Abstract

A thin film transistor comprises a layer of organic semiconductor material comprising a tetracarboxylic diimide naphthalene-based compound having, attached to each of the imide nitrogen atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl moiety. Such transistors can further comprise spaced apart first and second contact means or electrodes in contact with said material. Further disclosed is a process for fabricating an organic thin-film transistor device, preferably by sublimation deposition onto a substrate, wherein the substrate temperature is no more than 100° C.
