N- Octyl Mercaptan (1-octanethiol) is used as an antioxidant intermediate to minimize undesirable effects from process such as the stabilization of tin. Nom can be used to improve charge injection by creating a monolayer of this material on gold source-drain electrode surfaces for bottom-contact thin-film transistors (TFTs)
