The present invention provides an organic field-effect transistor (OFET)
and a method of fabricating the OFET. The OFET, configured to function as
a p-type semiconductor, includes a substrate having a top surface and a
semiconductor layer located over the top surface. The semiconductor layer
comprises organic semiconductor molecules. Each of the organic
semiconductor molecules includes a core having conjugated pi bonds, a
fluorinated alkyl group, and an alkyl spacer group having a chain of two
or more carbon atoms. One end of the chain is bonded to the fluorinated
alkyl group and another end of the chain is bonded to the core.
Substituents coupled to the carbon atoms have an electronegativity of
less than about 4.
