Description

Substrate, its Use and preparation method of being used for organic light emitting apparatus, and organic light emitting apparatus
Technical field
Theme of the present invention is multi-layered electrode, its acid etching and the organic light emitting apparatus that comprises it.
Background technology
Known organic light emission system or OLED comprise the laminated coating of electroluminescent organic material or electroluminescent organic material, make it charged by electrode, adopt two conductive layers to be positioned at the form of its both sides usually.
These conductive layers generally comprise based on indium oxide, the layer of the indium oxide of tin-doping normally, and the abbreviation ITO of the indium oxide of tin-doping is more common.Especially in depth studied the ITO layer.Can make their depositions at an easy rate by the magnetron sputter, wherein, use oxide target (non-reacted sputter) or use target (reactive sputtering in the presence of oxygen type oxidant), and their thickness be about 100-150nm based on indium and tin.Yet this ITO layer has many shortcomings.At first, be used to improve conductive material and high temperature (350 ℃) deposition process and produce fringe cost.Unless layer thickness is increased to greater than 150nm, otherwise that sheet resistance keeps is high relatively (
Figure A200780041442D0008093750QIETU
Level), can cause transparency to reduce and the surface roughness increase bed thickness increase.
Therefore, developed new electrode structure.For example, the JP2005-038642 file has been instructed the luminous flat screen of TFT (thin-film transistor)-driving, it comprises the electroluminescence system of top light emitting, and described electroluminescence system produces ruddiness, green glow and blue light respectively, so that form active matrix (active matrix).
Each organic light emitting apparatus all is equipped with so-called back electrode or hearth electrode, and described electrode comprises:
-adhesion layer is for example made by ITO;
-(partly) reflective metal layer, particularly based on silver or aluminium, perhaps make by the silver that contains aluminium, its thickness is 50nm at least; With
-work function coupling cover layer (work-function-matching overlayer) is for example made by ITO.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to obtain the conductive layer assembly, so that form reliable electrode, described electrode durable (particularly aspect stability and/or mechanical endurance and thermal endurance), and do not sacrifice its electric conductivity or its optical quality, do not sacrifice the performance of the device that comprises it yet, more can not cause the difficulty in the production.
Purpose of the present invention particularly can obtain the conductive layer assembly, and it is used to form the hearth electrode of reliability and durability electroluminescence system, does not learn performance and do not sacrifice its electric conductivity, its optical quality or oled light, does not also produce the difficulty in the production.
In content of the present invention, term " hearth electrode " is construed as and refers to the electrode that is inserted between carrier substrate and the OLED system.
In addition, will realize this purpose with least cost, and not upset the known structure of organic light emission system related to the present invention.
This relates to exploitation as bottom electrode: as described in electrode be substantial transparent, perhaps be transparent be again reflection-type or reflection-type basically, and described electrode on an equal basis compatibly is used for OLED, form active matrix and passive matrix OLED screen, perhaps form video recording screen back lighting device, perhaps be generally used for the device that (building and/or decoration) illumination is used, perhaps be used for indication and use, perhaps be used for other electronic application.
This novel electrode film particularly can have the optical property that is suitable as panel, and described panel is the face of the light that sends of OLED system by its separating device.Especially, it can have sufficient light conduction, also has minimum possible light absorption simultaneously.Its reason is to seem the possible the highest light conduction of unnecessary pursuit so that obtain maximum luminous energy in the outlet of OLED device, simultaneously, on the other hand, for panel, must have minimum possible absorption.
Therefore, the present invention also is to select and make the compatible thin-film multilayer coating of method of organic light emitting apparatus, particularly with to form the step of hearth electrode by etching before OLED system deposition compatible.
The objective of the invention is to remedy the shortcoming of prior art by proposing new solution that preparation is used for the bottom electrode film of organic light emitting apparatus.
In order to realize this purpose, theme of the present invention is: a kind of substrate as claimed in claim 1; The purposes of a kind of purposes of substrate, particularly substrate as claimed in claim 22; As claimed in claim 24ly comprise that described substrate person adopts the organic light emitting apparatus of described substrate; With the method that is used to make described substrate as claimed in claim 29.
Those claims that are subordinated to above claim define favourable selection of the present invention.
