Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the photoelectric device including substrate, and wherein substrate has on superficial layer and the superficial layer
Limit trap dyke structure, further relate to construction include substrate photoelectric device method, wherein substrate with superficial layer and
The dyke structure of restriction trap on the superficial layer.
Background technology
Investigated extensively for manufacture electronic device, be related to that (solution adds from the method for solution deposition active constituent
Work).If active constituent is from solution deposition, which is preferably included in the desired region of substrate.This can
To be realized by providing the substrate of dyke (bank) layer for including composition, the bank layer of composition limits trap, living in the trap
Property ingredient can be from solution deposition.Trap includes solution when it is dried so that active constituent is retained in the substrate that is limited by trap
In region.This can allow it is integrated with bottom plate, without the pattern step after deposit, the pattern step meeting after depositing
Significantly increase cost.
It has been found that these methods are for being particularly useful from solution deposition organic material.Organic material can be conductive
, it is semiconductive and/or photoelectric activity so that they can emit light when electric current passes through them or by being hit in light
Electric current is generated when hitting on them and carrys out detection light.It is referred to as organic electronic device using the device of these materials.It is if organic
Material is light-emitting material, then device is referred to as organic light-emitting device (OLED).In addition, solution processing allows thin film transistor (TFT)
(TFT) and especially the low cost of Organic Thin Film Transistors (OTFT), low temperature manufacture.In such devices, it is especially desired to
Comprising organic semiconductor (OSC) in the channel of correct region and especially device, and the dyke for limiting trap can be provided,
To include OSC.
Some devices may need to be more than single solution deposition layer.Typical OLED, such as uses in the display
OLED, it can be one layer of luminescent material that can have two layers of organic semiconducting materials-one, such as light emitting polymer (LEP),
And another layer can be one layer of hole mobile material, such as polythiofuran derivative or polyaniline derivative.
If for example, one or more across device active regions of device layer show heterogeneous thickness, then with dyke knot
The light emitting or absorption device of structure may have the color of difference and/or the consistency of light emitting efficiency across active region.It is general and
Speech, device can be designed to emit or absorb the light of single general color, for example, red, green or blue, center exists
In CIE color spaces specific target frequency and/or point on.For example, device can be designed to 1976 color spaces of CIE
(CIELUV) preferred coordinates u ' and v ' in.However, it is desirable to improve the color homogeneity in existing device.Similarly, it is desired to it carries
Electrical-optical energy conversion (or in turn) in high device is (specifically to target light frequency or frequency spectrum/come from target light frequency
Or frequency spectrum and/or to for providing this conversion of the light of target CIE points) whole efficiency or efficiency uniformity.
Further consider efficiency and cost, it should be noted that advantageously simple dyke structure has features designed to correspondingly wrap
Homogenous material/layer of liquid containing all these deposits.But for have to the liquid of all deposits single dyke material and
There is the risk of electric leakage paths or short circuit between the electrode of solution deposition layer either side in the device of single pinning point.For example,
In the OLED structure including anode-HIL-IL-EL- cathode constructions, leakage current can be through the borderline leakage paths of HIL in sun
It is flowed between pole and cathode.Similarly, leakage paths can by be in direct contact in cathode in dyke hole injection layer (HIL),
Very thin device stack or the point contact in pinning point cause in dyke.When being back-driven into and/or before turn,
JV (Current density-voltage) curve for the device printed completely can for example show high-leakage (high current).When with spin coating
(spin) middle layer (IL) and during electroluminescence layer (EL), because the film that HIL is spun on top is completely covered, leakage
It is much lower.This can lead to much lower efficiency.
Low leakage device usually requires double dyke systems at present, to detach anode pinning point from cathode.But with double dikes
Portion's architectural framework is compared, and single dike portion can reduce complexity.Additionally or alternatively, the single dike portion using photoetching process composition can
Think that pixel (dyke) limits and cheap method is provided.But this dyke, which can allow anode region to be exposed to hydrocarbon, (to be resisted
Lose agent residue) and/or be that the finished layer of all solution (HIL, IL and EL) provides single fluid pinning point.Highly conductive HIL,
In addition the short path length between anode (ITO) surface and the consistent pinning point of HIL-IL-EL- cathodes, it has been shown that can cause
High-leakage device.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide allow different liquids be included in trap in improved structure and/or for constructing this structure
Processing procedure.Improved structure can have the advantages that any one or more wherein such as following one or more:Across device
The overall power that the color homogeneity of raising, the electricity leakage of relatively low and/or adjustable (tuneable), across device active region are improved
Efficiency and/or efficiency uniformity, the lifetime stability of raising (for example, OLED emits) are (preferably, for example, about life test
More stable and/or more repeatable device brightness), greater compactness of device and the structural complexity reduced and/or with less
(any one of which can lead to the time that device manufacture improves or cost efficiency, improve for ability that processing step is constructed
Device output, repeatability, about constituent material volume and/or quantity reduction demand, this for example can cause cost to drop
It is low).

