Pentacene thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated by thermal evaporation of the organic molecules. The structure of the vacuum deposited pentacene thin films is very sensitive to numerous deposition parameters. The pentacene thin films were characterized to study the effect of substrate temperature during the deposition in order to maximize grain sizes and the effect of annealing to improve the current paths through the grains of pentacene thin films. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the higher substrate temperature resulted in the larger grain size. Subsequent annealing enhances dense packing of grains by reducing the space between them. The results also suggested that the evolution of the film growth is very sensitive to the crystal quality of the initial state of growth close to the substrate film interface.
