High‐Performance Single Crystal Organic Field‐Effect Transistors Based on Two Dithiophene‐Tetrathiafulvalene (DT‐TTF) Polymorphs

Solution prepared single crystal organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) combine low-cost with high performance due to structural ordering of molecules. However, in organic crystals polymorphism is a known phenomenon, which can have a crucial influence on charge transport. Here, the performance of solution-prepared single crystal OFETs based on two different polymorphs of dithiophene-tetrathiafulvalene, which were investigated by confocal Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, are reported. OFET devices prepared using different configurations show that both polymorphs exhibited excellent device performance, although the α-phase revealed charge carrier mobility between two and ten times higher in accordance to the closer stacking of the molecules.
