In pentacene-based bottom-contact field-effect transistors, the authors study the influence of anthracene-2-thiol-modified gold electrodes on the morphology, the contact and sheet resistance, the trap density, and the charge-carrier activation energy. The data are compared to reference samples with untreated gold electrodes. Anthracene-2-thiol treatment leads to a reduced sheet resistance, a reduced activation energy, and an improved film morphology.
