Field effect investigations of charge carrier transport in organic semiconductors

Organic semiconductors are potentially a cost and energy effective alternative to conventional technologies. The understanding of charge transport in these materials and minimizing electrical losses in organic devices is essential to improve device output. In this thesis the transport properties of charge carriers in solution processed organic semiconductors were investigated via field effect measurements. Measurements of the temperature and electric field dependent charge carrier mobilities in organic field effect transistors (OFETs) is a good method for studying the transport properties in organic semiconductors.
