Crystalline Organic Film Fabrication and Characterization
The Organic Film Fabrication and Characterization system consists of a two deposition chambers connected via ultra-high vacuum to an analysis chamber. The system has a total of 8 deposition sources, capable of depositing crystalline organic films and metals.
(below) The Organic Molecular Beam Deposition (OMBD) chamber grows organic films in a finely controlled, MBE-like environment. It contains four K-cells for organic materials, whose growth rate and conditions can be measured in-situ using RHEED.
(below) A vacuum thermal evaporation chamber equipped with four thermal sources capable of depositing both organics and metals. This chamber is primarily used for depositing electrodes on organic thin film devices.
(below) The analysis chamber primarily houses an electron analyzer, which can be used with both X-ray and UV excitation sources for conducting photoelectron spectroscopy. This tool can be used to measure the work fuction of metal films and the highest occupied molecular orbital levels in organic films. The analysis chamber also contains a probing station for measuring device characteristics while under ultra-high vacuum.
