...Charge carrier mobilities in films of molecules and conjugated polymers often depend on the nanoscopic order, which can be manipulated by the preparation conditions.110–113 For example, a preferential orientation of polymer backbones parallel to the substrate114,115 gives rise to an anisotropic charge transport.112,113 An overview on some materials used for organic field-effect transistors (FETs) is reported by Dimitrakopoulos.15 However, charge transport in FETs is in lateral direction (parallel to the substrate) contrary to solar cells and most LEDs....

...Organic semiconductors generally are materials exhibiting low mobilities, ranging between ≈10 to 10 cm(2)/Vs.(15) This directly limits the active layer thickness of organic photovoltaic devices....
