[19a-231C-7] Study of Thermal Conversion of a Pentacene Precursor in a Thin Film Using pMAIRS
Keywords:pentacene precursor, wet process, pMAIRS
A solution-processed thin film of pentacene is prepared from a solution-processed film of a solvent-soluble PEN precursor via a thermal treatment. In the present study, the mechanism of thermal conversion is investigated by using the IR pMAIRS technique. The conversion is found to comprise by two steps: 1) the conversion reaction of the precursor to PEN, and 2) the orientation change of PEN in the thin film.
