    Abstract

    Large‐area single‐crystalline thin films of n‐type organic semiconductors (OSCs) fabricated via solution‐processed techniques are urgently demanded for high‐end electronics. However, the lack of molecular designs that concomitantly offer excellent charge‐carrier transport, solution‐processability, and chemical/thermal robustness for n‐type OSCs limits the understanding of fundamental charge‐transport properties and impedes the realization of large‐area electronics. The benzo[de]isoquinolino[1,8‐gh]quinolinetetracarboxylic diimide (BQQDI) π‐electron system with phenethyl substituents (PhC2–BQQDI) demonstrates high electron mobility and robustness but its strong aggregation results in unsatisfactory solubility and solution‐processability. In this work, an asymmetric molecular design approach is reported that harnesses the favorable charge transport of PhC2–BQQDI, while introducing alkyl chains to improve the solubility and solution‐processability. An effective synthetic strategy is developed to obtain the target asymmetric BQQDI (PhC2–BQQDI–Cn). Interestingly, linear alkyl chains of PhC2–BQQDI–Cn (n = 5–7) exhibit an unusual molecular mimicry geometry with a gauche conformation and resilience to dynamic disorders. Asymmetric PhC2–BQQDI–C5 demonstrates excellent electron mobility and centimeter‐scale continuous single‐crystalline thin films, which are two orders of magnitude larger than that of PhC2–BQQDI, allowing for the investigation of electron transport anisotropy and applicable electronics.

    Abstract

    Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) are promising building blocks for low cost, low-environmental load, and lightweight electronic devices. Carbon-based conductors can be potentially used as TFT electrodes. However, a concern is that the carbon electrode is unsuitable for carrier injection into organic semiconductors due to the difficulty in precise work function control. Herein, we have demonstrated that molecular dopants in carbon networks can improve carrier injection with a reasonably low contact resistance of 510 Ω·cm, which constitutes a key step in the realization of noble-metal-free electronic devices.

    ConspectusOrganic semiconductors (OSCs) have attracted much attention because of their potential applications for flexible and printed electronic devices and thus have been extensively investigated in a variety of research fields, such as organic chemistry, solid-state physics, and device physics and engineering. Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), a class of OSC-based devices, have been expected to be an alternative of silicon-based metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), which is the indispensable element for most of the current electronic devices. However, the noncovalently aggregated, van der Waals solid nature of the OSCs, by contrast to covalently bound silicon, conventionally exhibits lower carrier mobilities, limiting the practical applications of OTFTs. In particular, electron-transporting (i.e., n-type) OSCs lag behind their hole-transporting (p-type) counterparts in carrier mobility and ambient stability as OTFTs. This is primarily because of the difficulty in achieving compatibility between the aggregated structure exhibiting excellent carrier mobility and that with enough electron affinity. Recent understandings of carrier transport in OSCs explain that large and two-dimensionally isotropic transfer integrals coupled with small fluctuations are crucial for high carrier mobilities. In addition, from a practical point of view, the compatibility with practical device processes is highly required. Rational molecular design principles, therefore, are still demanded for developing OSCs and OTFTs toward high-end device applications.Herein, we will show our recent progress in the development of n-type OSCs with the key π-electron core (π-core) of benzo[de]isoquinolino[1,8-gh]quinolinetetracarboxylic diimide (BQQDI) on the basis of single-crystal OTFT technologies and the band-transport model enabled by two-dimensional molecular packing arrangements. The critical point is the introduction of electronegative nitrogen atoms into the π-core: the nitrogen atoms in BQQDI not only deepen the molecular orbital energies but also allow hydrogen-bonding-like attractive intermolecular interactions to control the aggregated structures, unlike the conventional role of the nitrogen introduced into OSCs only for the former role. Hence, the BQQDI analogues exhibit air-stable OTFT behavior and two-dimensional brickwork packing structures. Specifically, phenethyl-substituted analogue (PhC2-BQQDI) has been shown as the first principal BQQDI-based material, demonstrating solution-processable thin-film single crystals, fewer anisotropic transfer integrals, and an effective suppression of molecular motions, leading to band-like electron-transport properties and stress-durable n-channel OTFT performances, in conjunction with the support of computational calculations. Insights into more fundamental points of view have been found by side-chain derivatization and OTFT studies on polycrystalline and single-crystal films. We hope that this Account provides readers with new strategies for designing high-performance OSCs by two-dimensional control of the aggregated structures.

