Recently an n-type Pentacene OFET, using traces of Calcium between SiO2 and Pentacene has been demonstrated. This OFET exhibits electron transport properties similar to those of holes observed in a corresponding p-type OFET. Results on XPS measurements unveiling the influence of Ca on the SiO2 surface are presented. According to these measurements, the first deposited Ca performs a chemical reaction with the SiO2 interface. Metallic Ca is found only at higher nominal thickness. Moreover, characteristics of OFETs are presented, where thin intermediate polymer dielectrics selected with respect to functional end groups and their polarity have been employed between SiO2 and Pentacene. A clear correlation between the occurrence of ambipolar transport and the molecular polarity has been revealed. From the present results, interface modifications with different polymer dielectrics as well as traces of Ca result in different interfacial electron trap densities, allowing a modification of the OFET threshold. This is a step toward to a better control of the device properties for organic integrated circuits and ambipolar OFETs.
