This facility offers a host of fabrication and characterization services for the organic thin films, crystals, composites and multilayer devices.  Complex multi-layer devices or composites can be fabricated and characterized under clean, inert environment.  A double glove box with integrated vacuum deposition chamber and spin coater can be used for physical vapor deposition of metals (electrodes) and small molecule organics (organic light emitting devices, for example) and spin coating of polymers in a clean, inert environment.  Both optical (luminescence intensity and spectra) and electrical characterization (I/V curve for example) of the materials can be carried out within the glove box. 

Mbraun Labmaster double glove box system with gas purification system, O2 and H2O analyzers, and HEPA filtration
This system is a two chamber glove box system with a spincoater (Specialty Coating Systems Model P6700) integrated into the smaller glove box chamber and an
Edwards thermal deposition chamber with four sources integrated into the larger box.
A 150°C vacuum oven/antechamber is mounted to one end of the glove box.
