Dipolar‐Modulated Charge‐Doped Trilayer Organic Semiconductor n–n Heterojunction

A novel dipolar-modulated charge-doped trilayer n-n organic heterojunction with a bidirectional tunable energy band discontinuity is constructed. The rectifying mechanism of the trilayer is similar to the rectifying and inverse-rectifying characteristics from n-p and p-n junctions, respectively. Zero-bias optoelectronic behavior and persistent photoconductivity are discovered. These results show that what are viewed as technological hurdles in the development of an organic n-n heterojunction should, in fact, lead to a better approach in organic optoelectronics.
