1 Introduction

Zinc(II)-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) is a promising material fororganic electronics especially photovoltaic devices It hasalready been applied in prototypes of solar cells [1ndash4] Fur-thermore it is already known that phthalocyanines (includ-ing ZnPc) can exist in multiple types of crystalline phases[5] in particular the metastable 120572-ZnPc (higher electricalconductivity) and the stable120573-ZnPc (lower electrical conduc-tivity) [6] need to be distinguished Structural analysis of bothphases and detailed information about the phase transitionas shown in [7] are needed to set suitable constraints for anumerical model to determine the optical constants of 120572-and 120573-ZnPc Once the optical constants are known theycan be used for modeling layer systems or even photovoltaicdevices or vice versa for a nondestructive optical analysis ofthe crystallinity of ZnPc layers Here we present a reliablemethod for the determination of optical constants of organicthin films where the surface roughness is taken into accountFinally we present a detailed dataset of optical constants forpolycrystalline 120572- and 120573-ZnPc covering an energy intervalfrom 12 eV to 50 eV

2 Methodology

Thin films of ZnPc were prepared via physical vapor deposi-tion on quartz glass Quartz glass was used as substrate dueto the low absorbance in a broad spectral range (119896 lt 10minus7

between 300 nm and 850 nm) After thorough in situdegassing the ZnPc powder obtained from Sigma-Aldrichwith 97 chemical purity was thermally evaporated from aceramic crucible in a tungsten boat and deposited at a rateof 06 As under high vacuum conditions (pressure 119901 sim10minus5mbar) To realize the growth of the 120572 phase ZnPc was

deposited on substrates kept at room temperature [8] Aphase transition from 120572-ZnPc to 120573-ZnPc upon annealinghas been demonstrated in the literature [7 9 10] Here thestable 120573-ZnPc phase was obtained from the metastable 120572-ZnPc samples via annealing under ambient conditions for3 h at 240∘C and above Films of both phases with differentthicknesses from 30 nm up to 150 nm were examined bymeans of a Varian Cary 5000 UV-Vis spectrophotometerThetransmission measurements were done using a light beamperpendicular to the sample surface while the angle of inci-dence is 12∘ in reflection geometry In both cases unpolarizedlight was used The spectrophotometer was operated in adual-channel mode which enhances the long-term (severalhours) stability significantly The scanning velocity was setto 300 nmmin (averaging time 02 s) in the NIR region and120 nmmin (averaging time 05 s) in the UV-Vis region witha fixed spectral bandwidth of 5 nm and 4 nm respectivelyThe resulting resolution is by far sufficient for the typicallinewidths of organic thin films at room temperature Themeasured optical spectra were analyzed by a numericalalgorithm implemented in Wolfram Mathematica 8 in orderto extract the complex refractive index (119864) = 119899(119864) minus 119894119896(119864)

of the thin film where 119899(119864) and 119896(119864) denote the photon-energy-dependent refractive index and extinction coefficientrespectively

The determination of the optical constants is possible bymeans of a simultaneous analysis of transmission (T) andreflectance (R) spectra However here the reflectance datawere replaced by differential reflectance spectra (DRS) [11ndash13] Thereby the need for a calibrated mirror can be avoidedIn the following the basic ideas of the numerical algorithmwill be explained In order to interpret the measured opticalspectra of ZnPc thin films the numerical treatment is basedon a layer model consisting of the substrate and the organicthin film as well We used the generalized matrix formalismbased on the Fresnel formulas for mixed coherent and inco-herent layers as outlined in [14] In order to improve our layermodel we analyzed the interfaces by non-contact atomicforcemicroscopy (nc-AFM) [7] Accordingly the root-mean-square (rms) roughness (sometimes also denoted by thesymbol 119877

119902

) of as-deposited as well as annealed films of ZnPcwas found to be small but not insignificant with respect to thefilm thickness 119889 (rms119889 lt 20 for 120572-ZnPc and rms119889 lt 5for 120573-ZnPc) Hence for an accurate determination of the

optical constants the values obtained for the surface rough-ness at the air-to-ZnPc interface have to be taken intoaccount This was done by modified Fresnel coefficientsconsidering only partial coherence due to phase differences ofthe transmitted and reflected beams by Gaussian-distributedirregularities as outlined in [15] Because of the azimuthalorientation of the grains the in-plane component of theoptical anisotropy can be neglectedThe substrate was treatedas incoherent due to its rather large thickness (063mm) withrespect to the coherence length of the light This means thatwe indeed account for multiple reflections at both substrateinterfaces but internal interference effects do not contributeto the signal An optical characterization of the quartz glasssubstrate used was done by transmission measurements inthe UV visual and near-infrared spectral region in order toextract the refractive index individually assuming negligibleabsorption (119896 = 0)

As a matter of fact no dispersion model for ZnPc isrequired in the calculation Accordingly the algorithm startswith a set of optical constants that is the refractive index119899(1198641

