The polymer of poly (3-hexylthiophene) was active layer in application such as solar cells. In this paper, P3HT has been chosed to know the effect of temperature onto P3HT. The optical properties of P3HT were measured by using photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and UV-Vis measurement. The polymer of P3HT has been spin coated on the glass by using spin-coating method for thin films produced. The temperature was measured start at 60°C to 180 o C. From PL result the peak was exist at range 500-600 nm and started moved to left side when temperature increase. The UV-Vis result showed at range 400-500 nm towards to blue shifted. After heat treatment, the optical absorption spectra for the thin film of P3HT on the glass showed a distinct red-shifted with developing vibronic features of P3HT and the quenched photoluminescence (PL) spectrum was considerably restored .Keywords: P3HT; temperature; Uv-Vis; photoluminescence; PL; I-V

The Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were fabricated by the direct solution coating method using a novel non-particulate ink. The ink was formulated using ethanol as the solvent and 1,2-diaminopropane as the complex-ing agent. The pure phase kesterite films with good crystallinity, large-sized crystals and excellent electrical properties were prepared by the spin-coating deposition technique using the homogeneous and air-stable ink. It was found that the subsequent pre-treatment temperature had an influence on the film crystallinity and electrical properties. The best film was obtained by pre-treating the spin-coated film at 250 °C, and then post-annealing at 560 °C. The film shows a narrow bandgap of 1.52 eV and excellent electrical properties, with a resistivity of 0.07 Ocm, carrier concentration of 3.0 x 1017 cm-3, and mobility of 4.15 cm2 V-1 s-1. The novel non-particulate ink is promising for printing high quality CZTS thin films as absorber layers of thin film solar cells.

Abstract In this study, undoped semiconductor ZnO thin film and Bi-doped ZnO thin films were produced using the sol-gel spin coating method. By changing each parameter of the spin coating method, the best conditions for the formation of the film were determined via the trial and error method. When the appropriate parameter was found, the specified parameter was applied for each film. The structural, superficial, and optical properties of the films produced were characterized via atomic force microscope (AFM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and the effects of Bi dopant on these properties were investigated. When the morphological properties of the undoped and Bi-doped ZnO films were examined, it was observed that they had a structure in a micro-fiber shape consisting of nanoparticles. When the surface roughness was examined, it was observed that the surface roughness values became larger as the rate of Bi dopant increased. By examining the optical properties of the films, it was determined that they were direct band transition materials and Bi-doped thin films were involved in the semiconductor range. In addition, optical properties changed positively with Bi dopant. Since Bi-doped ZnO thin film has a wide bandgap and good optical properties, it is a material that can be used in optoelectronic applications.

Ito Thin Films

In this paper, the indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by a sol-gel spin coating method and then annealed under different temperatures (400, 500 and 550°C) in a mixture atmosphere of 3.75% H2 with 96.25% N2 gases. The microstructure, optical and electrical properties of the prepared films were investigated and discussed. The XRD patterns of the ITO thin films indicated the main peak of the (222) plane and showed a high degree of crystallinity with an increase of the annealing temperature. In addition, due to the pores existing in the prepared films, the optical and electrical properties of the prepared films are degraded through the sol-gel process. Thus, the best transmittance of 70.0 %in the visible wavelength region and the lowest resistivity of about 1.1×10-2 Ω-cm were obtained when the prepared film was annealed at 550°C.
