Molecular chemical doping for improvement of performance in organic field effect transistors

Abstract

In this article we will shortly review molecular doping of organic semiconductors including polymers applied to OFETs The review will cover the main outstanding research achievements reported in the field of organic transistors via doping Before focusing on these achievements we will give a brief theoretical background on the organic semiconducting materials their electronic properties and organic field ndash effect transistors as well as main doping fundamentals We will also discuss some of the reported organic semiconducting materials and doping agents applied for them so far The article will be concluded with a brief summary and outlook over the doping work done recently and its contributions to the development of organic electronics
