Hall mobility and characteristics of gas-phase polymerized poly(3-iodothiophene) thin films
The semi-conductive poly(3-iodothiophene)(P3IT) films were fabricated by gas-phase polymerization through a chemical vapor deposition process. The P3IT nanoscale films have a high crystalline morphologies, and possessed a high Hall mobility up to 10 cm(2)/Vs. The degree of crystalline and the mobility values measured through Scanning Electron Microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with structural analysis. These conductive thin films, possessing polycrystalline structures, have a very high mobility and are capable of being applied to organic electronic layers for electrical devices such as the thin film transistors and organic photovoltaic cells.
