The invention discloses application of a C-H sigma bond compound as a light-activated n-type
dopant in semiconductors, and belongs to the field of
semiconductor functional materials and the field of
organic electronics. As a high-stability, photo-activatable and efficient n-type
dopant, the C-H sigma bond compound can realize efficient
doping of
semiconductor materials such as small organic molecule semiconductors, conjugated
polymer semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional semiconductors and the like. Meanwhile, the n-type
dopant can be compatible with a high-precision
ultraviolet exposure technology, and regioselective
doping of a
semiconductor material is achieved. When the C-H sigma bond compound is used as an n-type dopant to be applied to electronic devices based on
semiconductor materials, such as thin film transistors, thermoelectric devices, solar cells and light-emitting diodes, the bulk phase and interface defects of the
semiconductor materials can be eliminated, the carrier concentration of the materials can be regulated and controlled, the
electrical performance of small-size devices can be remarkably improved, and the performance of the devices can be improved. Therefore,
miniaturization and integration of the device are realized.
