摘要
Annealing is reported as an effective process to improve electrical properties of organic semiconducting films. The mechanical properties of pentacene and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)) films annealed at 140 degrees C were investigated in this study by nanoindentation testing. AFM observations of as-coated and annealed pentacene films indicate grain growth from 160 to 258nm. The annealing process decreases pentacene and Alq(3) film hardness by 23 and 36% from those of the as-coated films, 0.643 and 0.523 GPa. Grain growth and decreasing hardness are attributed to thermal diffusion and recrystallization of molecules.
