  • Patent number: 7470574
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dual organic field-effect transistor (OFET) structure and a method of fabricating the structure. The dual OFET structure includes an n-type organic semiconductor layer and a p-type organic semiconductor layer in contact with each other along an interface and forming a stack. The dual OFET structure also includes a source electrode and a drain electrode, the source and drain electrodes being in contact with one of the organic semiconductor layers. The dual OFET structure further includes first and second gate structures located on opposite sides of the stack. The first gate structure is configured to control a channel region of the n-type organic semiconductor layer, and the second gate structure is configured to control a channel region of the p-type organic semiconductor layer.

  • Patent number: 7160754
    Abstract: The present invention provides an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) and a method of fabricating the OFET. The OFET, configured to function as a p-type semiconductor, includes a substrate having a top surface and a semiconductor layer located over the top surface. The semiconductor layer comprises organic semiconductor molecules. Each of the organic semiconductor molecules includes a core having conjugated pi bonds, a fluorinated alkyl group, and an alkyl spacer group having a chain of two or more carbon atoms. One end of the chain is bonded to the fluorinated alkyl group and another end of the chain is bonded to the core. Substituents coupled to the carbon atoms have an electronegativity of less than about 4.
