  • UV of spin coated film on glass substrate is made from a hot chlorobenzene solution and annealed at different temperatures:
  • Application Example 1a is repeated, except that instead of the polymer obtained in example 1 the polymer obtained in example 4 is used.
  • the thin-film transistors showed clear p-type transistor behaviour. From a linear fit to the square root of the saturated transfer characteristics a field-effect mobility up to 0.013 cm 2 /Vs could be determined. The transistors showed a threshold voltage of about 4 V to 8 V. The transistors showed good on/off current ratios of 10 4 to 10 5 . Testing of a set of OFETs after 2 months exposed in air conditions shows remarkable stability as the mobility is even better (up to 0.028 cm 2 /Vs), on/off ratio which usually suffer the most is also increased by a factor of 5 to 10 and threshold voltage in the range of 0 V to 4 V.
