Description
Polymeres Schaltelement Polymer switching element
Die Erfindung betrifft ein polymeres Schaltelement zur Verwendung als Transistor oder Diode.The invention relates to a polymeric switching element for use as a transistor or diode.
Eine elektronische Schlüsselkomponente in der Informationstechnik stellt der Transistor dar. Herkömmliche Dioden und Transistoren bestehen aus anorganischen Materialien und sind an die Halbleitertechnologie gebunden, wodurch das Eigenschaftsprofil dieser Bauelemente auf natürliche Weise begrenzt ist. Halbleiterdioden und Transistoren lassen sich in viele Typen und Klassen einteilen.The transistor represents a key electronic component in information technology. Conventional diodes and transistors consist of inorganic materials and are bound to semiconductor technology, which means that the property profile of these components is naturally limited. Semiconductor diodes and transistors can be divided into many types and classes.
Bei den Transistoren unterscheidet man bipolare und unipolare Transistoren, die völlig unterschiedlich aufgebaut sind. Als ein Beispiel für einen unipolaren Transistor sei hier der Feldeffekttransistor (FET) genannt, der im Grundaufbau aus einem halbleitenden Stromkanal besteht, dessen Leitfähigkeit durch ein elektrisches Feld beeinflusst wird. Im Gegensatz zu den bipolaren Transistoren trägt zum Ladungstransport bei den unipolaren Transistoren nur eine Ladungsträgerart bei.In the case of transistors, a distinction is made between bipolar and unipolar transistors, which have a completely different structure. An example of a unipolar transistor is the field effect transistor (FET), which in its basic structure consists of a semiconducting current channel, the conductivity of which is influenced by an electric field. In contrast to the bipolar transistors, only one type of charge carrier contributes to the charge transport in the unipolar transistors.
Die bipolaren Transistoren haben u.a. in der Leistungselektronik Einzug gehalten und arbeiten mit positiven und negativen Ladungsträgern. Die gewünschten Ladungsträgerarten lassen sich durch Dotierung des Halbleitermaterials realisieren (vgl. K.-H. Rumpf und . Pulvers, Transistor-Elektronik, Verlag Technik, Berlin, 1982) .The bipolar transistors have i.a. found their way into power electronics and work with positive and negative charge carriers. The desired types of charge carriers can be realized by doping the semiconductor material (cf. K.-H. Rumpf and. Powder, transistor electronics, Verlag Technik, Berlin, 1982).
Neben der sprunghaften Entwicklung der Halbieitermaterialien in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten werden auch relativ lange schon organische Materialien hinsichtlich ihrer Halbleitereigenschaften analysiert. Als ein Vertreter ist das Antracen zu nennen, welches bereits in den 60er Jahren inrensiv unter-
sucht wurde (vgl. W. Helfrich und W.G. Schneider, J. Chem. Phys. 44, 8 (1996) 2902) .In addition to the rapid development of semiconductor materials in the past three decades, organic materials have also been analyzed for a relatively long time with regard to their semiconductor properties. Antracen should be mentioned as a representative, which was already in the was searched (cf. W. Helfrich and WG Schneider, J. Chem. Phys. 44, 8 (1996) 2902).
