P-channel solution-processed organic thin film transistors based on a dual layer semiconducting network of polythiophene polymers and oriented germanium nanowires show a marked enhancement of up to five-fold in hole field effect mobility with respect to that of pristine polythiophene devices. The work presented here furthers our understanding of the interaction between polythiophene and oriented nanowires. The nanowire orientation relative to the soure and drain electrodes plays a crucial role in substantially influencing the polymer morphology and transistor performance.

We demonstrate p-channel solution-processed nanocomposite field effect transistors based on a novel bilayer semiconductor of conjugated 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethinyl) pentacene (TIPS-PEN) or poly (3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3OT) on an ordered network of germanium (Ge) nanowires. With an appropriate loading of Ge nanowires into the active channel, nanocomposite transistors show an enhancement of more than a factor of 10 over pristine devices. A hole carrier mobility as high as 0.248 cm(2) V(-1)s(-1) can be achieved based on the heterogeneous Ge/TIPS-PEN network. Moreover, the nanowire orientation relative to the source and drain contacts plays a crucial role in influencing the effective charge transport pathway and mobility anisotropy. It is expected that the nanocomposite FETs with oriented nanowire networks may open up a promising alternative route for the creation of next generation optoelectronic devices.
