126 Exceptions in morphology-mobility relationship<br />

Also in this case the enhanced structural order of the first<br />

pentacene monolayers in comparison to the plain sample evidences a<br />

general increase of the charge transport and mobility and a peak value<br />

at VGS=-11V as it has already been shown for CF4 in figure 8 and<br />

references [31].<br />

Finally, if we compare mobility results obtained for treated and<br />

untreated dielectrics as in figure 12, and extract grain dimensions<br />

statistics from channel’s SEM images, a relationship between<br />

maximum mobility and channel morphology can be graphically shown<br />

taking also into account values extracted in previous works [24][23] in<br />

figure 13.<br />

If we observe the figure 13 (black square symbols), it’s possible to<br />

notice a generally increasing trend of charge mobility versus<br />

pentacene lateral grain dimension. This behavior is common in large<br />

grains semiconductors[3] and the limiting factor is not the grain<br />

mobility but, according to the back-to-back Schottky schematization<br />

of the grain-to-grain interface, the current flowing through a grain<br />

boundary at room temperature is limited by thermionic emission. (eq.<br />
