The Materials for Opto/Electronics Research and Education (MORE) Center at Case Western Reserve University is home to the Polymer Photovoltaic Facility. 

A 25-foot Innovative Technology glovebox suite contains everything necessary to construct and characterize optoelectronic devices in an inert environment, such as organic solar cells and transistors, including:

  1. Solvent glovebox with a Laurel Technology WS-400 spin coater, hot plates, vacuum oven, and deposition capabilities with substrate heating.
    A metal machine with two metal doors.
  2. Glovebox integrated Angstrom Engineering Evovac with e-beam and thermal evaporation, and DC & RF sputtering. Deposition capabilities include a wide range of metals and oxides. (See photo)
  3. Glovebox integrated Oriel Sol2A solar simulator and Keithley IV station.
  4. Glovebox integrated Micromanipulator 4-point probe station and Keithley 2636B SMU.
  5. PV Measurements QEX10 external quantum efficiency measurement system.
