The Ossila Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) Fabrication Manual
You can download a PDF of the full guide here
Ossila’s pre-patterned ITO substrates are used for a wide variety of teaching and research devices (both organic and inorganic) where a high quality ITO surface is required.
Fabricating devices using these substrates is designed to be quick and easy and in this guide we demonstrate how to make standard OLEDs and OPVs. We've tried to include every detail that we can in this manual so that you can produce efficient devices with as little effort as possible.
For the reference devices described here, there are seven basic steps that take you from substrates to devices ready for measurement. These steps are identical for both OLEDs and OPVs with the exception of the active layer.
- substrate cleaning
- apply PEDOT:PSS
- apply active layer
- solvent anneal (optional)
- evaporate cathode
- thermally anneal
- encapsulate
Within this guide, you will find detailed information on each of these steps along with any additional know-how that we have generated which enables better fabrication. Don't forget to view the Ossila fabrication video to see the fabrication process in action.
