Solution-processed high-LUMO-level polymers in n-type organic field-effect transistors: A comparative

study as a semiconducting layer, dielectric layer, or charge injection layer
Apr 2015
Chuan Liu · Yong Xu · Xuying Liu · [...] · Yong-Young Noh
In solution-processed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), the polymers with high level of lowest unoccupied
molecular orbitals (LUMOs, > −3.5 eV) are especially susceptible to electron-trapping that causes low electron
mobility and strong instability in successive operation. However, the role of high-LUMO-level polymers could be
different dep...