Therefore, the most in a broad aspect, a theme of the present invention is, a kind of substrate that is used for organic light emitting apparatus, transparent glass substrate particularly, it comprises, is positioned at the bottom electrode film on first first type surface, described electrode film is formed by the thin-film multilayer coating, and described laminated coating comprises following each layer at least continuously:
-based on the contact layer of metal oxide and/or metal nitride,
-have the intrinsic conduction performance the metal function layer and
-based on the cover layer of metal oxide and/or metal nitride, described cover layer is especially for the work function of the described electrode film of coupling,
Described substrate comprises basic unit (base layer), and described basic unit covers the first type surface of described substrate.
Basic unit of the present invention has two effects: it had both formed the alkali-metal barrier from substrate, also formed the requisite anti-reflecting layer for the micropore of OLED system simultaneously.
Therefore, electrode film of the present invention is made of the thin-film multilayer coating, described thin-film multilayer coating comprises at least a metal function layer, particularly (that is to say based on silver, be made from silver or make) by the metal alloy that mainly contains silver, and at least a end anti-reflective film that places between substrate and the described metal function layer, described anti-reflective film comprises at least a antireflection dielectric layer, i.e. basic unit.
In content of the present invention, term " film " is construed as and is meant, the layer of being made by homogenous material can be arranged, and perhaps is made from a variety of materials many layers separately.
Be positioned under the metal function layer in the face of substrate and with the purpose of the described anti-reflective film of substrate contacts be that light that the OLED system is sent only is wavelength-optionally and only depend on visual angle.
This be because, if there is no described anti-reflective film, on the one hand, the light that the OLED system sends concentrates on emission wavelength very much, perhaps concentrate in the very narrow scope of emission wavelength of OLED system, and on the other hand, the color of described light and energy are along with the visual angle greatly changes.
This thin-film multilayer coating is known in building or vehicle glass (automotive glazing) field, be used to prepare " low-heat-intercepting glass of the enhancing of emissivity or low-E " and/or " sunlight control " type.
Therefore, the inventor notices that some laminated coating that is used for low-E glass (glazing) can be used to prepare the basic unit of organic light emitting apparatus and electrode film especially and especially for the basic unit and the electrode film of the panel of these devices.
But it is particularly suitable being called the " laminated coating of " malleableize or the laminated coating of the " coating that " treats malleableize, that is to say, when the hope preparation has the substrate of laminated coating, those laminated coatings that adopted is carried out malleableize heat treatment.This is just more amazing, this is because the substrate that is used for organic light emitting apparatus is without heat treated when being used for this device, perhaps need not cool off fast with sufficient and carry out sufficient heat treatment in any case in order on glass substrate, to carry out patent.
Therefore, theme of the present invention also is the purposes that the thin-film multilayer coating is used for building glass (glazing), perhaps a kind of substrate that scribbles the thin-film multilayer coating is used for the purposes of building glass, but the " laminated coating of particularly low-E laminated coating or the substrate that was coated with and/or particularly " malleableize or the substrate that was coated with or " treat the " laminated coating of malleableize, so that prepare the substrate that is used for organic light emitting apparatus of the present invention.
In content of the present invention, but the " laminated coating of term " malleableize or substrate are construed as and are meant optical property and the hot property (patience (resistance) by every quadrature represents that this is directly related with emissivity) that keeps necessity in heat treatment process.
Therefore, can be in the front of a building and same building, for example will combine the substrate of malleableize and not the face glass of the substrate of malleableize closely put together, described substrate all scribbles same laminated coating, and reflection that can not be by visualization of color simply and/or light reflection/transmission are distinguished from each other them and come.
For example, had the laminated coating of following variation before 0 or scribble the substrate of laminated coating after heat treatment, but will be considered to malleableize, this is not that eyes can be discovered because of these variations:
-less than 3%, perhaps even less than the little change Delta T of 2% light conduction LAnd/or
-less than 3%, perhaps even less than the little changes delta R of 2% light reflection LAnd/or
-less than 3 or even less than the little variation of 2 color ΔE = ( ( ΔL * ) 2 + ( Δa * ) 2 + ( Δb * ) 2 ) .
