Abstract: A formulation comprising an n-type organic semiconductor, a p-type organic semiconductor and a solvent mixture comprising a first solvent and a second solvent wherein the first solvent is an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon, for example trimethylbenzene, and the second solvent is a benzene substituted with two or more substituents including at least two C1-6 alkoxy groups, for example dimethoxybenzene. The formulation may be used to form the photoactive layer (3) of a photosensitive organic electronic device, for example an organic photo detector, comprising an anode (2) a cathode (4) and the photoactive layer between the anode and the cathode.
