The invention provides an organic
transistor that has a
semiconductor active layer containing a compound that can be represented by the following formula and has a molecular weight of 3,000 or less exhibits high carrier mobility (X represents an
oxygen,
sulfur,
selenium, or
tellurium atom or NR5; each Y and Z represents CR6, an
oxygen,
sulfur,
selenium, or
nitrogen atom, or NR7; the rings containing Y and Z are aromatic heterocycles; R1 or R2 may be bound to the corresponding aromatic heterocycle containing a Y and a Z via a specific
divalent linking group; alternatively, R3 or R4 may be bound to the corresponding
benzene ring via a specific
divalent linking group; R1, R2, and R5 through R8 each represent a
hydrogen atom, an
alkyl group, an alkenyl group, alkynyl group, an
aryl group, or a heteroaryl group; R3 and R4 each represent an
alkyl group, an alkenyl group, alkynyl group, an
aryl group, or a heteroaryl group; and m and n represent integers between 0 and 2, inclusive). The invention also provides a compound, an
organic semiconductor material for a non-light-emitting
organic semiconductor device, a material for an organic
transistor, a
coating liquid for a non-light-emitting
organic semiconductor device, a method for manufacturing an organic
transistor, a method for manufacturing an organic
semiconductor film, an organic
semiconductor film for a non-light-emitting organic
semiconductor device, and a method for synthesizing an organic semiconductor material.
