Molecular dopants are increasingly studied to enhance the conductivity of semiconducting polymers. Most available p-type have low solubility in common solvents and moderate electron affinities (EA), which makes solution processing difficult limits range polymers that can be doped. Here, we describe synthesis characterization new molecular dopant TMCN3-CP, has an EA −5.5 eV. We show high ionization energy alternating copolymers such as PDPP-4T, PDPP-3T, PDPP-T-TT-T doped achieve...

Organic semiconductors (OSCs) offer a new avenue to the next-generation electronics, but lack of scalable and inexpensive nanoscale patterning/deposition technique still limits their use in electronic applications. Recently, lithographic etching has been introduced that uses molecular dopants reduce semiconducting polymer solubility solvents direct-write laser remove locally, enabling rapid OSC with diffraction limited resolution. Previous publications postulated reaction enables patterning...

Doping-induced solubility control (DISC) patterning is a recently developed technique that uses the change in polymer upon doping, along with an optical dedoping process, to achieve high-resolution patterning. DISC can produce features smaller than predicted by diffraction limit; however, no mechanism has been proposed explain such high resolution. Here, we use spatially modulate light intensity and determine dissolution rate, revealing superlinear dependence on intensity. This rate law...
