Conduction in Organic Semiconductors Van der Walls forces hold molecules together Charge transport is dependent on -bonding orbitals and quantum mechanical wave-function overlap (by hopping). Effective mobility increases with increasing temperature and increasing carrier concentration Space-charge-limited current:
Anisotropic Transport • Charge transport in most organic semiconductor including conjugated polymers is anisotropic. Field-effect hole mobility in P3HT is higher than 0.1 cm2/Vs along the polymer backbone and the - orbital stacking and is lower than 2×10-4 cm2/Vs along the insulating side chain • E.g. P3HT: poly(3-hexylthiophene)
Q: How to improve the output current in organic transistor ? A: Improving molecular packing in the right direction! • For conventional FET: • Current flows in lateral direction. • Edge-on direction is required to obtain high mobility. • Reported methods: • Using high boiling point solvent to improve molecular packing • Using solvent annealing to improve molecular packing • Using SAM to control orientation !!
S D P3HT SAM Oxide Gate SAM treatmentin OFETs • Nature 5, 222, 2006 • SAMs (Self-Assemble Monolayers): HMDS and OTS on SiO2 for P3HT FET
Our idea : SAM on vertical sidewalls • Conditions: • SAM: (a) HMDS and (b) OTS • Top injection : • using symmetric EC metal to reduce built-in potential barrier • Using MoO3/Al to adjust emitter work function as 5.3 eV • P3HT @ CB by both spin coating and blade coating (without spinning)
Results: improved pore filling • After OTS treatment, pore surface becomes hydrophilic OTS treated, spin coating STD (no SAM), spin coating STD, blade coating

Summary • With high output current , low operation voltage and high on/off current ratio, vertical transistor SCLT is one of the best solution processed transistor in the world. • Blade coating is successfully demonstrated on OLED and SCLT. Particularly, blade coating PS spheres facilitates the roll-to-roll large area nanostructure colloidal lithography . • Solution processed OLED can be switched on and off by SCLT within1-V base voltage.
Future Work • Develop process for integrated solution-processed OLED/SCLT. • Develop large-area array process for SCLT. • Integrate large-area SCLT array with large-area OLED to realize low-cost e-book (based on blade coating process). • Proposed process is introduced hereafter.
