Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research

In March 2015, OPERA moved its facilities into the newly constructed Co-Evolutional Social Systems Building on the Ito Campus of Kyushu University. The new facilities house wide variety of equipment for the creation and characterization of new materials, films, and devices with over 2,200 m2 of laboratory space including fully-equipped synthesis labs for over 30 people and a 1,300 m2 clean room.

1st Floor

Clean room
From substrate preparation to film deposition, all steps of device fabrication can be accomplished in the cleanroom. Attached gloveboxes allow for the unloading of completed devices directly into inert atmosphere.	By loading substrates and materials in the vacuum deposition system (ULVAC) from the attached glovebox, devices can be fabricated without exposure to atmosphere.
A wide range of multilayered devices can be made with this versatile vacuum deposition system (ALS) comprised of organic (8 sources), metal (2 sources plus e-beam gun), and sputter chambers. Devices can be unloaded into the adjoined glovebox for encapsulation.	Electron beam lithography The e-beam lithography system (Jeol), with an accelerating voltage of 50 kV and a minimum line width of 3 nm, can be used for the microfabrication of DFB mirrors and light extraction structures.
physics laboratory	NMR
Device-level electro-optic characterization of OLED, OFET, and OSC devices fabricated in the cleanroom and molecular-level observation of thin films by ultrahigh vacuum AFM (Jeol) can be performed.	The structures of newly synthesized organic compounds can be identified using the 500 MHz NMR (Bruker), and the structure of thin films can be analyzed by XRD (Rigaku).
