Abstract:
An exemplary organic semiconductor copolymer includes a polymeric repeat structure having a polythiophene structure and an electron accepting unit. The electron accepting unit has at least one electron-accepting heteroaromatic structure with at least one electron-withdrawing imine nitrogen in the heteroaromatic structure or a thiophene-arylene comprising a C2-30 heteroaromatic structure. Methods of synthesis and electronic devices incorporating the disclosed organic semiconductors, e.g., as a channel layer, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an organic electronic device, in which a semiconductor layer and source/drain electrodes may be formed from materials of the same type, suitable for a room-temperature wet process, and thus have surface properties similar to each other, thereby decreasing contact resistance between the semiconductor layer and the source/drain electrodes. The materials for formation of the semiconductor layer and source/drain electrodes may be organic semiconductor type materials obtained by adding carbon-based nanoparticles to organic semiconductor materials in predetermined or given amounts. As such, the conductivity of a semiconductor or conductor may vary depending on the amount of carbon-based nanoparticles.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of fabricating organic thin film transistors composed of a substrate, a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, metal oxide source/drain electrodes, and an organic semiconductor layer. The methods include applying a sufficient quantity of a self-assembled monolayer compound containing a live ion to the surfaces of the metal oxide electrodes to form a self-assembled monolayer. The presence of the live ion at the interface between the metal oxide electrodes and the organic semiconductor layer modifies the relative work function of these materials. Further, the presence of the self-assembled monolayer on the gate insulating film tends to reduce hysteresis. Accordingly, organic thin film transistors fabricated in accord with the example embodiments tend to exhibit improved charge mobility, improved gate insulating film properties and decreased hysteresis associated with the organic insulator.

Disclosed herein are an alternating copolymer of phenylene vinylene and biarylene vinylene, a preparation method thereof, and an organic thin film transistor including the same. The organic thin film transistor maintains low off-state leakage current and realizes a high on/off current ratio and high charge mobility because the organic active layer thereof is formed of an alternating copolymer of phenylene vinylene and biarylene vinylene.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a copolymer of a perfluoropolyether derivative and a photosensitive polymer, a composition for forming banks comprising the copolymer, and a method for forming banks using the composition. Also disclosed is an organic thin film transistor including the composition and an electronic device including the organic thin film transistor. The use of the copolymer may enable the formation of banks by a solution coating process. Because an organic thin film transistor including banks formed by the method may be fabricated without any degradation in the characteristics of the organic thin film transistor, improved electronic properties may be exhibited.
Abstract:
A star-shaped oligothiophene-arylene derivative in which an oligothiophene having p-type semiconductor characteristics is bonded to an arylene having n-type semiconductor characteristics positioned in the central moiety of the molecule and forms a star shape with the arylene, thereby simultaneously exhibiting both p-type and n-type semiconductor characteristics. Further, an organic thin film transistor using the oligothiophene-arylene derivative. The star-shaped oligothiophene-arylene derivative can be spin-coated at room temperature, leading to the fabrication of organic thin film transistors simultaneously satisfying the requirements of high charge carrier mobility and low off-state leakage current.
