The present invention encompasses an organic field-effect transistor
comprising an n-type organic semiconductor formed of a fullerene
derivative having a fluorinated alkyl group which is expressed by the
following chemical formula (wherein at least any one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2
and R.sub.3 is a perfluoro alkyl group or a partially-fluorinated
semifluoro alkyl group each having a carbon number of 1 to 20), and a
field-effect transistor production method comprising forming an organic
semiconductor layer using the fullerene derivative by a solution process,
and subjecting the organic semiconductor layer to a heat treatment in an
atmosphere containing nitrogen or argon or in vacuum to provide enhanced
characteristics to the organic semiconductor layer. The present invention
makes it possible to form an organic semiconductor layer by a solution
process and provide an organic field-effect transistor excellent in
electron mobility and on-off ratio and capable of operating even in an
ambient air atmosphere.
