Patent ID: 8097694

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an organic semiconductor thin film, comprising: i) applying a precursor solution comprising a minor quantity of an aromatic enediyne derivative having a structure according to Formula I below, and a major quantity of an organic solvent, to a substrate to form a coating film: wherein X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , A 1 , and A 2 are each thiophene; wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of an amino group, a cyano group, —SiR 1 R 2 R 3 (where R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and C 1 -C 10 alkyl groups), and C 1 -C 20 alkyl groups, and further wherein a and b are 1, c is selected from integers from 0 to 2 inclusive, and the expression a+b+c>0 is satisfied; and ii) treating the coating film at a treatment temperature and for a treatment period sufficient to induce crosslinking of the aromatic enediyne derivatives therein, thus forming the organic semiconductor thin film.
