Abstract

We show that the electrical properties of organic thinfilm transistors(OTFTs) can be enhanced by controlling the morphology of interface between screen printed electrodes and gate dielectrics. Modified surface of the insulator layer($SiO_2$) affect on the interface energy of electrode on $SiO_2$ layer. Contact angle measurement and FT-IR spectrum shows that the interface is properly modified. OTFTs device with high efficiency has been realized through modification of interface layer.
