Oxidative chemical vapor deposition of conductive polymers for use in novel photovoltaic device architectures
… parameters (e.g. temperature, oxidant exposure, rinsing) were characterized based on their physical and electrical properties. It was found that acid rinsing of the already deposited films led to lower sheet resistance and surface roughness and an improvement in film stability. The oCVD PEDOT has …
