Evidence for n‐type conduction in a perylene tetracarboxylic diimide derivative

Abstract

n‐Type—electron transporting—conduction is demonstrated for Schottky diodes and field effect transistors based on N,N ′‐diphenyl‐3,4,9,10‐perylenetetracarboxylic‐dimide. The role of the electron‐injecting electrode is discussed, as are the potential improvements in performance offered by devices combining a p‐type semiconducting layer with an n‐type, electron transporting organic compound.
