A star-shaped oligothiophene-arylene derivative in which an oligothiophene
having p-type semiconductor characteristics is bonded to an arylene
having n-type semiconductor characteristics positioned in the central
moiety of the molecule and forms a star shape with the arylene, thereby
simultaneously exhibiting both p-type and n-type semiconductor
characteristics. Further, an organic thin film transistor using the
oligothiophene-arylene derivative. The star-shaped oligothiophene-arylene
derivative can be spin-coated at room temperature, leading to the
fabrication of organic thin film transistors simultaneously satisfying
the requirements of high charge carrier mobility and low off-state
leakage current.
