    PEDOT:PSS films are prepared using convective deposition system. The convective deposition system is designed and controlled by a low-cost Arduino microcontroller. The microcontroller shows suitable potential for the system operation with good performance. Then, the system was applied to prepare PEDOT:PSS films and the prepared films are characterized. The prepared films reveal the increase in roughness and thickness for the high-velocity operation which could be occurred due to turbulent flows of PEDOT:PSS molecules. The result causes a decrease in transmittance, resistance, and water contact angle. For organic photovoltaic application, the enhanced power conversion efficiency is observed in corresponding to the increased short-circuit current density due to carrier transport efficiency improvement in organic photovoltaic devices provided by rough surfaces and thick films. The success of organic photovoltaic fabrication confirms the accepting ability of the convective deposition system controlled by Arduino microcontroller for non-vacuum thin film deposition. Thus, it should be considered as a usefulness system for thin-film based device fabrication with a low-cost operation.

    Surface modification of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) film was performed using chemical vapor texturing process of HNO<inf>3</inf> vapor. Textured PEDOT:PSS film exhibits higher root-mean-square roughness of 14.43 nm than pristine PEDOT:PSS film of 11.87 nm with small decrease in thickness. Moreover, approximate one-half reduction of sheet resistance is measured. In correspondence with roughness, increasing optical transmittance in the visible region and reducing water contact angle are explored. The reduction of water contact angle implies that active layer can be deposited on the textured film with better coverage to improve interfacial contact for OPV fabricating process. This improvement facilitates charge transfer in OPV device which causes the increase of short-circuit current density (J<inf>sc</inf>) from 7.42 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> to 8.01 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>. The increased J<inf>sc</inf> is the major photovoltaic parameter in OPV enhancement. Therefore, the PEDOT:PSS film textured with the chemical vapor texturing process is demonstrated as an efficient rough film for OPV enhancement. Furthermore, the rough film modified using the process could be suggested for applying in several thin-film based devices.
