Abstract

Pentacene thin films are studied with three different and not invasive techniques to assess their capability to identify the thin-film thickness (in this research from 50nm to 300 nm). Atomic Force Microscopy can detect the morphology of a surface and therefore the thickness at the edge of a scratch in the layer. X-ray spectroscopy can assess the presence of a bulk-phase and a thin-film phase related to the thickness of a pentacene layer. Finally the photocurrent spectroscopy, carried out on pentacene thin-film transistors, can measure the density of states distribution around the band edge and show the increase of the Davydov splitting related to a particular thickness. This information is extremely useful in the implementation of electronic devices like Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFT), Organic LEDs and solar cells.
