Abstract
Thinfilmsofnickelphthalocyanine(NiPc)werepreparedbythermalevaporationandthe
effectsofannealingtemperatureonthestructuralandopticalpropertiesofthesamples
werestudiedusingdifferentanalyticalmethods.Structuralanalysisshowedthatthegrain
sizeandcrystallinityofNiPcfilmsimprovedasannealingtemperatureincreasedfrom25to
150 1C. Also,maximumgrainsize(71.3nm)wasobtainedat150 1C annealingtemperature.
In addition,NiPcfilmsannealedat150 1C hadaverysmoothsurfacewithanRMSroughness
of 0.41nm.Opticalanalysisindicatedthatbandgapenergyoffilmsatdifferentannealing

thehighestrectificationratio(23.1)andlowestbarrierheight(0.84eV)demonstrating,
respectively,23%and11%increasecomparedwiththoseofthedepositedNiPcfilms.
Meanwhile,photoconversionbehavioroffilmsannealedat150 1C underillumination
