Organic Thin‐Film Transistors: Interfacial Heterogeneity of Surface Energy in Organic Field‐Effect Transistors (Adv. Mater. 8/2011)

The growth mode and morphology of semiconductors show changes with varying surface energy heterogeneity of dielectrics in thin-film transistors (TFTs). In previous interfacial investigations of TFTs, the surface energy heterogeneity has always been neglected. However, in work reported by Yunqi Liu and co-workers on p. 1009, it is found that the surface energy heterogeneity of dielectrics has a high impact on the morphology of the semiconductor as well as the performance of the transistor.
