Magnetron sputtered vs. thermally evaporated gold contacts in phthalocyanine-based thin film devices

Sandwich-type ITO/phthalocyanine/Au cells, where top gold contact was deposited by either thermal evaporation or magnetron sputtering, have been fabricated. Comparison of electrical characteristics of these cells revealed important distinctions, which are associated with the deposition method.
