研究目的
Investigating the mobility evaluation of BTBT derivatives and its impact on charge transport, including a comparison of different measurement techniques and correlation with molecular structure.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that symmetric alkylation in BTBT derivatives leads to higher hole mobilities due to the 'zipper effect,' which enhances intermolecular orbital coupling. The gated van der Pauw method is identified as the most reliable for mobility measurement, eliminating contact resistance and geometry errors. Findings provide insights into structure-property relationships and charge transport mechanisms in organic semiconductors, with implications for material design and device optimization.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific BTBT derivatives and may not generalize to other organic semiconductors. Device fabrication and measurement techniques have inherent uncertainties, such as contact resistance and geometry dependencies, which were mitigated but not entirely eliminated. Film quality variations, especially with longer alkyl chains, could affect results. Low-temperature measurements were constrained by equipment capabilities.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing and characterizing four BTBT derivatives with varying alkyl chain lengths and numbers. Mobility was measured using three techniques: transistor transmission line (TTL), gated four-point probe (gFPP), and gated van der Pauw (gVDP) methods to compare field-effect mobility values and assess reliability. Structural and electronic properties were analyzed using crystal structures, XRD, AFM, and spectroscopic methods.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Four BTBT derivatives were selected: BTBT-C8, BTBT-C10, C8-BTBT-C8, and C10-BTBT-C10. Samples were synthesized following literature procedures, and data were collected from electrical measurements at room and low temperatures (down to 70 K).

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included a semiconductor analyzer (Agilent B1500A), cryogenic probe station (Janis CCR12), helium compressor system (Sumitomo HC-4E), LCR meter (Keysight E4980A), profilometer (DektakXT), and shadow masks for device fabrication. Materials included Si wafers, Si nitride, PMMA, molybdenum oxide, gold, and the synthesized BTBT derivatives.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Devices were fabricated on Si wafers with Si nitride and PMMA layers. Organic semiconductor layers (30 nm thick) were deposited via thermal evaporation, followed by electrode deposition. Electrical characteristics were measured using the semiconductor analyzer, with low-temperature measurements conducted in a cryogenic probe station. Data were analyzed for mobility extraction using specific equations for each method.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Mobility was calculated using equations for TTL, gFPP, and gVDP methods. Statistical analysis was performed to compare results, and temperature-dependent data were fitted to models to understand charge transport mechanisms.
