In recent years, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives have been used as semiconducting materials for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In this review, we summarize the recent progress in the field of TTF-based OFETs. We introduce the structure and operation of OFETs, and focus on TTF derivatives used in OFETs. TTF derivatives used in OFETs can be divided into three parts by the semiconductor's morphology and the device fabrication technique: (1) TTF derivatives used for single-crystal OFETs, (2) TTF derivatives used for vacuum-deposited thin-film OFETs, and (3) TTF derivatives used for solution-processed thin-film OFETs. The single-crystal OFETs based on TTF derivatives were fabricated by drop-casting method and showed high performance, with the mobility up to 1.4 cm2/Vs. The vacuum-deposited thin-film OFETs based on TTF derivatives were well developed, some of which have shown high performance comparable to that of amorphous silicon, with good air-stability. Although the mobilities of most solution-processed OFETs based on TTF derivatives are limited at 10-2 cm2/Vs, the study on solution-processable TTF derivatives and their devices are promising, because of their low-cost, large-area-coverage virtues. The use of organic charge-transfer (OCT) compounds containing TTF or its derivatives in OFETs is also included in this review.

AbstractOrganic field-effect transistors (FETs) are currently the focus of significant academic research and industrial development interest, as they potentially offer unique advantages over their inorganic counterparts in terms of cost reductions, compatibility with low-temperature and printing-based manufacturing, and potentially even performance. The first generation of products incorporating organic FETs is presently being introduced to the market. This article provides an overview of strategies for achieving high field-effect mobilities in solution-processed organic semiconductor films. We provide an assessment of materials challenges to meet performance and reliability requirements for a range of display and circuit applications and present an overview of state-of-the-art application demonstrations in active-matrix addressing of flexible eletrophoretic, organic light-emitting diode, and liquid-crystal displays, as well as radio-frequency identification tagging. We discuss how the unique functional properties of organic semiconductors, which allow comparatively easy integration of information processing, information storage, light emission, and light detection functions, might enable multifunctional applications that are not easy to create with other material systems.

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are “soft material” versions of accumulationmode silicon-based FETs, where a gate field across a dielectric induces a conductive charge channel at the interface of the dielectric with a semiconductor, between source and drain electrodes. Charge carrier mobilities >0.01 and on/off ratios >10,000 are routinely obtained, adequate for a few specialized applications such as electrophoretic pixel switches but well below standards established for silicon microprocessor technology. Still, progress that has been made in solution-phase semiconductor deposition and the printing of contacts and dielectrics stimulates the development of OFET circuits for situations where extreme low cost, large area, and mechanical flexibility are important. Circuits with hundreds of OFETs have been demonstrated and a prototype OFETcontrolled black-on-white “electronic ink” sign has been fabricated.
