Abstract
Organic field effect transistors have been fabricated on poly(ethylene terephthalate) film substrates with excellent operating characteristics and maximum mobilities of 1.1 cm(2)/(Vs). The semiconductor was a solution processible blend of 6,13-bis(triisopropyl silylethynyl) pentacene and a poly(triaryl amine) used to combine the favourable properties of small molecules and polymers. We have demonstrated that such systems are a good candidate for flexible organic electronics and that the surface energy of the substrate plays a key role in controlling the morphology of the semiconductor film.