    Transistors, the most important logic elements, are maintained under dynamic influence during circuit operations. Practically, circuit design protocols and frequency responsibility should stem from a perfect agreement between the static and dynamic properties. However, despite remarkable improvements in mobility for organic semiconductors, the correlation between the device performances achieved under static and dynamic circumstances is controversial. Particularly in the case of organic semiconductors, it remains unclear whether parasitic elements that relate to their unique molecular aggregates may violate the radiofrequency circuit model. Thus, we herein report the manufacture of micrometre-scale transistor arrays composed of solution-processed organic semiconductors, which achieve near very high-frequency band operations. Systematic investigations into the device geometrical factors revealed that the radiofrequency circuit model established on a solid-state continuous medium is extendable to organic single-crystal field-effect transistors. The validity of this radiofrequency circuit model allows a reliable prediction of the performances of organic radiofrequency devices.

    Solution-processed organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are an essential building block for next-generation printed electronic devices. Organic semiconductors (OSCs) that can spontaneously form a molecular assembly play a vital role in the fabrication of OTFTs. OTFT fabrication processes consist of sequential deposition of functional layers, which inherently brings significant difficulties in realizing ideal properties because underlayers are likely to be damaged by application of subsequent layers. These difficulties are particularly prominent when forming metal contact electrodes directly on an OSC surface, due to thermal damage during vacuum evaporation and the effect of solvents during subsequent photolithography. In this work, we demonstrate a simple and facile technique to transfer contact electrodes to ultrathin OSC films and form an ideal metal/OSC interface. Photolithographically defined metal electrodes are transferred and laminated using a polymeric bilayer thin film. One layer is a thick sacrificial polymer film that makes the overall film easier to handle and is water-soluble for dissolution later. The other is a thin buffer film that helps the template adhere to a substrate electrostatically. The present technique does not induce any fatal damage in the substrate OSC layers, which leads to successful fabrication of OTFTs composed of monolayer OSC films with a mobility of higher than 10 cm2 V-1 s-1, a subthreshold swing of less than 100 mV decade-1, and a low contact resistance of 175 Ω⋅cm. The reproducibility of efficient contact fabrication was confirmed by the operation of a 10 × 10 array of monolayer OTFTs. The technique developed here constitutes a key step forward not only for practical OTFT fabrication but also potentially for all existing vertically stacked organic devices, such as light-emitting diodes and solar cells.

    Prediction of material properties of newly designed molecules is a long-term goal in organic electronics. In general, it is a difficult problem, because the material properties are dominated by the unknown packing structure. We present a practical method to obtain charge transport properties of organic single crystals, without use of experimental single-crystal data. As a demonstration, we employ the promising molecule C10-DNBDT. We succeeded in quantitative evaluation of charge mobility of the single crystal using our quantum wave-packet dynamical simulation method. Here, the single-crystal data is computationally obtained by searching possible packing structures from structural formula of the molecule. We increase accuracy in identifying the actual crystal structure from suggested ones by using not only crystal energy but also similarity between calculated and experimental powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The proposed methodology can be a theoretical design technique for efficiently developing new high-performance organic semiconductors, since it can estimate the charge transport properties at early stage in the process of material development.

    本研究では、含硫黄フェナセン系分子群の特異な電子構造に着目し、これらの分子が自己組織化して得られる一連の高次構造体の結晶構造と伝導特性の相関を明らかにする。含硫黄フェナセン系分子群は、伝導に関わる最高被占有軌道 (HOMO) が分子長軸方向に拡がった特徴的な軌道形態を持つことに加えて、分子の縮環形態の違いにより HOMO とNext-HOMO (NHOMO) がエネルギー的に近接する。また、縮環形態と置換基の組み合わせにより HOMO と NHOMO 間で軌道の重なりが生じる新奇なπ電子系である。中心コア部分の共役系の拡張、導入する置換基や分子の非対称化などの効果を検証し、「特異な電子構造を如何に伝導特性に反映させるか」を明らかにすることが本研究の目的である。
    令和4年度(2年目)は、新しいジグザグ型硫黄架橋π電子コアとしてジフェナントロ[1,2-b:2’,1’-d]チオフェン (DPT) と、ユニークな軌道配置を示す、そのフェニル置換誘導体 (Ph-DPT) を報告した。DPT 誘導体は、市販のジベンゾチオフェンから5段階の汎用的な合成スキームで容易に合成できる。単結晶構造解析とバンド計算の結果、いずれの DPT も2次元電荷キャリア輸送に有利な典型的なヘリングボーン充填構造を形成し、有効質量が小さいことが明らかになった。DPT と Ph-DPT の単結晶ベースの電界効果トランジスタ (FET) は、いずれも p 型挙動を示し、電荷キャリア移動度は最大 5.5 cm2 V-1 s-1 であった。これらの結果は、高性能有機半導体への分子設計アプローチの幅を広げる情報を提供するものである。

