Used as a high-performance organic semiconductor in thin-film transistors and organic photovoltaic devices due to its extended π-conjugated system and excellent electron-accepting properties. Its fused ring structure enhances charge carrier mobility and thermal stability, making it suitable for flexible electronics and printed circuits. The triethylsilyl group improves solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-based processing techniques like spin coating or inkjet printing. Also explored in n-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) for display technologies and sensors.
