A great deal of attention has been devoted to organic electronics due to its application to large-area, low-cost, and flexible electronics, and a wide variety of organic semiconductors have been developed for organic transistors. Here we describe recent development of high performance organic transistor materials and ambipolar materials from the viewpoint of the energy levels. By considering contact resistance coming from the interfacial potential at the organic/electrode boundary, we introduce our recent attempt to develop self-contact organic transistors using chemical doping.