In den vergangenen Jahren sind eine große Anzahl von Forschungsergebnissen zu halbleitenden organischen Verbindungen veröffentlicht worden (vgl. G. Wegner , Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 20 (1981) 361; G. Horowitz, Adv. Materials 10, 5 (1998) 365) . Die meisten von diesen Verbindungen sind Donator-Akzeptor-Verbindungen, z.B. Tetrahiafulvalen-Tetracyano- quinodimethan (TTF-TCNQ) und andere analoge Verbindungen (vgl. D. Jerome und H.J. Schultz, Adv. Phys. 31 (1982) 299; M. Narita und C.U. Pittmann, Jr . Synthesis 489 (1976)). Verschiedene elektronische Bauteile, z.B. Schottky-Dioden und FETs, wurden mit organischen Verbindungen (z.B. Phthalocyani- nen) (vgl. T.J. Marks, Science 227 (1985) 881) und Polymeren (z.B. Polythiophene) (vgl. A.J. Lovinger und Lewis J. Rothberg, J. Mater. Res. 11 (1996) 1581) aufgebaut.A large number of research results on semiconducting organic compounds have been published in recent years (cf. G. Wegner, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 20 (1981) 361; G. Horowitz, Adv. Materials 10, 5 (1998) 365). Most of these compounds are donor-acceptor compounds, e.g. Tetrahiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) and other analogous compounds (see D. Jerome and H.J. Schultz, Adv. Phys. 31 (1982) 299; M. Narita and C.U. Pittmann, Jr. Synthesis 489 (1976)). Various electronic components, e.g. Schottky diodes and FETs were combined with organic compounds (e.g. phthalocyanines) (see TJ Marks, Science 227 (1985) 881) and polymers (e.g. polythiophenes) (see AJ Lovinger and Lewis J. Rothberg, J. Mater. Res. 11 (1996) 1581).
Organische Feldeffekttransistoren (OFET) wurden 1987 das erste Mal beschrieben und haben in den letzten Jahren eine sprunghafte Entwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Materialentwicklung genommen. In den letzten Jahren wurden vor allem Untersuchungen an Oligothiophenen (α-nT mit 3 < n < 8) , von denen das α-6T (vgl. G. Horowiti-., D. Fichou und F. Garnier, Solid State Commun . 70 (1989) 385) der bekannteste Vertreter mit der höchsten Mobilität der Ladungsträger unter den organischen Halbleitern ist, durchgeführt. Des weiteren werden aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe, dessen bekanntester Vertreter das Pentacen ist, für diesen Anwendungszweck eingesetzt. Die auf Pentacenen basierenden OFETs bestehen entweder aus Aufdamp filmen (vgl. C.D. Dimitrikapouios, A.R. Brown, A. Pomp, J. Appl . Phys. 80 (1996), 2501) oder werden durch Konversion aus einem löslichen Precursor-Molekül hergestellt (vgl. A.R. Brown, A. Pomp, C.M. Hart, D. de Leeuw, Science 270 (1995),
972). Die bisher existierenden, dem Stand der Technik zuzuordnenden Bauelemente haben die Nachteile, dass sie beim Aufbau sehr aufwendige Fertigungsverfahren erfordern. Dies lässt sich durch den Einsatz polymerer Materialien vermeiden.Organic field effect transistors (OFET) were first described in 1987 and have undergone rapid development in the field of material development in recent years. In recent years, studies have mainly been carried out on oligothiophenes (α-nT with 3 <n <8), of which the α-6T (cf. G. Horowiti-., D. Fichou and F. Garnier, Solid State Commun. 70 (1989) 385) is the best known representative with the highest mobility of charge carriers among organic semiconductors. Aromatic hydrocarbons, the best known of which is pentacene, are also used for this purpose. The OFETs based on pentacenes either consist of evaporation films (cf. CD Dimitrikapouios, AR Brown, A. Pomp, J. Appl. Phys. 80 (1996), 2501) or are produced by conversion from a soluble precursor molecule (cf. AR Brown, A. Pomp, CM Hart, D. de Leeuw, Science 270 (1995), 972). The previously existing components which can be assigned to the prior art have the disadvantages that they require very complex manufacturing processes for the construction. This can be avoided by using polymeric materials.
Überdies ist es für viele elektronische Geräte wünschenswert, Dioden und Transistoren einzusetzen, die sich durch Robust- heit, Leichtigkeit und Lichtdurchlässigkeit auszeichnen (vgl. M.C. Lonergan, Science 278 (1997) 2103) . Diese Materialeigenschaften lassen sich durch den Einsatz von polymeren Werkstoffen realisieren.Furthermore, it is desirable for many electronic devices to use diodes and transistors which are characterized by robustness, lightness and light transmission (cf. M.C. Lonergan, Science 278 (1997) 2103). These material properties can be achieved through the use of polymeric materials.

