Strategies to control crystal growth of highly ordered rubrene thin films for application in organic photodetectors by Hofmann, A, Wolansky, J, Hambsch, M, Talnack, F, Bittrich, E, Winkler, L, Herzog, M, Zhang, T, Antrack, T, Winkler, LC, Schröder, J, Riede, M, Mannsfeld, SCB, Benduhn, J, Leo, K

“…Organic semiconductors still lag behind their inorganic counterparts in terms of mobility due to their lower structural order, in particular in thin films. Here, the highly ordered phase of triclinic rubrene – characterized by high vertical hole mobility – grown from a vacuum-deposited thin film is used by post-annealing and implemented into organic photodetectors. …”
