This study sheds light on the microscopic mechanisms by which self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) determine the onset voltage in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). Experiments and modeling are combined to investigate the self-assembly and electrostatic interaction processes in prototypical OTFT structures (SiO2/SAM/pentacene), where alkylated and fluoroalkylated silane SAMs are compared. The results highlight the coverage-dependent impact of the SAM on the density of semiconductor states and enable the rationalization and the control of the OTFT characteristics.

Abstract

This study sheds light on the microscopic mechanisms by which self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) determine the onset voltage in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). Experiments and modeling are combined to investigate the self-assembly and electrostatic interaction processes in prototypical OTFT structures (SiO2/SAM/pentacene), where alkylated and fluoroalkylated silane SAMs are compared. The results highlight the coverage-dependent impact of the SAM on the density of semiconductor states and enable the rationalization and the control of the OTFT characteristics.
