Indium tin oxide (ITO) used as an electrode in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) was modified by a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). For device fabrication, surface of the ITO was modified by immersion in a solution including various phosphonic acid at room temperature in order to increase work function of an electrode. The work function of ITO with SAM was measured by Kelvin probe. Work function increase of 0.88 eV was observed in ITO with various SAM. Therefore, ohmic contact is achieved in an interface between ITO and organic semiconductors (pentacene). We analyzed the origin of work function increase of ITO with SAM by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We confirmed that increase of oxygen bonding energy attributed to increase the work function of ITO. These results suggested that ITO with the SAM gives a high possibility for high performance of OLEDS and OTFTs.

In the surface pressure-area isotherms of mixed monolayers, mixtures containing as much as 30 mol% of AA form stable condensed monolayer while the monolayer without AA is in the expanded state because PVK take on 3D collapsed. All of the mixed monolayers with 0, 10, 20 and 30 mol% of AA could be readily transferred onto ITO substrate at 16, 17, 24 and 26 mN/m, respectively. The monolayer containing 30 mol% of AA, however, showed a roughness value of 28A and became homogeneous decreasing with the phase separation. We fabricated organic EL device of ITO/CuPc/MEL/BBOT/iLiF/Al using mixed monolayer of 13, 19 and 25 layer deposited by LB method as a emitting layer. In the voltage-current characteristics of EL device, current density was much smaller than that of the spin-coated devices. It may due to the large contact resistance existed at the interface of LB layer/organic layer inhibit carrier injection to the emitting layer. EL spectra of device showed peaks at 450. 470, 505, 555 and 650 nm and the white light emission indicate the CIE coordinate x=0.306, y=0.353.

It is well known that the state of existence of molecules on the surface of water changes during compression of the molecules. Electric methods, such as the measurement of the surface potential or displacement current, are also useful for investigating dynamic changes of the molecular state on the water surface during compression. Maxwell-Displacement-Current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied to the study of monolayers of Arachidic acid and L-$\alpha$-Dimyristoyl Phosphatidylcholine(L-$\alpha$-DMPC). The displacement current was generated from monolayers on a water surface by monolayer compression. Displacement current was generated in the gas state, gas/liquid state, and liquid state in the course of monolayer compression. The researchers examined diplacement current of electric conduction organic monolayer generated due to orient change of monolayers alkylchain.

We have applied self-assembled monolayer to make high performance and stable OTFT on the organic gate dielectric. The ${\beta}$-phenethyltrichlorosilane (SAM) was coated on the organic gate dielectric and then active layer was printed. Significant improvements in on-currents and threshold voltage shift were achieved for the SAM treated devices compared to device without SAM.

In the present study, a human mammary epithelial cell (HMEC) culture model was developed to evaluate the potential involvement of carrier-mediated transport systems in drug transfer into milk. Trypsin-resistant HMECs were seeded on $Matrigel^{circledR}-coated$ filters to develop monolayers of functionally differentiated HMEC. Expression of the specific function of HMEC monolayers was dependent of the number of trypsin treatments. Among the monolayers with different numbers of treatment (treated 1 to 3 times), the monolayer treated 3 times (3-t-HMEC monolayer) showed the highest maximal transepithelial resistance and expression of $\beta-casein$ mRNA as an index of differentiation. Transport of tetraethylammonium (TEA) across the 3-t-HMEC monolayer in the basolateral-to-apical direction was significantly higher than that in the apical-to-basolateral direction (p<0.05), whereas such directionality was not observed for p-aminohippurate, suggesting the existence of organic cation transporters, but not organic anion transporters. In fact, expression of mRNAs of human organic cation transporter (OCT) 1 and 3 were detected in the 3-t-HMEC monolayer. These results indicate that the 3-t-HMEC monolayer is potentially useful for the evaluation of carrier-mediated secretion of drugs including organic cations into human milk.

Indium tin oxide (ITO), which is used as an electrode in organic thin film transistors (OTFT), was modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) by wet chemical surface modification. The surface of the ITO was treated by dipping method in a solution of 2-chloroethane phosphonic acid (2-CEPA) at room temperature. The work function in the ITO which was modified with the SAM in the 2-CEPA had 5.43eV. A surface energy and a transmittance were unchanged in an error range. On this study, therefore, possibility of ohmic contact is showed in the interface between the ITO and the organic semiconductors. These results suggest that the treatment of the ITO with the SAM can greatly enhance the performance of the OTFT.

The electrochemical behavior of Ru complex and PD complex monolayer, deposited on conductive substrate by the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique as monolayer and multilayer, has been studied by cyclic voltammetry. Monolayer films show stable reversible state. Atomic resolution imaging of LB highly-conductive, environmently stable organic films has been obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showing their closely packed structure,

A newly developed OTFT manufacturing process using the combination of self-assembly techniques and vapor phase polymerization method revealed that a thick $SiO_2$ dielectric layer (100~200 nm) is not well compatible with conducting polymer electrode, thereby resulting in still recognizable contact resistance, unstable $V_{th}$ and leaking off current. A couple of very recent studies showed that this issue may be solved by replacing such inorganic dielectric with a self-assembled monolayer or multilayer (organic) dielectric. Therefore, this short review introduces recent trends in the development of high performance thin film transistor consisting of both organic semiconductor and SAM dielectric.
