ABSTRACT: Copper phthalocyanine
(CuPc) amorphous film was successfully deposited on a silicone substrate by
physical vapor deposition. When the film was in contact with a common solvent
such as aniline, 1-propanol and toluene, the CuPc solid film was partially
dissolved followed by nucleation and crystal growth in the solution. Based on
these experimental results, we propose a novel method for preparation of the
organic thin film by combination of dry and wet processes.
