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.
