High-performance n-type organic thin-film phototransistors based on a core-expanded naphthalene diimide

Abstract: High-performance n-type organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on a core-expanded naphthalene diimide are reported in this letter. The photo responsivity is as high as 27000 AW−1 and photocurrent/dark-current ratio reaches 1.1 × 107 under a white light illumination with a power density of 107 μWcm−2. In such OPTs, persistent photoconductivity (PPC) is observed, which can be instantly eliminated by a positive gate voltage pulse. This is explained in terms of trapped photo holes in the channel. In the light on-of… Show more

“…As can be seen from Figure c, the device displays reproducible photosensing behavior. In every photoresponse cycle, the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) was observed . The PPC phenomenon signifies that the I DS declines very slowly and maintains a high current value for a long time even after the light is off.…”

“…Under illumination, the photogenerated holes transport to the drain electrode quickly, but the photogenerated electrons will fill in the electron traps of the p‐type material resulting in prolonged lifetime of photogenerated electrons. To keep the neutrality of the semiconductor, each hole reaching the drain is replenished by another entering from the source . This is the gain mechanism due to the increased lifetime of photogenerated electrons.…”

“…Besides these systems related to P3HT:PCBM, there are also some other n/p‐type materials being studied. Qi et al fabricated phototransistors by using an n‐type small molecule: a core‐expanded naphthalene diimide named NDI(2OD)(4tBuPh)‐DTYM2, and the highest R of the device reached 27 000 A W −1 . Zhang et al investigated the photoresponse of another kind of fullerene derivative, PCBDR, which has a disperse‐red dyad with absorption peak of 480 nm (see Figure a,b) .…”
