Material and Device Fabrication

  • Creation of solution-processable and vacuum-deposited thin and thick film materials.
  • Complete device fabrication and testing within an integrated 25 ft glovebox system.
  • Class 10000 cleanroom equipped with sub-micrometer ultraviolet lithography capabilities.
  • Precision sub-100 nm scale electron beam lithography.

Sample Characterization

  • Analysis of device and surface geometry, including roughness, height, morphology, thickness, and structure from millimeters to nanometers.
  • Determination of materials structure and composition via ellipsometry and spectrophotometry.
  • Assessment of optical characteristics such as reflection, transmission, and absorption.
  • Mechanical properties evaluation, including microindentation, hardness, scratch, and wear analysis.
  • Electronic properties measurements, including 4-point probe measurements and standard solar cell performance tests.
  • Fluorescent and photo-luminescent material analysis through fluorometry.