(b) p-leitendes Polymermaterial zwischen zwei n-leitenden Materialien, beispielsweise PODX/PTPA/PODX(a) n-type polymer material between two p-type materials, for example PTPA / PODX / PTPA (b) p-type polymer material between two n-type materials, for example PODX / PTPA / PODX

sowie BAYTRON®/PTPA/PODX/PTPA.and BAYTRON ® / PTPA / PODX / PTPA.
Neben dem oben erwähnten n-leitenden bzw. p-leitenden Polymermaterial weist das erfindungsgemäße polymere Schaltelement löcherinjizierende und elektroneninjizierende Elektroden auf. Als löcherinjizierende Elektrode eignen sich u.a. Materialien, die eine hohe Austrittsarbeir (> 4,5 eV) besitzen. Dazu zählen u.a. Gold, Platin und Indium-Zinn-Oxid (ITO) -Schichten. Die ITO-Schichten müssen durch spezielle Aufdampverfah- ren (RF-Sputtern) so ausgeführt werden, dass sie sowohl eine hohe optische Transparenz (> 80%) als auch eine hohe Leitfähigkeit (< 1 kΩ/ ) besitzen. Die typischen Schichtdicken müssen deshalb zwischen 80 und 150 nm liegen.In addition to the n-type or p-type polymer material mentioned above, the inventive polymer switching element has hole-injecting and electron-injecting electrodes. Suitable hole-injecting electrodes include Materials that have a high exit work area (> 4.5 eV). These include Gold, platinum and indium tin oxide (ITO) layers. The ITO layers must be designed using special vapor deposition processes (RF sputtering) so that they have both high optical transparency (> 80%) and high conductivity (<1 kΩ /). The typical layer thicknesses must therefore be between 80 and 150 nm.
Als elektroneninjizierende Elektroden eignen sich Materialien mit geringer Austrittsarbeit, z.B. Calcium, Aluminium, Mischungen aus Magnesium und Aluminium und Magnesium und Indium. Die Schichtdicken dieser Elektrode liegen im Bereich von 500 nm bis 1 μm.Materials with a low work function are suitable as electron-injecting electrodes, e.g. Calcium, aluminum, mixtures of magnesium and aluminum and magnesium and indium. The layer thicknesses of this electrode are in the range from 500 nm to 1 μm.
Die Herstellung solcher elektroneninjizierender Elektroden ist beispielsweise in Adachi, Ch . , Tetsuo, T. und Shogo, S., Appl. Phys. Lett . 55 (1989) 15, 1489 beschrieben.
Nach Präparation dieser Schichten und Schichtsysteme weisen diese einen oder mehrere p-n-Übergang/p-n-Übergänge auf, der/die m Abhängigkeit von der anliegenden Spannung sowohl in Flussrichtung betrieben als auch in Sperrrichtung geschaltet werden kann/können.The production of such electron-injecting electrodes is described, for example, in Adachi, Ch. , Tetsuo, T. and Shogo, S., Appl. Phys. Lett. 55 (1989) 15, 1489. After preparation of these layers and layer systems, these have one or more pn-transition / pn-transitions, which can be operated in the direction of flow as well as in the blocking direction depending on the applied voltage.
Die Elektroden werden dabei an den Grenzflächen der Materialien untereinander und an den begrenzenden Schichten angebracht. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, eine polymere Zwischenschicht zu verwenden, welche zur Anpassung der Injektionsbarrieren an die polymeren Schichten dient. Eine solche polymere Zwischenschicht (3) ist in Figur 1 dargestellt. In dieser Ausführungsform befindet sich die polymere Zwischenschicht zwischen dem Elektrodenmaterial (2) und der Schicht mit löcherleitendem Charakter (p-Material) (4).The electrodes are attached to the interfaces between the materials and to the delimiting layers. It is expedient to use a polymeric intermediate layer which serves to adapt the injection barriers to the polymeric layers. Such a polymeric intermediate layer (3) is shown in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the polymeric intermediate layer is located between the electrode material (2) and the layer with a hole-conducting character (p-material) (4).