Specific embodiment
In general, the layer of example OLED embodiments can be as follows:
Substrate, such as glass, it is therefore preferred to have superficial layer including ITO (80nm) electrode and micro- optionally for being formed
The reflecting layer of chamber, such as Ag
HIL (hole injection layer)=ND3202b ink jet printing of the utilization from Nissan chemical plant
IL (middle layer)
EL (luminescent layer), including light emitting polymer LEP, such as green emitting polymer.
In general embodiment provides single dike portion architectural framework, for example, with longer path length, thus reduce leakage
Electric current.For OLED, this path length can be in anode surface (for example, ITO) the fluid pinning point consistent with HIL-IL-EL
Between.These can be that any potential parasitic leakage current generates high resistance along the longer path length of higher resistive HIL
Property path and/or generate non-emissive edge devices diode.This dyke structure is had turned out to be to OLED lifetime stabilities
It improves.
It is intended for the processing procedure of a variety of dykes manufacture of this embodiment in the following description.Such as:(i) with auxiliary
Layer composition and the hydrophobic dyke of partial reactive ion(ic) etching (RIE) development;(ii) have and exposed for the part of RIE mask layer
Pixel edge unpatterned hydrophobic dyke;(iii) double-developing processing procedure;(iv) dual masks with single patterned layer are handled
Process;(v) single masking part transmission (leakage) processing procedure with single patterned layer;And (vi) using reflector space and is less than
Single mask process with single patterned layer of threshold exposure dosage.
The example of these processing procedures can provide dredging for the single development of the stent with part oxygen plasma etch
Water dyke.Advantageously, the hydrophobic dyke of single development and subsequent pattern step allow oxygen plasma clean ITO regions and
Also partly etch the pre-qualified amount of dyke.ITO and the dyke of part etching are preferably hydrophilic, to allow HIL always
Non- etching area to hydrophobic dyke all soaks.An area of HIL all has dyke up to HIL pinning points below, this
Pinning point will be shared with IL and EL.Such as the HIL for using higher resistive, by it is long and preferably device it is programmable away from
It is advantageously separated from by active anode with cathode, thus leads to lower electricity leakage.
Thus, it can be by providing the anode surface (ITO) and anode that soak for the single dike portion architectural framework of OLED
Longer path length is improved between surface and the consistent fluid pinning points of HIL-IL-EL.This longer path length can be with
Higher resistive option is generated for any potential parasitic leakage current.Embodiment allows anode-cathode path in a controlled manner
It lengthens, and therefore the embodiment is adjustable (tuneable), to reduce parasitic leakage current, this can correspondingly improve device
Part efficiency.
Additionally or alternatively, this processing procedure can reduce relative to double dyke architectural frameworks it is complicated
Property.
Fig. 1 a show example constructions method, wherein fluorinated dyke material (dyke structure sheaf 12) is spun to anode
On (superficial layer 11) (such as ITO), and by light-composited film, to provide trap (see the region of 13 top of surface region layer).Then, dike
Photoresist layer 14 on portion's material performs additional processing procedure by light-composited film, to remove dyke area,
Thus lengthened insulative dyke stent.This additional processing procedure can include the part for being etched through dyke material applied
Reactive ion etching.Photoresist is removed after the additional processes.Thus, change in the edge of trap
The profile of dyke material so that profile provides longer path length.Such as by Fig. 1 a along first slope s1 and the second slope
Shown by the being merely illustrative property filament of s2, etching causes by removal photoresist and the longer circuit on the surface 15 of exposure
Diameter.
Alternative approach shown in Fig. 1 b is using single masks, in the mask with fractional transmission region, to limit dike
The anode-cathode distance of the length of portion's stent;RIE step preferably etches that there are the pixel edges of thin positivity mask layer.Due to thin
Mask layer, RIE can etch the pixel at the edge with the pixel for being exposed to plasma.By relative to RIE compositions
The size of notch changes the mask design size of the dyke pixel of development, can adjust with this method anode-cathode away from
From and parasitic leakage current therefore amount.This and simple light-composited film dyke pixel and/or simple RIE compositions dyke picture
For element on the contrary, in light-composited film dyke pixel and RIE composition dyke pixels, each pixel will usually provide short circuit of the anode to cathode
Electrical path length (blue region) and length usually cannot be adjusted.Specifically, Fig. 1 b show superficial layer 21, dyke structure sheaf
22nd, surface region layer 23, photoresist layer 24, slope s1 and s2 and surface 25.
