Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel n-type organic semiconductor material, and semiconductor devices containing said n-type organic semiconductor material.
  • organic semiconductors are materials into which charge can be reversibly introduced by the application of electromagnetic energy or chemical dopants.
  • the electronic conductivity of these materials lies between that of metals and insulators, spanning a broad range of 10 ⁇ 9 to 10 3 ⁇ ⁇ 1 cm ⁇ 1 .
  • organic materials can function either as p-type or n-type. In p-type semiconductors the majority carriers are holes, while in n-type the majority carriers are electrons.
  • n-type organic semiconductor materials including: oligoacenes, fused oligothiophenes, anthradithiophenes, carbazoles, oligophenylenes, and oligofluorenes, some of which have resulted in field-effect transistors with performance superior to amorphous silicon.
  • n-type oligomer and polymer semiconductors have lagged behind p-type materials. In fact, compared to the p-type semiconductors, n-type semiconductors are still not fully developed, and the performances are not satisfactory.
  • Organic semiconductors that possess a high electron affinity are however also required, as both p- and n-channel materials are required for efficient logic circuits and organic solar cells. Indeed, n-type organic field-effect transistors are envisioned as key components of organic p-n junctions, bipolar transistors, and complementary integrated circuits leading to flexible, large-area, and low-cost electronic applications.

  • Air stability, packing grain size and morphology of the deposited films as well as electrical performance can be altered by varying side-chain length, insertion of oxygenated groups and degree of fluorination.
  • most of the perylene building blocks due to the structural rigidity and moderate solubility, do not allow readily structural changes limiting the volume of materials accessible.
  • n-type organic materials such as cyanovinyl oligomers, fullerenes.
  • N-type semiconductor materials consisting of oligothiophenes bearing fluorinated side groups have been also described in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 1348 and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 3900. These oligomers showed mobilities up to 0.43 cm 2 V ⁇ 1 s ⁇ 1 . However, OFETs based on most of these perfluoroaryl and perfluoroalkylaryl substituted materials were unstable in air or suffered from high threshold voltage. Fluorocarbonyl-functionalized oligomers were also described, which showed improved air stability, but lower electron mobilities with respect to fluorinated oligomers.
  • J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 9679-9694 describes N-alkyl-2,2′-bithiophene-3,3′-dicarboximide-based homopolymers and copolymers showing p-type or n-type semiconductor behavior depending on the polymeric structure.
  • no air-stable devices could be achieved with such materials.
  • the poor reactivity of the starting dihalogenated bithiophene-imide compounds limits the accessibility of this class of materials.
  • N-alkylatcd poly(dioxopirrolothiophene)s arc described in Organic Letters 2004, 6, 19, 3381-3384. However, no proof of an efficient n-type behavior in OFET devices is reported.
  • WO2008/127029 relates to dioxypirrolo-heterocyclic compounds having the pyrrole moiety fused to the 3,4 position of the thienyl ring and organic electronic devices using said dioxypirrolo-heterocyclic compounds.
