| Sumario: | Abstract The low mobility and large contact resistance in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) are the two major limiting factors in the development of high-performance organic logic circuits. Here, solution-processed high-performance OTFTs and circuits are reported with a polymeric gate dielectric and 6,6 bis (trans-4-butylcyclohexyl)-dinaphtho[2,1-b:2,1-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (4H–21DNTT) for the organic semiconducting layer. By optimizing and controlling the fabrication conditions, a high saturation mobility of 8.8 cm2 V−1 s−1 was demonstrated as well as large on/off ratios (> 106) for relatively short channel lengths of 15 μm and an average carrier mobility of 10.5 cm2 V−1 s−1 for long channel length OTFTs (> 50 μm). The pseudo-CMOS inverter circuit with a channel length of 15 μm exhibited sharp switching characteristics with a high signal gain of 31.5 at a supply voltage of 20 V. In addition to the inverter circuit, NAND logic circuits were further investigated, which also exhibited remarkable logic characteristics, with a high gain, an operating frequency of 5 kHz, and a short propagation delay of 22.1 μs. The uniform and reproducible performance of 4H–21DNTT OTFTs show potential for large-area, low-cost real-world applications on industry-compatible bottom-contact substrates. |
