Complementary inverter using high mobility air-stable perylene di-imide derivatives

Abstract

The authors report the fabrication and electrical characterization of organic complementary inverters using pentacene as p -type material and our previously reported air-stable perylene di-imide derivatives tetrachloro-perylene-tetracarboxyldi-imide (TC-PTCDI) and N, N′ -bis(2-phenylethyl)perylene-3,4:9:10-bis-(dicarboximide) (BPE-PTCDI) as n -type materials. Both p - and n -type thin film transistors were integrated onto the same substrate using a top contact configuration. The corresponding inverters show good performance with gains about 12 and 10 for TC-PTCDI and BPE-PTCDI inverters, respectively. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