In the present invention, " treats that it is acceptable that the " laminated coating of malleableize or substrate are construed as the optical property and the hot property that are meant the substrate that was coated with after heat treatment, but is not perhaps under any circumstance not to be all before heat treatment.
In content of the present invention, for example, after heat treatment, have the laminated coating of following characteristic or scribble the substrate of laminated coating, will be considered to " and treat the " of malleableize but before heat treatment, do not have at least a in these characteristics:
-at least 50% high light conduction T L, perhaps even at least 60% or 65%, perhaps even 70%, perhaps even at least 75% and more preferably at least 80%; And/or
The patience of-the same with ITO at least good every quadrature with common thickness , particularly less than
Figure A200780041442D0011093325QIETU
Perhaps in addition less than
Figure A200780041442D0011093334QIETU
The important point is, the electrode film that is used for panel is also fully transparent, thereby before OLED system deposition, it has at least 50% and the light conduction of preferred 60-70%, and on the other hand, has low-down absorption, thereby before OLED system deposition, it is defined as 1-R L-T LAbsorption be equal to or less than 15%, perhaps even be equal to or less than 10%, perhaps even be equal to or less than 8%, perhaps even be equal to or less than 5%.
Should avoid light conduction greater than 70%,
Figure A200780041442D00121
If reach this value, the thickness that is positioned at the film coating between metal function layer and the OLED system (cover layer and optional other layer that exists) is too big, and the metal function layer is too far away apart from the OLED system, is easy to weaken the performance of OLED.
Basic unit can:
-based on Si oxide (general formula is SiO);
-based on silicon oxycarbide (general formula is SiOC);
-based on silicon nitride (general formula is SiN) with especially based on Si 3N 4
-based on silicon-oxygen nitride (general formula is SiON);
-based on silica carbonitride (general formula is SiONC).
The nitrogenize of basic unit may be substoichiometric slightly.
Preferably, the thickness of basic unit is 10-150nm, even more preferably 20-100nm.
Basic unit gives electrode of the present invention many advantages.At first, basic unit forms barrier to the alkali metal of electrode below.Its protection is gone up contact layer and is not subjected to any pollution (described pollution can cause mechanical defect, for example layering), and it also keeps the conductivity of metal function layer simultaneously.Basic unit prevents that also the organic structure of OLED device from being polluted by alkali metal, still, causes greatly reducing the life-span of OLED.
In the preparation process of device alkali-metal migration may take place, thereby cause lacking reliability, and/or and then reduce its life-span.
Basic unit improves the grappling performance (anchoring properties) of contact layer, and can not cause the increase of a little to the roughness of whole laminated coating, even insert one or more layers between basic unit and contact layer.
Certainly, the present invention is for being extremely beneficial with being easy to discharge the approaching as far as possible electrode of alkali-metal carrier substrate, for example particularly transparent or super clear soda-lime glass.
In addition, this special laminated coating structure also can obtain reliable electrode, thereby can realize significantly improving of productivity ratio.
And, and lower cost obtains is as bottom electrode: as described in electrode demonstrate the compatibility of surface property and organic light emission system, still have simultaneously can be adjusted in suitable conductivity and/or transparency or reflecting properties, particularly carry out described adjusting by the thickness and/or the sedimentary condition that change metal level or other layer.
For the organic structure of given OLED device, compare with the ITO electrode of common thickness, for greater than 500cd/m 2Brightness, it is the improved efficiency 5-10% of 1m/W that electrode of the present invention can make the unit of OLED, and high to 15% or even 20%.
Electrode film can preferably include etching stopping layer between basic unit and contact layer, particularly based on the layer of tin-oxide, the thickness of described etching stopping layer is 10-100nm particularly, even more preferably 20-60nm.
Most particularly, for simply, etching stopping layer can form the part of basic unit or can be basic unit: preferably, it can be based on silicon nitride, perhaps can be based on the layer of Si oxide, or based on silicon-oxygen nitride the layer, or based on silicon oxycarbide the layer, perhaps or even based on the layer of silica carbonitride, contain tin simultaneously and be used for strengthening anti--etching performance, the general formula of layer is SnSiOCN.
Etching stopping layer is used for protective substrate under chemical etching or the etched situation of reactive plasma.
