The increase in the electrical conductivity of organic semiconductors by doping enables the fabrication of organic electronic devices with high performance. We show that besides the already known dopant diffusion due to a concentration gradient, the dopants are subject to a drift caused by certain operating conditions. In this study we use I(V)-Curve measurements, optical microscopy and spatially resolved infrared spectroscopy for the investigation of the dopant movement. For the device preparation different solution-processable organic hole conducting host-materials as Poly(3-hexylthiophen-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and p-dopants as 2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) were utilized. In dependence of the applied voltage and respective current we observe the formation of an undoped region which we analyze in terms of dopant concentration and other operational parameters. Furthermore we compare the conventional doping in solution to the recently applied sequential doping method. The spatial control of the doped and undoped region within an organic semiconductor can be used to produce passive electronic devices with simple structures. As example we introduce a passive resistor and a non-volatile memory device.
