Abstract
Oriented thin films of organic semiconducting small molecules were prepared by crystallization on rubbed alignment layers. Polarized absorption spectra showed that the long axis of the conjugated backbones was highly oriented along the rubbing direction and parallel to the substrates. Transmission electron microscopy and diffraction confirmed that the molecules and in many cases the resulting crystals are aligned. Using the above aligned films as semiconducting layers, we fabricated field-effect transistors having anisotropic mobilities with ratios greater than 15. Several common organic semiconductors have been investigated, and the results indicate that this growth method is generally successful for achieving macroscopic alignment of these semiconducting molecules (and frequently their crystals, as well).
