The p–n junction solar cells consisting of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and perylenetetra caboxylic-acid dibenzimidazole (PV) show stronger structure and thickness dependence. The devices with the structure of ITO/CuPc/PV/Ag possess better properties than devices with the structure ITO/PV/CuPc/Au. The reason is because the absorption peak of PV is located just in the absorption window of CuPc, which makes the CuPc/PV structures have higher absorption efficiency than the PV/CuPc structures. It is a fact that the photo-absorbance near the p–n interface determines all the properties of the solar cell, which is the active centre of the devices. The length of the active centre is centred in the p–n interface within a 24 nm region. The thickness dependence further enhanced the conclusions. Moreover, in different structures the thickness dependence follows different rules because of the difference in absorbed photons in the active centre of the solar cells.
