WELL-ORIENTED 6,13-BIS(TRIISOPROPYLSILYLETHYNYL) PENTACENE CRYSTALS AND A TEMPERATURE-GRADIENT METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein are temperature-gradient methods of producing well-oriented TIPS pentacene crystals and films comprising establishing a temperature gradient on a substrate to produce a heated substrate having a lower temperature portion at a first temperature and a higher temperature portion at a second temperature and applying a solution comprising 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene to the heated substrate, driving crystallization from the lower temperature portion of the substrate to the higher temperature portion of the substrate.
