Air-stable n-channel organic single crystal field-effect transistors based on microribbons of core-chlorinated naphthalene diimide.

Ribbon-shaped single crystal transistors based on naphthalene diimide Cl2-NDI exhibit excellent n-channel performance with the mobility as high as 8.6 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in air. The combination of ambient stability and high mobility n-channel transport closes the gap between p- and n-channel SCFETs and opens the door for the manufacture of high performance complementary organic circuits.
