A low bandgap polymer based on a carbon-bridged dithienyl monomer has been
prepared by potentiostatic electrodeposition. Microscopic analysis of the p
olymer revealed a generally smooth morphology with scattered features protr
uding from the surface. Raman mapping shows the presence of a thickness dep
endent fluorescence in the film. Al/polymer/ITO Schottky diodes based on th
is new polymer show a small degree of rectification.
