The encapsulation of organic electronic device
Invention field
The present invention relates to electronic device such as diode, for example light-emitting diode and photodiode based on organic polymer.More specifically, the present invention relates to the manufacture process and the structure of this type of device, the useful life that it causes high device efficiency and impels the acceptable length in market.
Background of invention
Attracted people's attention with the solid electronic device of conjugation organic polymer manufacturing.Based on the diode of conjugated polymer, especially light-emitting diode (LED) and photodiode since its show and sensor technology in possibility of its application and noticeable especially.The document that these are relevant and other paper, patent and patent application all are incorporated herein and are all reference.
The structure of this class device comprises the coating or the film of electro-optical activity conjugation organic polymer, and this polymer bonding is on electrode (anode and negative electrode) opposite and be loaded on the solid substrate.
In general, comprise semiconductive conjugated polymer as the material of the active layer among polymer diode, the especially LED, for example can, the semiconductive conjugated polymer of luminescence generated by light.In some preferred fit, polymer is can semiconductive conjugated polymer luminescence generated by light and that can dissolve and can be processed into from solution uniform film.
This class based on the anode of the electronic device of organic polymer usually by the semiconductor of the metal of higher work function and transparent formula weight non-chemically for example indium/tin-oxide constitute.The effect of this anode is an injected hole in the pi-of the other filling of semi-conductive light emitting polymer band.
The metal of low work function such as barium and calcium are preferably used as cathode material in multiple structure.Preferably use the superthin layer of this low work function metal and oxide thereof.The effect of this low work function negative electrode is the other empty pi*-band injection electronics to the semiconductor light emitting polymer.Anode injected holes and negative electrode injected electrons are compound and launch light in luminous mode in active layer.
Though, adopt low work function material in order effectively to inject electronics from negative electrode and to have satisfied device performance requirement, unfortunately, low work function metal such as calcium, barium, strontium and their oxide are typical chemical reactivity materials.They at room temperature easily and oxygen and water vapour react, at high temperature more violent.The reaction of this class has damaged their desired low work function character, the critical interface between cathode material and the emitting semiconductor polymer of having degraded.This be an efficient that causes the device element (with light output) lay up period and stressed during, the long-standing problem that at high temperature reduces fast particularly.
There is similar stability problem in solid state device based on other organic polymer.That finds among the array structure of light-sensitive device and device and material therefor and the LED based on polymer is closely similar.The low work function electrode that is not need to adopt quite reactive based on the LED and the main difference between the photosensor of polymer, and the electric polarity of electrode often is reverse.But, the component reaction of moisture and oxygen and this class device, thus the performance of device is reduced in time.
A kind of approach that reduces the illeffects of atmospheric exposure is device is enclosed among the barrier, and active material and moisture are separated.This approach has obtained some success, but it always can not suit to solve and is sealing the problem that inner small amount of moisture that capture or that diffuse in time causes.
Kawami etc. are at United States Patent (USP) 5,882, disclose a kind of method of packing luminescent device in 761, and this device is to make active layer with the film of luminous organic molecule to make, and its purpose is to solve the problem of water contamination.This patents state will be that reactive solid compounds such as sodium oxide molybdena are placed in the sealing of element to water.This kind reactive compounds with seal in water play covalent reaction and water be converted into solid product.For example, the reaction of sodium oxide molybdena and water produces solid-state NaOH just as mentioned.This patents state it utilize these water-reactive compounds to dewater so that at high temperature be detained moisture.Kawami etc. point out, can not adopt the material that absorbs wet steam with the physics method, and (for example 85 ℃ under) separates out because moisture can be at high temperature.
The solid compounds itself with the water reaction in the Kawami patent has strong reactivity, thereby makes the reactivity of its product equally very strong.Therefore contact and to work the mischief with the component chance that other component or the device of device are sealed at these compounds or product, therefore need the method for a kind of encapsulation based on the solid electronic device of organic polymer, this encapsulation should be enough to prevent that water vapour and oxygen from diffusing into device, thereby prevents to cause the limited life-span.
In addition, a lot of known to reaching the method for sealing electronic device, need be in encapsulation process with device heats to the temperature that is higher than 300 ℃.Great majority can not stand high like this temperature based on the luminescent device of polymer.

It is suitable that what make cathode material 114 is alkaline-earth metal such as calcium, barium, strontium and rare earth metal such as ytterbium than low work function metal.The alloy of low work function metal, for example alloy and lithium the alloy in aluminium of magnesium in silver is (U.S. Patent No. 5,047,687 that prior art is known equally; 5,059,862 and 5,408,109).Electronics injects the thickness of cathode layer at 200-5000 , as (the United States Patent (USP) 5,151 that prior art confirmed, 629,5,247,190,5,317,167 and J.Kido, H.Shionoya, K Nagai, Appl.Phys.Lett. (Applied Physics communication), 67 (1995) 2281).Lower limit 200-500 dust () is to form cathode layer continuous film (all standing) desired (United States Patent (USP) 5,512,654; J.C.Scott, J.H.Kaufman, P.J.Brock, R.DiPietro, J.Salem and J.A.Goitia, J.Appl.Phys. (applicating physical magazine), 79 (1996) 2745; I.D.Parker, H.H.Kim, Appl.Phys.Lett. (Applied Physics communication), 64 (1994) 1774).Except that good covering, think that thicker cathode layer can provide from encapsulation, so that the active component of oxygen and water vapour and device is separated.
The injection electronic cathode of the superthin layer of alkaline including earth metal calcium, strontium and barium is existing report aspect high brightness and high efficiency polymer LED.Compare with the conventional negative electrode of making greater than the same metal (with other low effusion function metal) of 200 by thickness, thickness is less than the superthin layer alkaline-earth metal negative electrode of 100 , than polymer LED tangible improvement (Y.Cao and G.Yu are being arranged aspect stability and useful life, U.S. Patent application 08/872,657).
