Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the solvent system by introducing highly acidic fluorinated alcohols with specific molecular structures (Formula S1) containing CF3 groups. This chemical parameter change enables the formation of high-quality organic semiconductor films at lower temperatures, resolving the contradiction between maintaining reliable carrier mobility and reducing manufacturing temperature.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite solvent system combining highly acidic fluorinated alcohols with other organic solvents in specific ratios (Formula (2)). This composite material approach leverages the unique properties of fluorinated alcohols (high acidity, low steric hindrance) to achieve excellent carrier mobility at low temperatures without requiring high-temperature processing.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameter of fluorinated alcohol in the solvent system, establishing specific content ranges (5-50 wt%, preferably 10-30 wt%) where the alcohol provides sufficient solubility enhancement and crystallinity improvement for high carrier mobility, while avoiding excessive alcohol content that would unnecessarily increase costs. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between performance improvement and cost control.
