Definitions
- the invention relates to processes for the vapor deposition of one or more compounds, preferably solid at 25 ° C. and 1 bar, onto a support by:
- step (iv) the compound precipitated in step (iii) is converted again into the gaseous state, preferably sublimed and then
- the gaseous compound precipitates on the carrier, which preferably has a temperature below the sublimation temperature of the compound, preferably evaporates, preferably in the form of a preferably homogeneous layer.
- the invention further relates to carriers obtainable in this way and in particular to organic light-emitting diodes or photovoltaic cells containing the carriers according to the invention.
- the invention also relates to powdered organic semiconductor compound.
- Organic light-emitting diodes or organic solar cells which are based on a semiconducting layer structure, are generally known.
- evaporable crystalline or amorphous solids are deposited on a substrate via the gas phase.
- the initial state of these solids is usually the solid in powdered form.
- These powders are generally first evaporated from a source kept above the evaporation or sublimation temperature and mixed with a gas stream also kept above the sublimation temperature. Powders are usually produced by grinding processes.
- the disadvantages mentioned above should be avoided in the process to be developed. In particular, decomposition of sensitive materials and fluctuating evaporation rates should be significantly reduced.
- pulverized compounds, in particular pulverized organic semiconductors should be made available, which are particularly suitable for vapor deposition on supports and thus for the production of organic light-emitting diodes or photovoltaic cells.
- the carrier gas stream containing the gaseous compound (s) is cooled to a temperature lower than the sublimation temperature of the compound (s) by supplying a gas stream, ie a further gas stream, ie a quenching gas stream, and preferably thus sublimed and thus converted into the solid state.
- a gas stream ie a further gas stream, ie a quenching gas stream, and preferably thus sublimed and thus converted into the solid state.
- the separation of the gaseous compounds due to the supply of the quench gas can provide a very finely divided powder with a very narrow particle size distribution that has an increased evaporation rate at the same temperature and evaporates in a narrow temperature window can be.
- Another advantage is the lower tendency to decompose. In the case of components that are difficult to sublimate, the temperature of the evaporation process can be reduced, so that any further material components present are not subjected to unnecessary thermal stress. In addition, by reducing the particle size, the evaporation rate can be increased significantly, so that an evaporation process can be accelerated. This advantage applies in particular to molecular jet processes in which the powder to be evaporated is flowed through by a preheated gas stream at low pressure.
- the narrow particle size distribution results in a uniform loading of the carrier gas stream with the component to be vapor-deposited, so that ideally uniform layer thicknesses can be produced on the carrier.
- the evaporation temperature measured by thermogravimetry drops by an average of 30 K.
- the proportion of decomposed material demonstrable as residue in the evaporation source, drops from an average of 30% to 4%. Due to the narrow particle size distribution, the evaporation rate remains constant over the entire evaporation period. This can be demonstrated by the unimodal peak in the derivative of the TGA curve over time. Another possibility of detection is an isothermal TGA just below the sublimation temperature.
- According to the invention is thus a method for the vapor deposition of one or more compounds on a carrier by converting a compound into the gaseous state and then depositing it on a carrier, the compound being in the form of a powder with an average particle size of less than 10 ⁇ m by sublimation in the gaseous state is transferred.
- the gas stream supplied to the carrier gas stream i.e. the quench gas stream has a temperature which is at least 10 ° C., preferably 100 to 700 ° C. lower than the temperature of the carrier gas stream.
- the volume ratio of carrier gas stream to gas stream which is fed in is preferably between 10: 1 and 1: 100.
- the volume flows can usually be selected in a known manner by the person skilled in the art depending on the size of the system.
- the quench gas stream can preferably be supplied via the porous wall of a tube.
- the carrier gas stream can flow around this porous tube so that the cold quench gas is added from the inside of the tube through the pores into the flow of the carrier gas stream.
- the tube that conducts the carrier gas stream itself can have a porous wall, so that the cold quench gas is added from the outside of the tube into the warm carrier gas stream. Both methods of addition can also be combined.
- the quench gas is preferably added by axial addition to the carrier gas stream. Examples of materials that are suitable for the production of such tubes are porous sintered metal and sintered ceramic tubes.
- connection is to be understood as the connection (s) that are to be deposited on the carrier.
- the compound or compounds are preferably non-metallic materials with melting points of more than 50 ° C.
- the compounds are particularly preferably organic semiconductor materials, where “organic” has meaning in the sense of the usual chemical definition.
- Step (i), ie the transfer of the connection into the carrier gas stream can be carried out according to the invention by generally known methods for introducing solid substances into a carrier gas stream, preferably by means of a brush metering.
- Brush dosing of this type is generally known.
- Corresponding devices for brush dosing are commercially available, for example, from Palas®, Düsseldorf, Germany, under the name particle dosing device RBG 1000.
- the principle of brush dosing is based on a stainless steel block (dispersion head) in which a brush is rotatably mounted.
- the connection to be transferred into the carrier gas stream is pushed against the rotating brush from a preferably cylindrical storage container, with individual particles of the connection being carried along by the brush.
- connection located on and / or in the rotating brush is blown out of and / or from the brush by means of a carrier gas stream and transported away in the carrier gas stream through the dust outlet nozzle.
- Further information on the particle dispenser RBG 1000 can be found in the operating instructions RBG-1000, Palas® GmbH, 1994.
- the compounds are generally in a solid state and as a powder Solids, preferably with a particle size with an average diameter of 1 nm to 100000 nm, particularly preferably 5 nm to 10000 nm, preferably transferred from the brush into the carrier gas stream.
