Abstract
Compared to organic thin films,organic single crystals offer significant potential in organic phototransis-tors(OPTs)due to their enhanced charge transport,large surface area,and defect-free nature.However,the development of n-type semiconductors has lagged behind p-type semiconductors.To enhance semi-conductor device performance,a doping process can be employed,which typically involves the introduc-tion of charged impurities into the crystalline semiconducting material.Its aim is to reduce the Ohmic losses,increase carrier density,improve transport capabilities,and facilitate effective carrier injection,ul-timately enhancing the electrical properties of the material.Traditional doping processes,however,often pose a risk of damaging the structure of single crystals.In this study,we have synthesized novel cyano-substituted chiral perylene diimides,which self-assemble into two-dimensional single crystals that can be used for n-type semiconductor devices.We have employed a surface doping strategy using diethy-lamine vapor without disrupting the crystal structure.The fabricated devices exhibit significantly higher charge transport properties after doping,achieving a maximum electron mobility of 0.14 cm2 V-1 s-1,rep-resenting an improvement of over threefold.Furthermore,the optoelectronic performance of the doped devices has significantly improved,with the external quantum efficiency increased by over 9 times and the significantly improved response time.These results suggest that our surface doping technology is a promising way for enhancing the performance of 2D organic single-crystal OPTs.
