Abstract

In this work, the characteristics of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on polymeric gate insulator have been investigated. The SAMs were formed using atomic layer deposition (ALD) method onto gate insulator. Upon the investigations, it was observed that SAMs modify the wettability of polymeric insulator and influence the growth of subsequent organic semiconductor, and thereby, electric conductivity and roughness of the pentacene film are improved.
