Abstract

Electronic and structural properties of the interfaces formed by pentacene deposited on a polymer-based dielectrics are investigated by electron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and water contact angle measurement. There is strong influence of surface treatment of the polymer dielectrics on the energy level alignment and the surface topography upon the pentacene deposition.
