ABSTRACT

The synthesis and characterization of organic semiconductors are receiving great attention because of their potential use in a wide range of electronic and photonic devices, such as junction diodes, organic field effect transistors, memories, solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, optical power-limiting, radio frequency identification tags (RFIDs), sensors, and so on [1–7]. Most of the devices are based on the thin films of organic semiconductors, and expensive equipment is required for depositing their thin films because of the poor solubility of many important families of organic semiconductors in common organic solvents. Solution-processable organic semiconductors are potential candidates for the low-cost, large-area, and large-scale production of many electronic and photonic devices. Using pulsed laser ablation of organic semiconductors in polar solvents, dispersions of the nanoparticles of these materials can be produced [8] and their thin films can be deposited employing the low-cost deposition techniques such as drop casting, dipping, spin casting, inkjet printing, and so on.
