efficiency (3.0 vs 3.5%) for the two fabricationmethods demonstrates the versatility of our DCV5T-Bu4 material in contrast to, e.g., a merocyanine dye reported in literature (2.9 vs 4.9%) [43] or squarine dye (2.7 vs 4.1%) [44].
Conclusion
We have demonstrated that the acceptor-substituted quinquethiophene

resin cast of the pillars, coated with metal films, allows us to invert the structure and obtain arrays of triangular holes within the metal. Both fabricationmethods illustrate the preparation of large arrays of nanocavities within metal films at low cost.
Gold films of different thicknesses were
sensitivity of these effects to the shape and size of the structures means that we require good reproducibility in the fabrication technique and good knowledge of the optical properties. However, some applications demand structures of extended size. Thus, the optimization of fabricationmethods is intimately
