Abstract
The aim of this research is to introduce the alternative process named "Rapid Convective Deposition" to obtain organic thin film in nanometer scale. There are several advantages of this method, including simply control film thickness via solution concentration and translational speed as well as significantly reduce required material leading to lower manufacturing cost. The specific properties of thin film were characterized by the combinations of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. To confirm that the convective deposition has a potential to become a candidate method using to prepare thin film, the films prepared by conventional spin coating and alternative convective deposition were compared in term of processing e.g. required solution as well as processing time and film's properties e.g. thickness, morphology and uniformity of the film. The results indicate that the rapid convective deposition is able to provide similar film's quality as obtain from spin coating but requires less processing time and required solution to prepare the nanoscale organic thin film.