Die polymere Zwischenschicht kann aus einem leitfähigen Polymer bestehen (z.B. Polyethylendioxythiophen) und aus handelsüblichen Materialien hergestellt werden. Als zweckmäßig erweist sich die Verwendung von BAYTRON® der Firma Bayer AG, Leverkusen .The polymeric intermediate layer can consist of a conductive polymer (for example polyethylene dioxythiophene) and can be produced from commercially available materials. The use of BAYTRON ® from Bayer AG, Leverkusen, has proven to be expedient.
Die erfindungsgemäßen polymeren Schaltelemente weisen gegenüber den im Stand der Technik bekannten Schaltelementen, welche anorganische Komponenten umfassen, den Vorteil auf, dass sie besser verarbeitbar sind und eine deutlich erhöhte Formgebbarkeit aufweisen.The polymeric switching elements according to the invention have the advantage over the switching elements known in the prior art, which comprise inorganic components, that they are easier to process and have a significantly increased formability.
Des weiteren sind die polymeren Schaltelemenfe kostengünstiger unter umweltgerechten Prozessbedingungen herstellbar. Die Erfindung kann auf dem Gebiet der elektronischen Bauelemente auf Polymerbasis eingesetzt werden. Sie soll beim Entwurf neuartiger Schaltelemente genutzt werden, die vollständig aus polymerer Basis aufgebaut sind. Diese Bauelemente können mit
organischen Elektrolumineszenzanzeigen kombiniert und zur An- steuerung verwendet werden.Furthermore, the polymer switching elements can be manufactured more cost-effectively under environmentally friendly process conditions. The invention can be used in the field of polymer-based electronic components. It is to be used in the design of new switching elements that are made entirely of polymer.

Eine auf einem Glassubstrat von ca. 5 cm2 aufgebrachte ITO- Schicht (50 nm) dient als Trägermaterial und lochinjizierende Elektrode. Eine polymere Zwischenschicht wird durch spin- coating der Dispersion eines leitfähigen Polymers (BAYTRON®) und anschließender Trocknung bei 100°C erzeugt.An ITO layer (50 nm) applied on a glass substrate of approx. 5 cm 2 serves as carrier material and hole-injecting electrode. A polymeric intermediate layer is created by spin-coating the dispersion of a conductive polymer (BAYTRON ® ) and then drying at 100 ° C.
Darauf wird aus einer in Dimethylacetamid löslichen Polyamidcarbonsäure durch spin—coating ein dünner Film aufgebracht, der durch einen thermischen Prozess bei 200°C unter Vakuumbedingungen (< 10~3 bar) in eine unlösliche Polyimidschicht (PTPA) mit einer Dicke von 100 nm umgewandelt wird. Danach wird eine strukturierte Aluminiumelektrode von ca. 80 nm Dicke abgeschieden. Anschließend erfolgt das Aufbringen einer PODX-Schicht (100 nm) . Eine weitere strukturierte Aluminiumelektrode schließt den Transistoraufbau ab. Die Aluminium- elektroden sind geometrisch dabei so angeordnet, dass sich die aktiven Flächen mit ca. 50 % überlappen.Then a thin film is applied from a polyamide carboxylic acid soluble in dimethylacetamide by spin-coating, which is converted into an insoluble polyimide layer (PTPA) with a thickness of 100 nm by a thermal process at 200 ° C under vacuum conditions (<10 ~ 3 bar) , A structured aluminum electrode with a thickness of approximately 80 nm is then deposited. A PODX layer (100 nm) is then applied. Another structured aluminum electrode completes the transistor structure. The aluminum electrodes are geometrically arranged so that the active areas overlap by approx. 50%.

Doing so Voltage is applied between the PTPA and PODX layers, with PTPA acting as the emitter, AI as the base and PODX as the collector.
Aus der resultierenden Strom-Spannungs-Kennlinie gemäß Figur 3 lassen sich Schaltvorgänge nachweisen. Mit den in dem erfindungsgemäßen polymeren Schaltelement eingesetzten konjugierten Polymersystemen lassen sich somit Dioden und Transistoren aufbauen.
