A new thin film synthesis route based on the electrochemical oxidation of PcLi2 and deposition of lithium phthalocyanine (PcLi) onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate is demonstrated. The effects on the thin film morphology of various parameters such as the electrolysis time, the nature of the solvent, and the oxidation potential are investigated. The thin film growth is studied via x-ray diffraction, potential step experiments, and ex situ scanning electron microscopy. Various morphologies of the x-form thin films are observed for different electrolysis times and solvents. Thin films grown in acetonitrile of thickness above 1 μm consist in unidirectionally oriented needle-shaped crystallites.

Here, we report on adding an important dimension to the fundamental understanding of the evolution of the thin film micro structure evolution. Thin films have gained broad attention in their applications for electro-optical devices, solar-cell technology, as well storage devices. Deep insights into fundamental functionalities can be realized via studying crystallization microstructure and formation processes of polycrystalline or epitaxial thin films. Besides the fundamental aspects, it is industrially important to minimize cost which intrinsically requires lower energy consumption at increasing performance which requires new approaches to thin film growth in general. Here, we present a state of the art sputtering technique that allows for time-resolved in situ studies of such thin film growth with a special focus on the crystallization via small angle scattering and X-ray diffraction. Focusing on the crystallization of the example material of BaTiO3, we demonstrate how a prototypical thin film forms and how detailed all phases of the structural evolution can be identified. The technique is shaped to enable a versatile approach for understanding and ultimately controlling a broad variety of growth processes, and more over it demonstrate how to in situ investigate the influence of single high temperature sputtering parameters on the film quality. It is shown that the whole evolution from nucleation, diffusion adsorption and grain growth to the crystallization can be observed during all stages of thin film growth as well as quantitatively as qualitatively. This can be used to optimize thin-film quality, efficiency and performance.
