Gate dielectric surface modification in organic field-effect transistors

Abstract

First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation to my supervisor, Associate Professor Mei Ting, for his patience, encouragement and invaluable suggestions on my studying and living. Without his guidance as a great mentor, this work would not have been possible, and I certainly wouldn't be here. My gratitude also goes to Professor Hu Xiao (at MSE) who provided valuable co-supervision at various points in my research. I also highly appreciate Dr Pavel Neuzil (at IME) for his support and help at the very beginning of my research work, and his way of flexibility and easy-going makes me more confident and comfortable. Being in the Photonics Laboratory in NTU gave me the opportunity to learn from the various faculty members involved with the Photonics Research Centre. My sincere thanks go to Associate
