Field-effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated with a thin film of 3,10-ditetradecylpicene, picene-(C14H29)(2), formed using either a thermal deposition or a deposition from solution (solution process). All FETs showed p-channel normally-off characteristics. The field-effect mobility, m, in a picene-(C14H29)(2) thin-film FET with PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) gate dielectric reached similar to 21 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), which is the highest mu value recorded for organic thin-film FETs; the averagem mu value (<mu >) evaluated from twelve FET devices was 14(4) cm(2)V(-1) s(-1). The, m. values for picene-(C14H29)(2) thin- film FETs with other gate dielectrics such as SiO2, Ta2O5, ZrO2 and HfO2 were greater than 5 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), and the lowest absolute threshold voltage, vertical bar V-th vertical bar, (5.2 V) was recorded with a PZT gate dielectric; the average jVthj for PZT gate dielectric is 7(1) V. The solution-processed picene-(C14H29)(2) FET was also fabricated with an SiO2 gate dielectric, yielding mu = 3.4 x 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1). These results verify the effectiveness of picene-(C14H29)(2) for electronics applications.
