本篇論文主要探討以石墨加熱慢升溫法(quartz tube deposited)與鎢舟加熱快升溫法(tungsten boat deposited)蒸鍍之氯化硼亞酞菁(subphthalocyanine，SubPc)薄膜所製備之有機太陽能電池光電轉換效率不同的原因，以及這兩種太陽能電池的衰退機制。實驗中我們發現，以鎢舟加熱快升溫法蒸鍍之SubPc做為Donor的有機太陽能電池元件，具有較高的開路電壓(VOC)以及填充因子(FF)，因此具有較高的光電轉換效率(~4%)。在連續照光量測元件壽命實驗中，我們發現鎢舟加熱快升溫法製作的太陽能電池效率的衰退主要來自於光電流(JSC)的衰退而石墨加熱慢升溫法製作的太陽能電池，效率衰退主要來自於開路電壓以及光電流的衰退，而且後者效率衰退的速度較前者快。本篇論文提供了一個簡單的製程方法，製做出高效率的有機太陽能電池，並探討了其效率衰退的原因。

In this thesis, we investigate the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and lifetime difference of SubPc/C60 based organic solar cells with different SubPc sublimation methods, the tube deposition and the boat deposition. We find out the boat deposited SubPc solar cell exhibited higher open circuit voltage (VOC) and fill factor than tube deposited SubPc solar cell and leaded to higher power conversion efficiency (~4%).
In the continue illumination lifetime experiment, we find out the PCE decay of tube deposited SubPc solar cell comes from the degradation of VOC and JSC whereas the PCE decay of boat deposited SubPc solar cell was attributed to JSC mainly. Therefore, the PCE decay of tube deposited SubPc solar cell was faster than boat deposited SubPc solar cell. This thesis gave an easy way to fabricate a high PCE solar cell and discuss the mechanism of OPV lifetime.