Because etching stopping layer, basic unit keeps existing, even also like this in the zone of being carved with pattern.Therefore, by edge effect, can stop the migration of alkali metal between the zone of being carved with pattern of substrate and adjacent electrode part (perhaps even organic structure).
Particularly preferably be most (mainly) by that mix or unadulterated silicon nitride Si 3N 4Basic unit/etching stopping layer of making.Silicon nitride very rapidly deposits and forms excellent alkali metal barrier.And because its high optical index with respect to carrier substrate, the optical property that it allows to change electrode preferably realizes by the thickness that changes described basic unit/etching stopping layer.Therefore, for example,, can regulate transmitted colors by this way when electrode when being transparent, perhaps when the opposite face of carrier substrate is mirror, accommodation reflex color by this way.
Preferably, functional layer is based on the pure material that is selected from silver, gold, aluminium and copper, perhaps based on described material and the alloy or the alloy that are selected from other following material: Ag, Au, Pd, Al, Pt, Cu, Zn, Cd, In, Si, Zr, Mo, Ni, Cr, Mg, Mn, Co and Sn, and particularly based on gold/silver alloy or based on gold/copper alloy.
The film coating of formation electrode film is the function monofilm preferably, that is to say the simple function layer.Yet it can be to comprise many functional layers and the particularly coating of two functional layers.
Be included in the electrode film that deposits many functional layers of n time on basic unit and the optional etching stopping layer that exists in order to prepare, wherein, n is equal to or greater than 1 integer, adopt following structure: contact layer and function metal level, the stratose that comprises following pantostrat is arranged on described structure, and described pantostrat is made of contact layer/function metal level/cover layer at least.
Electrode of the present invention can have big area, for example is equal to or greater than 0.02m 2, perhaps even be equal to or greater than 0.5m 2, perhaps be equal to or greater than 1m 2
Advantageously, electrode of the present invention can have:
-be functional layer more than the 6nm for thickness, electrode of the present invention have be equal to or less than 10 Ω/

The patience of every quadrature, preferably have following optical property simultaneously:
-be equal to or greater than 50% light conduction T L, preferred 60%-70%, perhaps even higher, prerequisite be this do not weaken OLED luminescent properties and
-be equal to or less than 15% absorption, perhaps be equal to or less than 10%, perhaps even more preferably be equal to or less than 8%, perhaps even 5%,
Thus, make electrode of the present invention satisfactory especially as transparency electrode,

Figure A200780041442D0014093815QIETU
, simultaneously preferred, T L/ R LThan being 0.1-0.7, thus, make electrode of the present invention satisfactory especially as transparent/reflecting electrode.
For the thickness of the selected silver of electrode-Base Metal functional layer (perhaps all these layer) can be 3-20nm (gross thickness), preferred 5-15nm.In this thickness range, because the anti-reflective film under silver-Base Metal functional layer (perhaps each silver-Base Metal functional layer), electrode can be fully transparent, thus the gratifying especially transparency electrode of preparation, just as described in the previous paragraph.
Yet it is not favourable that selected silver-Base Metal functional layer (perhaps all these layers) has remarkable bigger thickness, if particularly the organic light emission system is with reflective operation or top light emitting.In this case, for the thickness of the selected Yin of electrode-Ji functional layer (perhaps all these layer) can be 50-150nm (gross thickness), preferred 80-100nm, thus can prepare gratifying especially reflecting electrode, as mentioned above.
In addition, for the thickness of the selected Yin of electrode-Ji functional layer (perhaps all these layer) can be 20-50nm (gross thickness) so that electrode is simultaneously with transmission and reflective operation, thus can prepare gratifying especially transparent/reflecting electrode, as mentioned above.
Metal function layer (perhaps each metal), particularly Yin-Ji functional layer preferably is deposited on the thin dielectric layer with crystallization mode, the also preferred crystallization of thin dielectric layer.Therefore, contact layer promotes the crystal orientation that deposition metal level thereon is fit to.
