Organic semiconductors offer numerous advantages for electronics. However, carrier mobilities in organic semiconductors are generally orders of magnitude lower than in inorganic semiconductors. This is a major bottle neck for device efficiency. The electrical properties are additionally dependent on thin film morphology which is challenging to control in solution deposited films. We studied structure-function relationships in a novel liquid crystal molecule. The molecular films demonstrate phase changes from crystalline to nematic to isotropic phases at temperatures of 140 C, 165 C and 250 C, respectively. We demonstrate the influence of temperature on the structure of solution processed films with cross polarized microscope (CPM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Current-voltage measurements and impedance spectroscopy were performed on films annealed to temperatures above the crystalline - nematic phase change and subsequently cooled. The mobility increases from 10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1 to 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1. We demonstrate that controlled structural manipulation of the film can be used to reduce electronic disorder. These results show the potential of liquid crystal conjugated materials in electronic applications.
