Flexible Low-Voltage Organic Transistors and Circuits Based on a High-Mobility Organic Semiconductor with Good Air Stability

Flexible transistors and circuits based on dinaphtho-[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT), a conjugated semiconductor with a large ionization potential (5.4 eV), are reported. The transistors have a mobility of 0.6 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and the ring oscillators have a stage delay of 18 mu s. Due to the excellent stability of the semiconductor, the devices and circuits maintain 50% of their initial performance for a period of 8 months in ambient air.
