Conjugated polymers enable the production of electronic devices from solution at room temperature due to their advantageous combination of their electrical, optical and film-forming properties. A major milestone for this emerging technology consists in achieving printed multi-layer functional devices. A great challenge for printed organic electronics is to deposit the subsequent layer of a multilayer component from the same solvent without destroying the underlying freshly deposited layer. The solubility reduction of semiconducting molecules by the external stimulus of heat is the aim of our work. Novel organic semiconductors bearing thermally cleavable side chains were investigated via AFM, ellipsometry, PE spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. Their charge transport characteristics were studied using OFETs. These methods allow us to obtain a clear understanding of the pyrolysis process and its influence on the resulting performance. We achieve very homogeneous layers after thermal treatment which exhibit excellent solvent resistance and additionally show an increase in OFET performance.
