Organic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFTs) are intensely studied due to their adaptability, e.g. as an active matrix for flexible displays or in low-cost RFID tags. Recent reports indicate that OTFTs can match their inorganic counterparts based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) in terms of mobility and on/off-current-ratio. We have shown that dielectic surface modifictions (DSM) can improve the performance of OTFTs dramatically. The use of the organic chainmolecule octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) is leading to transistors with superior performance. In order to both gain a deeper insight into the phenomenon of performance enhancement and to facilitate high mobility transistors, perylene-based devices utilizing novel DSM have been studied. The employed surface modifications are based on a) derivates of OTS with differently modified end-groups and b) a polymeric dielectric (PDMS) with a chain length comparable to OTS. The OTFTs were characterized by temperature-dependent electronic measurements, scanning probe microscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD).
