Abstract

We have investigated thin film morphology of pentacene thin films by the process of low-pressure gas assisted organic vapor deposition (LP-GAOVD). Source temperature, inert gas flow rate, substrate temperature and deposition pressure during film deposition is used to vary the growth rate, thin film morphology and the crystalline grain size of pentacene thin films. The electrical properties of pentacene thin films for applications in organic thin film transistor and electrophoretic displays will be discussed.
