The authors demonstrate the operation of an organic single-crystal complementary circuit in the form of a simple inverter. The device is constructed from a high mobility p-type organic single-crystal transistor of tetramethylpentacene (TMPC) and a n-type single-crystal transistor of N,N′-di2,4-difluorophenyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI). Field-effect mobilities of up to 1.0cm2∕Vs are reported for TMPC devices, while a mobility of 0.006cm2∕Vs is reported for a n-type PTCDI single-crystal device. Considering that organic single-crystal inverters have not yet been explored, they are representative of potential candidates for use in high-performance complementary circuits.
