Inorganic versus organic semiconductors

Abstract

improvement of the electrical behavior of organic semiconductors (OSCs) as high temperature causes lattice vibrations and provides required thermal energy for the system to create favourable environments for the release of the trapped charge carriers.1−3 The charge transport mechanism of inorganic semiconductors is sensitive to temperature as well. However, it is extremely detrimental to the performance of these materials as the temperature-induced lattice vibrations of the highly-ordered and crystalline inorganic substances lead to increased lattice scattering and trapping of the charges as well as reduced carrier mobility.4
