Hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials and electronic or electro-optic devices using the hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials. Hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials comprise molecules that have a core section that provides an n-type semiconducting property and side chains that provide a dielectric property to a layer of hybrid semiconducting-dielectric material. Specific hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials include tetracarboxylic diimide compounds having sidechains comprising fluorine substituted aliphatic or aromatic moieties linked to the tetracarboxylic diimide structure by an alkylene or heteroalkylene linking group.

Low-voltage, N-channel transistors including a hybrid semiconductor-dielectric material

n-type organic semiconductors have a pyromellitic diimide structure and electronic or electro-optic devices include pyromellitic diimide compounds as organic semiconductors. Specific semiconductors include pyromellitic diimide compounds have sidechains comprising fluorine substituted aliphatic or aromatic moieties linked to the pyromellitic diimide structure by an alkylene or heteroalkylene linking group. An electronic or electro-optic device includes a first electrode, a second electrode space apart from the first electrode, and an organic semiconductor layer arranged between the first and second electrodes. The organic semiconductor layer comprises a pyromellitic diimide compound.
