Abstract
Pentacene stands out as a model molecule among organic semiconductors due to its ability to form well-ordered films that show a high field effect mobility. We discuss the processes involved in pentacene film growth, emphasizing differences with respect to inorganic films. The influence of growth parameters such as the substrate nature and temperature, the deposition rate, and the kinetic energy of the molecular beam on the structure and morphology of pentacene films are discussed. Finally, we overview recent attempts to model pentacene film nucleation and growth, and draw attention to the role of dislocations.
