abstract = {Organic phototransistors (OPTs) hold significant promise
for cost-effective, flexible optoelectronic applications,
particularly in Shortwave-Infrared (SWIR) detection, which
is crucial for applications such as health monitoring,
communications, and artificial vision. Traditional OPTs
often rely on unipolar materials, limiting their efficiency
by utilizing only one type of charge carrier. In contrast,
ambipolar organic semiconductors (OSCs), transporting both
electrons and holes, can fully harness photogenerated
carriers, thereby enhancing device performance. Here,
high-performance, solution-processed ambipolar
single-component SWIR OPTs are demonstrated by fine-tuning
the number of fused thiophene rings in donor-acceptor (D-A)
conjugated polymers utilizing thiadiazoloquinoxaline-unit
(TQ) as the electron-deficient unit. Through systematic
polymer characterizations and optoelectronic device
characterizations it was revealed that three fused thiophene
rings (TQ-T3) delivered ambipolar NIR phototransistors with
well-balanced hole and electron mobilities of 0.03 and 0.02
cm2 V-1 s-1 and the highest reported specific detectivity of
2 × 108 Jones (at 1100 nm), with external quantum
efficiency of $1400\%$ and $1200\%$ for the p-type and
n-type single-component active layer material, respectively.
These findings contribute to advancing the design of
efficient ambipolar OPTs for SWIR detection, with potential
applications in imaging and sensing technologies.},
