The molecular basis of mesophase ordering in a thiophene-based copolymer

February 18, 2009
Author(s)
Dean M. DeLongchamp, Regis J. Kline, Youngsuk Jung, Eric K. Lin, Daniel A. Fischer, David J. Gundlach, Andrew Moad, Lee J. Richter, Michael F. Toney, Martin Heeney, Iain McCulloch
The carrier mobility of poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl) thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) semiconductors can be substantially enhanced after heating through a thermotropic mesophase transition, which causes a significant improvement in thin film structural order

The Impact of the Dielectric / Semiconductor Interface on Microstructure and Charge Carrier Transport in High-Performance Polythiophene Transistors

May 14, 2008
Author(s)
Youngsuk Jung, Regis J. Kline, Eric K. Lin, Daniel A. Fischer, Michael F. Toney, Martin Heeney, Iain McCulloch, Dean DeLongchamp
The performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) significantly depends on the properties of the interface between the semiconductor and gate dielectric. Here, we study the impact of chemically modified and morphologically controlled dielectrics

The Effect of Interfacial Roughness on the Thin Film Morphology and Charge Transport of High-Performance Polythiophenes

March 11, 2008
Author(s)
Y S. Jung, Regis J. Kline, Daniel A. Fischer, Eric K. Lin, Martin Heeney, Iain McCulloch, Dean DeLongchamp
We control and vary the roughness of a dielectric upon which a high-performance polymer semiconductor, poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (pBTTT) is cast, to determine the effects of roughness on thin-film microstructure and the

Contact-induced crystallinity for high-performance soluble acene-based transistors and circuits

March 8, 2008
Author(s)
David J. Gundlach, James E. Royer, SK Park, Sankar Subramanian, Oana Jurchescu, Behrang H. Hamadani, Andrew Moad, Regis J. Kline, LC Teague, Oleg A. Kirillov, Curt A. Richter, Lee J. Richter, Sean R. Parkin, Thomas Jackson, JE Anthony
The use of organic materials presents a tremendous opportunity to significantly impact the functionality and pervasiveness of large-area electronics. Commercialization of this technology requires reduction in manufacturing costs by exploiting inexpensive

Critical Role of Side-Chain Attachment Density on the Order and Device Performance of Polythiophenes

October 30, 2007
Author(s)
Regis J. Kline, Dean DeLongchamp, Daniel A. Fischer, Eric K. Lin, Lee J. Richter, Michael L. Chabinyc, Martin Heeney, Iain McCulloch
High performance, solution processable semiconductors are critical to the realization of low cost, large area electronics. We show that a signature molecular packing motif - side-chain interdigitation - correlates to high performance for a large and

I-NEMI 2007 Organic and Printed Electronics Roadmap

April 2, 2007
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Regis J. Kline, Eric K. Lin, David J. Gundlach, Daniel Gamota
This roadmap provides an overview of the most critical technologies necessary for commercial launch and market diffusion of organic & printed electronics based products. To the best of our knowledge, this roadmap is the first of its kind and as such should

High Carrier Mobility Polythiophene Thin Films: Structure Determination by Experiment and Theory

March 19, 2007
Author(s)
Dean M. DeLongchamp, Regis J. Kline, Eric K. Lin, Daniel A. Fischer, Lee J. Richter, Leah A. Lucas, Martin Heeney, Iain McCulloch, John E. Northrup
We exploit the unprecedented crystallinity of poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophene-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophenes) (pBTTTs) high performance semiconducting polymers to study structural detail within 25 nm thick films of a pBTTT with tetradecyl side chains (pBTTT

Charge Transport and Morphology in Conjugated Polymers

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Regis J. Kline, Michael D. McGehee
Polymer semiconductors (conjugated polymers) open up new opportunities for devices and applications that could not be imagined with conventional silicon technology. Polymer semiconductors have much lower fabrication costs and can be deposited on flexible

The influence of molecular weight on the microstructure and thin film transistor characteristics of pBTTT polymers

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Rick Hamilton, Clare Bailey, Warren Duffy, Martin Heeney, Martin Shkunov, David Sparrowe, Steve Tierney, Iain McCulloch, Regis J. Kline, Dean DeLongchamp, Michael L. Chabinyc
A common strategy to improve the electrical performance of organic field effect transistors is to optimize the charge carrier mobility of the semiconducting thin film. Polymer semiconductor transport properties have shown a dependence on the chain length
