PECVD (Plasma Enhanced) PECVD (Plasma Enhanced) - produces organic thin film - produces organic thin film by growing silicon by growing silicon dioxide/poly-silicondioxide/poly-silicon
Furnace is LPCVD (Low Furnace is LPCVD (Low Pressure) – same function Pressure) – same function as PECVD requiring longer as PECVD requiring longer time for processing but better time for processing but better qualityquality Wet Bench

PhotolithographyPhotolithography Includes following Includes following
processes in order: priming, processes in order: priming, putting on photo resist (PR), putting on photo resist (PR), pre-baking, UV exposure pre-baking, UV exposure with mask, and then hard with mask, and then hard bakebake Exposure - uses a mask to Exposure - uses a mask to
allow entrance of UV light to allow entrance of UV light to hit target wafer, which causes hit target wafer, which causes chemical reaction with the PRchemical reaction with the PR

Fabrication of DSSCFabrication of DSSCFinal steps to putting together our DSSC cell:
Put on electrolytes
Place the ITO glass carefully on top of the side with the electrolytes
Hold the ITO glass in place with something
