The properties of the dielectric strongly influence the performance of organic thin-film transistors. In this letter, we show experimental results that quantify the influence of the roughness of the dielectric on the mobility of pentacene transistors and discuss the cause of it. We consider the movement of charge carriers out of the “roughness valleys” or across those valleys at the dielectric–semiconductor interface as the limiting step for the roughness-dependent mobility in the transistor channel.
