Multiple-trapping in pentacene field-effect transistors with a nanoparticles self-assembled monolayer

A silver nanoparticles self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was incorporated in pentacene field-effect transistor and its effects on the carrier injection and transport were investigated using the current-voltage (I − V) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) measurements. The I − V results showed that there was...
