Organic semiconductor molecular scaffolds: MerckRecent Research Landscape

Unstable charge transport in semiconductor layers leads to device failure and efficiency loss. These innovations engineer specific molecular structures to stabilize electronic properties and extend hardware lifespan.

What technical problems is Merck addressing in Organic semiconductor molecular scaffolds?

Insufficient charge carrier mobility

(13)evidences

Low charge transport efficiency limits the switching speed and brightness of organic electronic components. Improving mobility reduces power consumption and increases device responsiveness.

Inadequate charge carrier mobility

(5)evidences

Low intrinsic electrical conductivity in organic molecular layers limits device switching speeds and efficiency. Overcoming this bottleneck enables high-performance thin-film transistors and light-emitting diodes.

Short device operational lifespan

(2)evidences

Spirobifluorene derivatives are primarily engineered to address the tendency of organic thin films to crystallize or degrade under operational heat. High glass transition temperatures prevent structural deformation that leads to device failure.
