Zusammenfassung: | © 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. Conjugated polymers, which can be fabricated by simple processing techniques and possess excellent electrical performance, are key to the fabrication of flexible polymer field-effect transistors (PFETs) and integrated circuits. Herein, two ambipolar conjugated polymers based on (3E,7E)-3,7-bis(2-oxo-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-3(2H)-ylidene)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']difuran-2,6(3H,7H)-dione and dithienylbenzothiadiazole units, namely PNBDOPV-DTBT and PNBDOPV-DTF2BT, are developed. Both copolymers possess almost planar conjugated backbone conformations and suitable highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels (-5.64/-4.38 eV for PNBDOPV-DTBT and -5.79/-4.48 eV for PNBDOPV-DTF2BT). Note that PNBDOPV-DTBT has a glass transition temperature (140 °C) lower than the deformation temperature of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), meaning well-ordered molecular packing can be obtained on PET substrate before its deformation in mild thermal annealing process. Flexible PFETs based on PNBDOPV-DTBT fabricated on PET substrates exhibit high and well-balanced hole/electron mobilities of 4.68/4.72 cm2 V-1 s-1 under ambient conditions. After the further modification of Au source/drain electrodes with 1-octanethiol self-assembled monolayers, impressively high and well-balanced hole/electron mobilities up to 5.97/7.07 cm2 V-1 s-1 are achieved in the flexible PFETs. Meanwhile, flexible complementary-like inverters based on PNBDOPV-DTBT on PET substrate also afford a much high gain of 148. The device performances of both the PFETs and inverters are among the highest values for ambipolar conjugated polymers reported to date |
