the electrical properties has been studied for pentacene based thin-film transistors with
channel lengths of L⩽ 4 μ m. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of various aliphatic and
aromatic organothiols have been used to selectively modify the metallic source and drain
electrodes and are further compared with reference samples with untreated electrodes. For
all SAM-treated devices a reduced roughness of the pentacene film is observed which is …
