Semiconductor device having an organic semiconductor material

Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided with an organic material which is formed by a solid-state mixture of organic donor and organic acceptor molecules. A semiconducting solid-state mixture is known with molar ratios between donor and acceptor molecules of 1.3:2 and 1.66:2. The known solid-state mixture has the disadvantage that its electrical conductivity is comparatively high, so that it is not possible to manufacture switchable devices from the mixture. Here the material includes an n- or p-type semiconductor material, the n-type semiconductor material having a molar ratio between the donor and acceptor molecules below 0.05, and the p-type semiconductor material having this ratio above 20. These solid-state mixtures may be used for manufacturing switchable semiconductor devices. The n- and p-type organic solid-state mixtures can be used for manufacturing transistors, diodes, and field effect transistors in a same manner as, for example, doped silicon or germanium.
