Fabrication and characterization of polymeric semiconductors based on Phthalocyanine Green
Abstract
In the present study, organic semiconductor composite films were manufactured, based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as matrix, and copper phthalocyanine green (CuPc Green) as reinforcement. The films were deposited by the direct injection technique, using Corning glass substrates, silicon-n wafers, and indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass. The morphology and mechanical properties of the films were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Subsequently, the PMMA-CuPc Green composite films were analyzed in their optical properties by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), in order to obtain the percentage of Transmittance, the Absorbance and, with these parameters, the absorption coefficient, the energy of the photon and, consequently, the optical bandgap. Finally, simple single-layer devices were fabricated, and their electrical properties were evaluated, using the four-prong collinear method. In addition, the devices were subjected to different radiation conditions, to determine the possible application of PMMA-CuPc Green semiconductor films, in optoelectronic devices.