Therefore, the functional layer preferred deposition is on oxide-Ji contact layer, even directly be deposited on oxide-above the Ji contact layer, based on the contact layer of oxide particularly based on the contact layer of zinc oxide, zinc oxide is optional to mix, (term " doping " is interpreted as in due form and is meant contacts described element in layer for optional and aluminium doping, described element is the metallic element less than the amount of 10 weight %, and term " is interpreted as the material that is meant that layer mainly contains in due form based on ", that is to say, this material that contains at least 50 weight %, therefore, term " covers based on " and mixes).
How much (perhaps actual) thickness of contact layer are preferably 3-30nm, more preferably 4-20nm.
The effect that is positioned at the contact layer under the metal function layer in the anti-reflective film sometimes may be out in the cold, particularly when the index of this layer approaches the index of substrate, and/or when the thickness of this layer hour, when being typically thickness when this layer less than 10nm.
Contact layer can be based on metal nitride, then can be consistent with basic unit, particularly work as basic unit based on silicon nitride.
Preferably, at least a based in the following metal oxide of contact layer, wherein optional described other metal oxide that mixes: chromated oxide, indium oxide, optional substoichiometric zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, molybdenum oxide, Zirconium oxide, sb oxide, tin-oxide, tantalum pentoxide and Si oxide (, thinking that here silicon is metal) in order to simplify.
Typically, can be with doped metallic oxide 0.5-5%.Especially, it can be Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO), Ga-doped zinc oxide (GZO), perhaps or even B-mixes, Sc-mixes or the Sb-doped zinc oxide, to realize the better stability of deposition process, perhaps or even F-mix or the S-doped tin oxide.
Contact layer can be based on mixed oxide, especially, and normally non-stoichiometric mixed oxidization tin zinc Sn xZn yO zAs amorphous phase, perhaps based on mixing indium tin oxide (ITO) or mixed oxidization indium zinc (IZO).
Preferred zinc oxide ZnO xLayer, preferred x be less than 1, even more preferably 0.88-0.98, particularly 0.90-0.95.This layer can be pure layer, or is doped with Al or is doped with the layer of Ga.
Normally obtain to pile up by continuous electroless copper deposition operation, described continuous electroless copper deposition operation is by vacuum technique, for example sputter, and optional magnetron sputter is carried out.Also can provide a kind of or even two kinds of extremely thin films that are called " barrier film (blocking film) "; the described film of thing directly is deposited under each metal function layer; or be deposited on each metal function layer; perhaps be deposited on each side of each metal function layer; the metal function layer is particularly based on silver; described film is positioned under the functional layer on the direction of substrate; as bonding; nucleation and/or diaphragm; and the described film on the functional layer is as protection or " sacrifice " film; to prevent since oxygen from being positioned at layer attack and/or the migration on the metal function layer; if perhaps position layer thereon deposits by sputter in the presence of oxygen; also be because oxygen moves, thereby weaken the metal function layer.
Therefore, the function metal level directly can be placed at least a down barrier film and/or directly place at least a going up under the barrier film, the thickness of each film all is preferably 0.5-5nm.
In content of the present invention, under other deposit or directly on other deposit, during the deposition of cambium layer or film (comprising one or more layers), between these two kinds of deposits, can insert without any layer when spelling out directly.
At least a barrier film preferably comprises metal, metal nitride and/or metal oxide layer, at least a based in the following metal: Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Zr, Hf, Al, Nb, Ni, Cr, Mo, Ta, W, perhaps based on the alloy of at least a described material.
For example, barrier film can comprise the layer based on following metal: niobium, tantalum, titanium, chromium or nickel, and perhaps based on the alloy that forms by at least two kinds of described metals, for example nickel-chromium alloy.
Thin thermoprint layer form protective layer or even " sacrifices " layer, its metal that prevents the function metal level is weakened, particularly when in following one or more are constructed:
If the layer on-the functional layer deposits by using reactive (oxygen, nitrogen etc.) plasmasphere, if for example position oxide skin(coating) thereon deposits by sputter;
If the composition of the layer on-the functional layer is easy to change (the variation of sedimentary condition in industrial manufacture process, be target loss pattern etc.) words, if particularly stoichiometric oxide and/or nitride type layer change, change the quality of functional layer thus and change the performance (surface resistance, transmittance etc.) of electrode thus; With
If-after deposition, electrode coating is heat-treated.
