High mobility organic single-crystal transistors

Abstract

We report a series of our experiments using organic single crystals to reach the maximum performance intrinsic to the materials. A consequence of the experiments is that a good prescription for realizing high-mobility devices is to induce carriers in inner crystals to avoid scattering at the surfaces. Intrinsic-semiconductor character of the high-purity organic crystals favors thermal diffusion of the carriers into the crystals in the presence of weak gate-electric fields. © 2008 The Surface Science Society of Japan.
