Abstract: Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) is an important versatile organic material, attracting increasingly more attention because of its unusual stability and photoelectric properties. Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) films, grown by vacuum sublimation, were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and ultra-violet visible spectrometry. Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/Aluminum (Al) Schottky solar cells were also studied by changing the thickness of the CuPc layer.

Key words: organic material, solar cells, vacuum sublimation, copper phthalocyanine
