Materials, Vol. 12, Pages 615: Raman Spectroscopic Studies of Dinaphthothienothiophene (DNTT) (Materials)

The application of dinaphthothienothiophene (DNTT) molecules, a novel organic semiconductor material, has recently increased due to its high charge carrier mobility and thermal stability. Since the structural properties of DNTT molecules, such as the molecular density distribution and molecular orientations, significantly affect their charge carrier mobility in organic field-effect transistors devices, investigating these properties would be important. Here, we report Raman spectroscopic studies on DNTT in a transistor device, which was further analyzed by the density functional theory. We also show a perspective of this technique for orientation analysis of DNTT molecules within a transistor device.
