-effect transistors for the first time. Two polythiophene-type polymers were developed, which exhibited low HOMO levels and strong intermolecular interactions, leading to a hole mobility of up to 0.38 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).

Quinacridone-Diketopyrrolopyrrole-Based Polymers for Organic Field-Effect Transistors

Incorporation of pigment or dye molecules as building units is of great interest in the development of semiconducting polymers, due to their strong intermolecular interactions arising from the strong local dipoles in the unit structure, which would facilitate the charge transport property. In this paper, semiconducting polymers based on well-known pigments, namely, quinacridone and diketopyrrol...

Recent progress in photoactive organic field-effect transistors

Recent progress in photoactive organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is reviewed. Photoactive OFETs are divided into light-emitting (LE) and light-receiving (LR) OFETs. In the first part, LE-OFETs are reviewed from the viewpoint of the evolution of device structures. Device performances have improved in the last decade with the evolution of device structures from single-layer unipolar to mul...
