CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 103 57 044.6, filed Dec. 4, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention relates to the use of an organic mesomeric compound as an organic dopant for doping an organic semiconducting matrix material for varying the electrical properties thereof, a doped semiconducting matrix material, and an electronic component made of the latter.
[0003] The doping of silicon semiconductors has already been state of art for several decades. By this method, an increase in conductivity, initially quite low, is obtained by generation of charge carriers in the material as well as, depending upon the type of dopant used, a variation in the Fermi level of the semiconductor.
[0004] However, several years ago it was also disclosed that organic semiconductors may likewise be strongly influenced with regard to their electr...
