A thin film transistor comprises a layer of organic semiconductor that
comprises an N,N'-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic acid diimide having
at least one cycloalkyl group having a fluorinated substituent at its
4-position that adopts an equatorial orientation in the trans
configuration of the cycloalkyl group and an axial orientation in the cis
configuration of the cycloalkyl group. Such transistors can be a field
effect transistor having a dielectric layer, a gate electrode, a source
electrode and a drain electrode. The gate electrode and the thin film of
organic semiconductor material both contact the dielectric layer, and the
source electrode and the drain electrode both contact the thin film of
organic semiconductor material.