(Fig. 1 c show the structure of the dyke pixel of the RIE compositions with short side wall path length (above to intermediate figure)
Make and, as control, according to the construction of the pixel for the embodiment for providing longer path length (nethermost figure)).
Fig. 1 d are shown with the device of dyke formed from processing procedure embodiment as described above, and are further wrapped
It is IL (middle layer) and/or LEP (light-emissive polymers to include solution processable layer L1 that form is HIL (hole injection layer) and form
Object) layer another solution processable layer L2.As seen from Fig. 1 d, HIL, IL have consistent pinning point with LEP fluids.IL
And/or EL layers can be covered by EIL (electron injecting layer), EIL can correspondingly be covered by cathode layer.Preferably, this EIL is not
The pinning point of inclusion layer L1 and L2, but cover these layers and extend on the adjacent area of dyke structure.In conformal painting
(coat) EIL is covered so that in the embodiment that extends on the layer and adjacent region, cathode layer preferably can directly form sediment
Product is on EIL.
In view of described above, with for example detaching double dyke systems of anode pinning point in contrast from cathode, embodiment carries
The single dike portion structure with long insulating support is supplied.Single hydrophobic dyke can be used and subsequent patterning process is used for
Elongate dyke stent.In embodiment, ITO and dyke stent can be hydrophilic, so as to allow HIL until dyke becomes thin
The pre-qualified point (ink pinning point) of water all soaks.An area of HIL will be below until HIl pinning points all have dike
Portion, it will share this pinning point with IL and LEP.By using higher resistive HIL, active anode can separate long with cathode
(and being that device is programmable) distance.
Embodiment allows anode-cathode path length to increase in a controlled manner and therefore provides reduction parasitic leakage current
Adjustable processing procedure, this cause about life test device illuminate more stable (and repeating).As control, by standard light
Use can be provided by carving the single dyke that processing procedure or more complicated but standard RIE (reactive ion etching) processing procedure are formed
In the cheap method that pixel (dyke) limits.But both standard techniques can all be left in pixel (device) edge it is short
Anode-cathode path length.It has been shown that the short circuit between anode (ITO) surface and the consistent pinning point of HIL-IL-EL- cathodes
Electrical path length (short stent) leads to the unstable device when device drives at any time.
Alternatively, Fig. 1 a may be considered that the processing procedure stream implementation shown for the single dike portion with long stent
Example.The processing procedure is related to the rapid patterning process of two-step to generate long dyke stent.Stent is from anode (ITO) to ink pinning
The length of point can be controlled by assisted drawing step, as the depth of stent can be controlled to provide it is abundant with anode
It is electrically isolated.Change the mask design ruler of the dyke pixel of development by the Pixel Dimensions of the partially patterned step relative to auxiliary
It is very little, it can be let out using this embodiment to adjust the parasitism of anode-cathode apart from (referring to being merely illustrative property filament) and therefore
The amount of leakage current.With each of for example will usually provide anode-cathode short path length (<1 μm) and length it is usually non-adjustable
It saves simple light-composited film dyke pixel or simple R IE composition dyke pixels (except dyke height) to compare, this reality
Apply example generate long stent device (for example,>2μm).
Longer anode can also realize that still, this generally will be on pixel side to cathode distance by making dyke higher
HIL-IL-EL profiles are adversely affected at edge, make them thicker and lead to non-uniform transmitting.
Preferably, HIL, IL of embodiment all have consistent pinning point with EL.This can cause from anode to cathode
Long leakage paths, wherein cathode are that HIL (conductive hole injecting layer) intersects with metallic cathode at (meet).By as described above
Long transverse direction HIL distances, detach anode (ITO) by using higher resistive HIL and then from cathode to minimize this shadow
It rings.
Consider device as a result, the device stability during life test shows significant improvement.In embodiment, lead to
Crossing increases to the resistance (path length) for the point that HIL-IL-EL intersects, and long stent is substantially reduced pixel edge diode effect (this
It is non-emanative thin diode).
Fig. 2 shows service life (device stability) figures.It can be seen that single dike portion-short filter holder means (dashed curve) is first
Bright wave (brightness is increased with fixed electric current) begin from a device to another device significant changes.This is likely due to exist
Vertical leakage paths and caused by, dduring test by " burn-up ", so as to which electric current be caused to redistribute.In fig. 2, single dike portion-
Long stent (full curve) shows the more tight distribution of bright wave amplitude, it means that the effect may not be with leakage current phase
It closes.Possible with this dyke assessment material and processing procedure stability.With single dike portion-long stent arrangement, service life (device
Degenerate) it is more predictable and far independent of pixel-edge devices effect.Thus, the hydrophobic dike of list with long stent
The verified improvement for being related to OLED lifetime stabilities in portion.
