BTQBT (bis-(1, 2, 5-thiadiazolo)-p-quinobis(1, 3-dithiole)) Thin Films; A Promising Candidate for High Mobility Organic Transistors

Abstract

BTQBT (bis-(1, 2, 5-thiadiazolo)-p-quinobis(1, 3-dithiole)) films have been prepared as active semiconducting layers of organic field effect transistors (FETs). BTQBT films showed a p-type semiconducting behavior. The hole mobility and on/off ratio of BTQBT films under ultrahigh vacuum conditions reached to 0.2 cm2/V·s and 108, respectively, by optimization of the growth conditions. These values are in the same order as those of pentacene thin films, which indicates that BTQBT molecules have a great potential for active layers of organic electronic devices.
