Hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials and electronic or electro-optic devices using the hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials. Hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials comprise molecules that have a core section that provides an n-type semiconducting property and side chains that provide a dielectric property to a layer of hybrid semiconducting-dielectric material. Specific hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials include tetracarboxylic diimide compounds having sidechains comprising fluorine substituted aliphatic or aromatic moieties linked to the tetracarboxylic diimide structure by an alkylene or heteroalkylene linking group.