Consider complex disposal process, it should be noted that reduce with the single dike portion method of long insulating support by generating
Leakage, simplified processing procedure method can generate the hydrophobic dyke of long stent list and/or for double dyke architectural frameworks
Reduce complexity.Advantageously, the embodiment of this simplification allows anode-cathode path to increase in a controlled manner, and therefore
Adjustably reduce parasitic leakage current, parasitic leakage current reduces device efficiency.Single dike portion pixel is realized in embodiment covering
Alternative simplification method.
Further consider complex disposal process, the processing procedure method of Fig. 1 a is related to auxiliary layer composition and partial reaction
The hydrophobic dyke of the development of property ion(ic) etching (RIE).This may need two photoetching compositions cycle (such as:Cleaning is baked, is applied
Cover, bake, exposing, baking, developing, dyke curing, coating, exposure, developing) add RIE step and positive corrosion-resisting agent stripping
(strip)。
But for example, with adding reactive ion etching using two light-composited film steps for example shown in Fig. 1 a to generate OLED
The embodiment of long stent needed for device stability is compared, and the embodiment of Fig. 1 b can provide the hydrophobic dyke of long stent list development
Processing procedure simplifies.
But the first simplification as shown in Figure 1 b shows unpatterned hydrophobic dyke, has for RIE mask layer
Partial exposure pixel edge.This processing procedure eliminates demand of the first composition cycle to mask and development step.
A kind of alternative simplification is shown in fig. 3 a, which is described as double-developing processing procedure.This processing procedure can be with
Remove the demand of RIE and strip step.Preferably, the dyke of the first composition is thin, has the shallow slope into pixel.It is preferred that
Ground, deposit (such as spin coating) first, thin bank layer, and harden.Then, which develops by light-composited film and then, with exposure
The region of anode, the thin layer have the gentle slope to exposed region.Then, another bank layer is deposited, light-composited film and shows
Shadow.Advantageously, the substance of such as fluorine material (such as fluorin radical) in another bank layer is processed in the baking of this layer
The top surface of the bank layer is moved in journey so that the top surface will not be (preferably also lamellate as the side wall of the bank layer
Side wall) it can be soaked like that by the solution of exposed region to be deposited to.Specifically, Fig. 3 a show superficial layer 31, the first dyke
Layer 32, has second bank layer on surface 34 and slope s1 and s2 at surface region layer 33.
Fig. 3 b show that form is that the alternative simplification of dual masks processing procedure is carried out with single patterned layer.This is single composition step
Rapid processing procedure without positive type resist layer, but may need two photomasks and double-exposure step.Top mask (mask
2) it can be more sharp limit slope s1 and s2 gradient mask.Specifically, Fig. 3 b show superficial layer 41, bank layer
42nd, surface region layer 43, slope s1 and s2 and surface 45, wherein region 44 are relative between region 44 or under surface 45
The second area of the bank layer of one or more first areas in face.
Fig. 3 c show another alternative simplified:Single masking part transmission (leakage) with single patterned layer is processed
Journey.This is single pattern step processing procedure of no positive type resist layer, but may need the photomask of higher costs, but has
There is single step of exposure.Specifically, Fig. 3 c show superficial layer 51, bank layer 52, surface region layer 53, slope s1 and s2,
And surface 55, wherein region 54 is the dyke relative to one or more first areas between region 54 or below surface 55
The second area of layer.Fractional transmission (such as Subresolution characterize) mask can more sharp limit slope s1 and s2
Gradient mask.
Fig. 3 d, which are shown, and another kind is alternative simplifies:Single mask process with single patterned layer, utilizes reflectivity
Region and less than threshold exposure dosage.This is single pattern step processing procedure of no positive type resist layer, and is single exposure
Step.The design of the layer of front can combine the reflective area for being used for generating higher doses region, so as to fully crosslinked
(cross-link) dyke.Anode-cathode distance and the therefore amount of parasitic leakage current can be adjusted with this method.
Specifically, Fig. 3 d show superficial layer 61, bank layer 62, surface region layer 63, slope s1 and s2 and surface 65, wherein
Region 64 is the second area relative to one or more first areas below surface 65 of bank layer.
This is with the single dike portion pixel of light-composited film and/or the dyke pixel of RIE compositions on the contrary, the wherein single dike portion picture of light-composited film
The dyke pixel of element and/or RIE compositions is each usually will to provide short path length (blue region) from anode to cathode simultaneously
And normal length it is unadjustable-referring to Fig. 1 c.
