Abstract
The precise control of organic thin film processing by organic vapor phase deposition (OVPD$^{\circledR}$) is presented and analyzed on device level. OVPD$^{\circledR}$ offers accurate and individual control of deposition layer properties like mixing of several materials (co-deposition) and the control of various morphologies by a wide process parameter space given by, e.g. substrate temperature, deposition rate and pressure. The benefit of precise co-deposition is demonstrated by an OLED with a sensitive twofold-doped emissive layer and revealed a doping level of 0.26% for the red dopant with a std. dev. of 0.38%. The effect of the various morphologies is investigated by optimizing the efficiency of molecular organic solar cells consisting of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and C60. With defined process parameters efficiencies of up to 3.0% were demonstrated.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
