✦ Synopsis
In pentacene-based bottom-contact field-effect transistors we study the influence of source and drain contact metals (gold, palladium, and platinum) on the morphology and transistor performance. Transistors prepared with Pd electrodes show a reduced contact and sheet resistance, a reduced activation energy, and a closer packed pentacene film in the channel region.

Source and drain electrodes made of Cu or Ag in organic field-effect transistors are treated with an organic acceptor, dimethyldicyanoquinonediimine (DMDCNQI). The performance of the resulting bottom-contact pentacene transistor is improved by two orders, and is comparable to the Au topcontact devic
