We fabricated high-performance single crystal organic field-effect transistors (SC-OFETs) based on dinaphtho[2,3-b:2,3-f]thieno[3,2-b]-thiophene (DNTT). Among various device geometries and contact types, best performance is obtained for a lamination-type SC-OFET composed of a Cytop-treated SiO2 gate dielectric and top-contact gold/tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane electrodes, which results in hysteresis-free device characteristics with optimum mobility of 8.3cm2/Vs and an on/off ratio of >108. The achieved performance is promising for use of the air-stable DNTT in future studies of intrinsic properties of molecular crystals.

The conditions for the preparation of the Cytop layer were as follows: spin-casting of a 1:5 or 1:10 solution of Cytop CTL-809M:CT-solvent at 2000 or 1500 rpm, respectively, and drying/baking at 120°C on the hotplate. The contact angle reached >110°.