) and the extinction coefficient 119896(1198641

The index 119895 is used to distinguish between the differentsamples with different thicknesses Each signal of T and DRSwas weighted by a factor 119860(119895)(119864) as described in [17] in orderto equalize the information 119883(119895)(119864) from all spectra havingoriginally differentmagnitudes119860(119895)(119864) is calculated from theminimal (119899 = 1 119896 = 0) and maximal (119899 = 3 119896 = 1) valuesof the refractive index and extinction coefficient expected forphthalocyanine thin films [16] The advantage of this proce-dure is that the layer thickness can be optimized as well usingthe nominal thicknesses as starting values By doing so it isimportant to cover an appropriate thickness range of layersfitted simultaneously as only thickness-dependent internalinterference effects contribute significant new information tothe fitting procedure Moreover it was found that the fit isthen rather robust against different starting values for thefilm thickness even if they are far from real The rms valueswere treated as fitting parameters likewise except the firstrms value which belongs to the 30 nm ZnPc film where nosignificant gradient in the objective function was found Thefit itself was carried out by means of a Levenberg-Marquardtalgorithm

the resulting spectra of the optical constants for 120572-ZnPcand 120573-ZnPc are shown Furthermore the optimized filmthicknesses and respective rms values including the standarddeviations of the fit are shown in Table 1

The optical constants for 120572-ZnPc and 120573-ZnPc thin filmsobtained reproduce the spectral measurements very nicelyAs one can see the residuals are very small compared to thetransmission data The edge at 350 nm (354 eV) is caused bythe internal light source changeover of the spectrophotome-ter used but is smaller than the mean residuals and thereforehas no significant influence

The results were checked afterwards for Kramers-Kronigconsistency As described by Nitsche et al [17] the integralcan be split into an additive offset which is energy indepen-dent and an integral the over important region (12 eV to26 eV energetically lowest optical absorption band) whichshows the spectral characteristics to be analyzed In thisregion model-free Kramers-Kronig consistency was con-firmedThe numerically obtained rms values are in very goodagreement with those from our own nc-AFM images [7]and those presented in [18] Without considering the surfaceroughness the fit is less suitable which results in slightly dif-ferent optical constants especially in the ultraviolet spectralregion Our data of 120572-ZnPc compare favorably with thoseof the almost identical molecule copper(II)-phthalocyanine(CuPc 120572-phase) from [16 19]

The determination of the optical constants is possible bymeans of a simultaneous analysis of transmission (T) andreflectance (R) spectra However here the reflectance datawere replaced by differential reflectance spectra (DRS) [11ndash13] Thereby the need for a calibrated mirror can be avoidedIn the following the basic ideas of the numerical algorithmwill be explained In order to interpret the measured opticalspectra of ZnPc thin films the numerical treatment is basedon a layer model consisting of the substrate and the organicthin film as well We used the generalized matrix formalismbased on the Fresnel formulas for mixed coherent and inco-herent layers as outlined in [14] In order to improve our layermodel we analyzed the interfaces by non-contact atomicforcemicroscopy (nc-AFM) [7] Accordingly the root-mean-square (rms) roughness (sometimes also denoted by thesymbol 119877

119902

) of as-deposited as well as annealed films of ZnPcwas found to be small but not insignificant with respect to thefilm thickness 119889 (rms119889 lt 20 for 120572-ZnPc and rms119889 lt 5for 120573-ZnPc) Hence for an accurate determination of the

optical constants the values obtained for the surface rough-ness at the air-to-ZnPc interface have to be taken intoaccount This was done by modified Fresnel coefficientsconsidering only partial coherence due to phase differences ofthe transmitted and reflected beams by Gaussian-distributedirregularities as outlined in [15] Because of the azimuthalorientation of the grains the in-plane component of theoptical anisotropy can be neglectedThe substrate was treatedas incoherent due to its rather large thickness (063mm) withrespect to the coherence length of the light This means thatwe indeed account for multiple reflections at both substrateinterfaces but internal interference effects do not contributeto the signal An optical characterization of the quartz glasssubstrate used was done by transmission measurements inthe UV visual and near-infrared spectral region in order toextract the refractive index individually assuming negligibleabsorption (119896 = 0)

As a matter of fact no dispersion model for ZnPc isrequired in the calculation Accordingly the algorithm startswith a set of optical constants that is the refractive index119899(1198641

) and the extinction coefficient 119896(1198641

the resulting spectra of the optical constants for 120572-ZnPcand 120573-ZnPc are shown Furthermore the optimized filmthicknesses and respective rms values including the standarddeviations of the fit are shown in Table 1

The optical constants for 120572-ZnPc and 120573-ZnPc thin filmsobtained reproduce the spectral measurements very nicelyAs one can see the residuals are very small compared to thetransmission data The edge at 350 nm (354 eV) is caused bythe internal light source changeover of the spectrophotome-ter used but is smaller than the mean residuals and thereforehas no significant influence

The results were checked afterwards for Kramers-Kronigconsistency As described by Nitsche et al [17] the integralcan be split into an additive offset which is energy indepen-dent and an integral the over important region (12 eV to26 eV energetically lowest optical absorption band) whichshows the spectral characteristics to be analyzed In thisregion model-free Kramers-Kronig consistency was con-firmedThe numerically obtained rms values are in very goodagreement with those from our own nc-AFM images [7]and those presented in [18] Without considering the surfaceroughness the fit is less suitable which results in slightly dif-ferent optical constants especially in the ultraviolet spectralregion Our data of 120572-ZnPc compare favorably with thoseof the almost identical molecule copper(II)-phthalocyanine(CuPc 120572-phase) from [16 19]
