Abstract

A process for fabricating a thin film transistor comprising: (a) forming a gate dielectric; (b) forming a layer including a substance comprising a fluorocarbon structure; and (c) forming a semiconductor layer including a thiophene compound comprising one or more substituted thiophene units, one or more unsubstituted thiophene units, and optionally one or more divalent linkages, wherein the layer contacts the gate dielectric and is disposed between the semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric.

Claims (10)

1. A process for fabricating a thin film transistor comprising:

(a) forming a gate dielectric;

(b) forming a layer comprising a fluorine-containing polymer selected from the group consisting of polychlorotrifluoroethylene, poly(vinyl fluoride), and poly(vinylidene fluoride); and

(c) forming a semiconductor layer including a small molecule thiophene compound comprising one or more substituted thiophene units, one or more unsubstituted thiophene units, and optionally one or more divalent linkages,

wherein the layer comprising a fluorine-containing polymer contacts the gate dielectric and the semiconductor layer, and is disposed between the semiconductor layer and the gate dielectric.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein (b) further comprises depositing a deposition composition comprising the fluorine-containing polymer.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the gate dielectric comprises silicon oxide.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the layer is a self-assembled monolayer.

5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the layer has a thickness ranging from about 0.5 nm to about 500 nm.

6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the small molecule thiophene compound is one of Formulas (I) to (VIII):
