Theses organic materials are αω-dihexylquaterthiophene (DH4T), the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives dibenzene-tetrathiafulvalene (DB-TTF) and dithiophene-tetrathiafulvalene (DT-TTF), and polytriarylamine (PTAA). The latter material is an amorphous polymer, the three others are small molecule oligomer materials. Different deposition methods were applied and compared. The investigations in the thesis treat the pure characterisation of the above materials with their different properties in OFET devices. Furthermore, the aim was to observe and analyse general rules and effects in OFETs depending on the structure, previous history, and the device scaling. Therefore, different tools and special analysing methods were developed and applied. These are a standard characterisation method for the classification of the used organic semiconductor, temperature dependent electrical characterisation investigating the electrical transport properties, the newly developed in situ measurement method of OFET devices, the downscaling of the OFET devices of channel length below 100 nm, and the lithographical structuring of a PTAA film.}, subject = {Organischer Halbleiter}, language = {en} }
