Abstract

An emission system for presenting visual image is disclosed. The emissive system typically contains first electrodes (90) deposited over and in contact with a substrate. One or more conjugated organic buffer layers (40) are then deposited over and in contact with the first electrodes, and second electrodes (22) are subsequently deposited over the conjugated organic buffer layers. The conjugated organic buffer layers (40) regulate current flow between the first electrodes (90) and the second electrodes (22). Either before or after the deposition of each conjugated organic buffer layer (40), but before the deposition of the second electrodes (22), conjugated organic deposits (34, 36, 38) are ink-jet printed such that they are in contact with at least one conjugated organic buffer layer. The conjugated organic deposits (34, 36, 38) help to generate an indicator when a voltage stimulus is applied across the first electrodes (90) and the second electrodes (22). Depending on the material of the conjugated organic deposits (34, 36, 38), the indicator may be luminescence, fluorescence, conductivity, or the like. A voltage source is used for selectively applying the voltage stimulus across the first electrodes (90) and the second electrodes (22).

Description

Utilize ink-jet printing technology to make method and the device and the system that utilizes this device of organic semiconductor device
The background of invention
1, FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to organic semiconductor device, particularly utilize ink-jet printing technology to make the method for organic semiconductor device, and the system of device and this device of use.
2, the introduction of correlation technique
For example inorganic semiconductor such as silicon generally is used to make modern semiconductors and photonic device.The processing of these inorganic semiconductor devices may be complicated and expensive, and the polishing that generally comprises for example crystal growth, section and wafer reaches processing steps such as forming integrated electronic circuit on wafer.By comparison, conventional polymer (being called plastics sometimes) is easier to processing.For example, the manufacturing of conventional plastic parts comprises for example with the better simply processing steps such as plastic material injection mould that melt.Conventional polymer also has characteristics such as pliable and tough and in light weight, can the high surface area manufacturing.Yet conventional plastics are not semiconductive, therefore can not be used for producing the semiconductor devices.
Conjugated polymer is a kind of organic material that combines the machinability of semi-conductive electricity and optical characteristics and conventional plastics.The semiconduction of conjugated polymer comes from and for example is formed on poly-(phenylene vinylidene), polythiophene (PT), poly-(2-methoxyl group-5-(2 '-ethyl-own oxygen base)-1, the delocalization π track in the 4-phenylene vinylidene carbon compounds such as (MEH-PPV).Different with conventional polymer, conjugated polymer contains makes the material semiconductive and on-insulated two keys.Conjugated polymer has the advantage of low-cost processing, and is pliable and tough, in light weight, and has the large-scale processing of conventional polymer, and has the common semiconductive characteristic of silicon.
Conjugated polymer device general using spin-coating method is made.Make the substrate that contains big dropping liquid attitude conjugated polymer around the axle high speed rotating, make liquid conjugated polymer to outflow, thereby use the material film coated substrates, this spin-coating method has utilized the advantage of polymer solution processability.Yet still there be the shortcoming relevant with spin coating in this method.The substrate because most liquid conjugated polymers have flown out is not coated on the substrate surface, and spin coating has caused the waste of solution.In addition, because any protrusion all can produce shadow effect when liquid organic material intersperses among on the substrate surface,, can stay radially vestige of thin organic material in the back of defective so spin-coating method is very sensitive to the dust on the substrate surface or other defective.
Do not allow manageable liquid conjugated polymers logistics also can't form the figure of hope during the spin coating, limited the commerce of conjugated polymer and used.For example, be clipped in two interelectrode luminescent conjugated polymers and can be used for making LEDs and luminous sign (light-emitting logos, LELs), but the conjugated polymer that spin coating forms not the composition individual layer this device is restricted to monochrome devices, and need carry out composition to electrode.In addition, because the two keys in the conjugated organic materials can be destroyed because of photoetching process, can't be used for the composition conjugated polymer layer so generally be used to form the photoetching technique of composition electrode.
Another kind of organic semiconducting materials is the little organic molecule class of conjugation.Here conjugation organic compound (organic substance) is defined as and comprises polymer (each strand has the organic substance of two above repetitives) and little organic molecule (organic substance that individual molecule constitutes).Little organic molecule has and the similar physics of conjugated polymer (electricity and optics) character, but utilizes different process technologies.Organic molecule in ultra-high vacuum environment, utilizes the processing of heat sublimation method usually, forms desirable film, the general about 100nm of thickness.Little organic molecule is general to be adopted and the similar device architecture of conjugated polymer, and promptly organic film accompanies between two electrodes.The composition of organic film can utilize orifice plate (shadow mask) to finish, but this method need accurately be aimed at orifice plate, is the technology that a kind of speed is slow and cost is high.In addition, lateral resolution also is restricted.Organic molecule also can utilize conventional spin coating proceeding processing, but this method can't composition.Generally process little organic molecule, make mixture keep polymer in the advantage of the mechanical property of film formation aspect by these molecules are mixed with main conjugated polymer.Figure 18 a, 18b and 18c have provided the example of the typical organic compound that is applicable to resilient coating and ink jet printing deposit.
Ink jet printing (IJP) technology is the ordinary skill of desktop publishing, can be used for the conjugated organic materials of high-resolution ground deposit composition.People such as T.R Hebner are entitled as " being used for the ink jet printing of an organic light-emitting device doped polymer " literary composition Applied PhysicsLetters (Applied Physics communication) the 72nd volume the 519th page (1998), introduce the application of IJP aspect the conjugation organic substance of deposit composition, quoted the document here.Yet,, can only print the low concentration polymer solution that contains pigment in order to utilize existing IJP technology.The result has formed inapplicable inferior film for high quality semiconductor device.
Even, still there is other problem can be on bottom electrode during the conjugation organic substance of the suitable composition of deposit.Because the point of IJP formation property utilizes the organic membrane of IJP printing to have many pin holes.Upper electrode material deposit on the composition conjugation organic thin film can cause some upper electrode material to contact with bottom electrode by pin hole, produces to cause the short circuit that makes component failure.