    Well-used perturbation theory, such as deformation potential approximation, is not applicable to organic semiconductors, since electron-phonon coupling of organic semiconductors is much larger than that of inorganic ones. To compute the thermoelectric properties without use of perturbation theory, we extended our “time-dependent wave-packet diffusion (TD-WPD)” approach, which enables us to calculate the charge transport properties using the wave-packet dynamics based on quantum theory. We applied the approach to an organic semiconductor, and showed validity of the approach. Furthermore, we investigated the electronic state and transport properties of n-type organic semiconductors, because not only p-type but also n-type organic semiconductors with high mobility are required to realize organic thermoelectric devices. As the result, we found that, different from p-type organic semiconductors, intramolecular vibrational (phonon) modes significantly affect the mobility of n-type ones.

    In this research, we developed a high-speed operation device with organic field-effect transistors (FETs). As a result, in the Au top contact organic FETs, we clarified that an annealing process dramatically reduces the contact resistance. Also, we clarified that the cause of the mobility overestimation of the organic FET is due to the large contact resistance. Moreover, by optimizing process conditions, we realized the world's smallest contact resistance (50 ohm・cm). Finally, we succeeded in fabricating a low voltage operating flexible organic FET circuit.

    For the realization of high-performance thin-film organic solar cells, a key issue is to develop self-assembly strategies that enable electron donor and acceptor molecules to form a heterojunction with a wide interface of hole and electron transporting nanoscale domains. Through the present work, we showed the first example of one-dimensionally connected organic nanostructures with dissimilar semiconducting properties. Along with this achievement, we serendipitously discovered that a polymer brush, bearing multiple mesogenic units in its side chains, can form a polymer film featuring a large-area homeotropic ordering of the polymer molecules. As an extension of this finding, we demonstrated a new photomechanical material, capable of converting light energy into a mechanical output.

    高平面性パイ共役骨格に16族元素を導入したヘテロアセン類は新たな電荷輸送性有機材料として期待される.我々はすでに,ビス(o-ブロモアリール)ジアセチレンを出発原料に用いた分子内三重環化反応とつづく脱カルコゲン反応による一連の縮環オリゴチオフェンの合成を報告している.今回,この方法論を修飾することにより,パイ共役骨格がより高度に拡張された縮環オリゴチオフェンの合成について検討した.
    ビス(ブロモチエニル)アセチレンをt-BuLiを用いてジリチオ化し,続いて硫黄と反応させることにより,ジチイン環とチオフェン環の二つの環形成が同時におこったジカルコゲニド結合をもつ化合物が得られることを見いだした.得られた化合物からの脱カルコゲン反応を銅を用いて行うことにより,環が4つ縮環した縮環オリゴチオフェンへと誘導することができた.同様に、,6-ブロモチエノチオフェン誘導体を出発原料に用いると環が六つ縮環した化合物を合成することができた.さらに,この合成法を,アセチレン部位を二つ有する出発原料に適用することにより,8個のチオフェン環が縮環した化合物を合成することにも成功した.この化合物について,X線結晶構造解析を行ったところ,予想通りほぼ平面構造をとることがわかった.得られたこれら一連の縮環オリゴチオフェン化合物の電気化学特性を明らかにするために,サイクリックボルタンメトリーを測定した.これらの化合物は環の数が増えるに従い、酸化されやすくなることがわかった.すべての化合物について第一酸化過程は可逆に観測され,安定なラジカルカチオンを生成することが示唆された.また,8個縮環した化合物は同条件下で,可逆な第二酸化波を示した.さらに,得られた化合物の光物性を明らかにするために,紫外可視吸収スペクトルおよび蛍光スペクトルを測定した.環の数が4個から8個に増えると吸収極大と蛍光極大は,それぞれ約80nm長波長シフトし,量子収率の向上も観測された.今後,これらの化合物の電荷輸送特性などの物性評価を行っていく予定である.
