We report the use of two polyselenophene-based conjugated polymers, poly(3,3 %26apos;%26apos;-didodecyl-2,2%26apos;:5,2 %26apos;%26apos;-terselenophene) (P3Se) and poly(3,3 %26apos;%26apos;,3%26apos;%26apos;%26apos;,3%26apos;%26apos;%26apos;%26apos;-tetradodecyl-2,5%26apos;:2%26apos;,2 %26apos;%26apos;:5 %26apos;%26apos;,2%26apos;%26apos;%26apos;-pentaselenophene) (P5Se), as an active layer of printed p-channel organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Top-gate/bottom-contact (TG/BC) P5Se OFETs showed a high-saturation hole mobility of up to similar to 0.1 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and a high on/off ratio of similar to 10(5) with no hysteresis. In addition, polyselenophene-based OFETs exhibited a much better bias and ambient stability when compared with poly(3-hexylthiophene)-based OFETs. The excellent air stability of those polyselenophenes enables the realization of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverters via extended periods of ink-jetting under ambient conditions. CMOS inverters were demonstrated using p-[P5Se] and n-channel [poly{[N,N%26apos;-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-naphthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-s,6-diyl]-alt-5,5%26apos;-(2,2%26apos;-dithiophene)}] ([P(NDI2OD-T2)], Polyera ActivInk N2200/OFETs) by inkjet printing of conjugated polymers. Printed CMOS inverters exhibited a stable voltage transfer characteristic with negligible hysteresis, a DC voltage gain of similar to 10, and a power consumption of similar to 0.025 mW at V-DD = -60 V.