Described protective layer or sacrifice layer improve the electrical property of electrode and the reproducibility of optical property significantly.This is very important for commercial run, and wherein, the only very little dispersion of electrode performance is acceptable.
Thin thermoprint layer is based on the metal that is selected from niobium Nb, tantalum Ta, titanium Ti, chromium Cr and nickel, be particularly preferred perhaps based on the alloy that forms by at least two kinds in these metals, particularly niobium/tantalum (Nb/Ta) alloy, niobium/chromium (Nb/Cr) alloy or tantalum/chromium (Ta/Cr) alloy or nickel/chromium (Ni/Cr) alloy.This layer is based at least a metal with strong especially gettering effect.
Can easily prepare thin metal thermoprint layer, and not weaken functional layer.Can be preferably in the inert atmosphere that constitutes by inert gas (He, Ne, Xe, Ar, Kr) the described metal level of deposition (that is, do not have a mind wherein introduce oxygen or nitrogen).In the layer deposition process based on metal oxide subsequently, oxidation neither is left out on the surface of this metal level, and is also no problem.
Thin metal thermoprint layer so also provides excellent mechanical performance (particularly mar proof and marresistance).Heat treated laminated coating is especially true for accepting, and therefore, oxygen or nitrogen fully spread in this processing procedure.
Yet, for the purposes of metal thermoprint layer, be necessary to limit metal layer thickness and and then the restriction light absorption so that keep the conduction of sufficient light for transparency electrode.
Can the oxidation of thermoprint layer segment will be approached.Deposit this layer with nonmetal form, therefore, this layer can not deposit with stoichiometric form, but deposits with the substoichiometric form of following type: MO xType, wherein M represents metal, and x is the truth of a matter of comparing with the stoichiometry of metal oxide; Perhaps MNO xType is used for the oxide of two kinds of metal M and N (perhaps more than two kinds of metals).For example, can mention TiO xAnd NiCrO x
Preferably, x is 0.75 times-0.99 times of stoichiometric positive constant of oxide.For monoxide, can select x to be 0.5-0.98 especially, and for dioxide, x can be 1.5-1.98.
In a concrete variant, thin thermoprint layer is based on TiO x, wherein, x is 1.5≤x≤1.98 particularly, perhaps 1.5<x<1.7, perhaps even 1.7≤x≤1.95.
Can the nitrogenize of thermoprint layer segment will be approached.Therefore, this layer can not deposit with stoichiometric form, but with MN yThe substoichiometric form deposition of type, wherein M represents metal, and y is the numeral less than the metal nitride stoichiometric number.Y is preferably 0.75 times-0.99 times of stoichiometric positive constant of nitride.
Similarly, also can thermoprint layer segment oxynitriding will be approached.

Additional function
Illustrating, is favourable with second surface (being positioned at the opposite side of the organic light emission system) functionalization of carrier substrate 1.
Therefore, stringer on the surface, mean to these thin layers specific performance properties is provided, for example purpose is to make substrate to keep cleaning as far as possible, and the influence that not attacked by environment, that is to say, be used for keeping for a long time ground surface performance and outward appearance, particularly when dust when substrate surface constantly increases, by achieving success aspect the removal dust, make clean operation further to separate and carry out, particularly the dust in organic source, for example impression of the hand or airborne volatile organic matter, perhaps or even sweat or pollute the dust of dust type.
In the substrate field with glass function, the known photocatalysis membrana that uses on substrate has the antifouling " effect of significant ", and can commercial scale produce.These photocatalysis membranas usually in described film the form with particle contain the titanium oxide of partially crystallizable at least, particularly be of a size of several (3 or 4) nm to 100nm, the particle of preferred about 50nm, basically with anatase or anatase/rutile be crystallization form.
This is that under the effect of the light in visible light or ultraviolet light range, it can be degraded and be deposited on their lip-deep organic substance because titanium oxide is a kind of in the semiconductor.
Therefore, according to first embodiment, the film with photocatalysis performance derives from based on TiO 2Nano particle and mesoporous silica (SiO 2) solution of adhesive.
According to second embodiment, the film with photocatalysis performance derives from based on TiO 2Nano particle and non-structure silicon dioxide (SiO 2) solution of adhesive.
