Abstract
In this research, ac measurements of copper phthalocyanine thin film using aluminium electrodes are investigated in the frequency range 102 to 105 Hz and within the temperature range frequency and the capacitance and dissipation factor(loss tangent) decrease with increasing relative importance of the hopping model and band theory in describing the film condution with regard to the operating conditions. It was observed that the band theory is dominant at high frequencies and high temperatures, whereas hopping model is dominant at low frequencies. The energy gap of CuPc was determined using dc measurements.
