Abstract

We have investigated the field-effect mobility of three kinds of low molecular weight spirolinked compounds, namely 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis (diphenylamino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-TAD), 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-6φ) and 2,7-bis-(N,N-diphenylamino)- 2',7'-bis-(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-X2). The field-effect mobilities of these materials in the saturation region are 8 x 10-4 cm2V-1s-1, 5 x 10-5 cm2V-1s-1 and 4 x 10-4 cm2V-1s-1 respectively. The atomic force microscopy images show that films prepared from these materials are amorphous with a very smooth surface and the limited field-effect mobility is due to the intrinsic behaviour of amorphous materials.
