Abstract

A number of semiconducting organic molecules capable of wet processing exhibit high carrier mobility and current modulation. In this work, we synthesized photopatternable π-conjugated star-shaped molecules and characterized their physical properties. The solubility of the synthesized molecules is very good for solution processing. The synthesized organic semiconducting multi-branched molecules are capable of photopatterning by virtue of photopolymerization of the reactive pentadienyl end groups. The transistor devices using these molecules provided a field-effect mobility of 1.3(±0.2) × 10-3-3.7(±0.5) × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 as well as a high current on/off ratio (Ion/off > 103) and a low threshold voltage. In the case of the photoreactive star-shaped conjugated molecule HP2P, it was found that field-effect mobility was maintained even after the photocrosslinking process. This result can be used in the design of photopatternable semiconductor molecules for thin-film transistor electronic applications.