- the compound is preferably introduced into the carrier gas stream in the solid state below the sublimation temperature.
- the carrier gas stream is preferably a laminar gas stream, preferably with a carrier gas velocity between 0.01 m / s and 1 m / s.
- the compound is preferably brought into the center of a laminar gas stream of the carrier gas in a swirl-free manner. This reduces contact with the hot inner tube walls of the furnace, in which the compounds in step (ii) are sublimed and / or evaporated.
- a jacket gas stream heated to furnace temperature can be introduced coaxially around the carrier gas stream in order to reduce particle movement to the inner wall of the pipe.
- gases preferably those which are inert to the compound to be absorbed, can be used as carrier gas, for example air, carbon dioxide, noble gases, nitrogen.
- Steps (i), (ii) and (iii) are preferably carried out at a pressure, preferably of the carrier gas, between 0.001 mbar and 110,000 mbar, particularly preferably between 0.1 mbar and 1100 mbar.
- the respective sublimation temperature results directly from the selected pressure.
- the carrier gas, into which the compound is preferably introduced in the solid state preferably has a temperature between 10 ° C. and 300 ° C., particularly preferably 10 ° C. to 100 ° C. It is therefore preferred in (i) to introduce the compound in the solid state below the sublimation temperature, preferably by means of a brush metering into the carrier gas stream.
- Step (ii), ie the guidance of the compound in gaseous state in the carrier gas when the compound in gaseous state is introduced into the carrier gas and / or preferably the evaporation or sublimation of the solid compound in the carrier gas stream can be carried out by means of generally known heating devices, for example by heating the carrier gas stream and the compound located in this gas stream to a temperature above the sublimation temperature by means of microwaves, infrared and / or near-infrared radiation sources.
- the carrier gas stream and the connection can preferably be heated in a hot-wall oven.
- the expression "hot-wall oven” is preferably to be understood as meaning an externally heated and insulated flow tube, preferably with a circular cross section.
- the pulverized compound is preferably converted into the gas phase. Evaporation of the pulverized compound in the carrier gas stream can take place very quickly, which can minimize the time between heating and deposition.
- the connection in the carrier gas stream is preferred at a temperature between 100 ° C and 1000 ° C, particularly preferably between 101 ° C and 600 ° C in the gaseous state.
- the solid compound is converted into the gaseous state at a pressure of 0.1 to 2200 mbar.
- the precipitation of the gaseous compound according to the invention by supplying quench gas takes place by cooling and thus desublimation.
- the gaseous compounds in the carrier gas stream are thus cooled to a temperature below the sublimation temperature in such a way that the carrier gas stream containing the gaseous compound is obtained by supplying a second gas stream, i.e. a so-called quench gas stream, cools down.
- the temperature setting can be selected by the volume ratio of carrier gas flow to quench gas flow.
- the quench gas can be, for example, the gases which can also be used as carrier gas.
- the precipitation or separation of the gaseous compound in step (iii) is preferably carried out at a pressure of 0.1 mbar to 2200 mbar.
- the gaseous compound is preferably precipitated from the carrier gas stream at a temperature of the carrier gas, i.e. after supplying the quench gas, from 10 ° C to 300 ° C, particularly preferably 10 ° C to 150 ° C, in particular 10 to 100 ° C.
- connection is preferably in the gaseous state for a period of at most 100 s, particularly preferably 0.01 s to 30 s, in particular 1 s to 10 s, i.e. between evaporation and / or sublimation in the heating phase (ii) and (iii) deposition, before, i.e. the duration in which the compound is kept at a temperature above the sublimation temperature is preferably very short, with the result that decomposition of the sensitive compounds is avoided.
- the pulverized compounds obtainable in step (iii) are preferably deposited on the surfaces of generally known electrostatic precipitators or particle filters, the pulverized compounds being removed from the surface from time to time and stored in powder containers.
- the storage can take place under the pressures described under (iii), preferably at ambient pressure.
- the compound (s) precipitated in step (iii) are preferably in the form of powder, preferably having an average particle size of less than 10 ⁇ m, particularly preferably between 1 nm and 1000 nm, in particular between 1 nm and 200 nm.

Accordingly, the compound (s) deposited in step (iii) preferably have a surface charge between one (1) and ten (10) elementary charges, which can be detected, for example, with a Faraday Cup arrangement.
- step (iii) The compounds precipitated in step (iii) are preferably converted into the gaseous state again in step (iv), for example as shown for (i) and (ii), i.e. in solid and / or gaseous form, for example, introduced into a carrier gas stream and converted into the gaseous state in the carrier gas stream, and then deposited in step (v) on a carrier.
- step (iv) i.e. in solid and / or gaseous form

- the supports obtainable according to the invention with the vapor-deposited compound or the vapor-deposited compounds which preferably have a layer with a total thickness between 1 nm to 500 nm, particularly preferably 10 to 400 nm, are particularly suitable for the production of electronic devices, for example organic light-emitting diodes, thin-film solar cells or others Devices with electroluminescent layer structure such as Suitable photovoltaic cells, preferably organic light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic cells, particularly preferably light-emitting diodes.
- the pulverized organic semiconductor compound according to the invention has between 1 and 10 elementary charges, which can be detected, for example, with a Faraday cup arrangement.
- the powdered organic semiconductor compounds according to the invention can be in the form of pellets or tablets.
- Powdery copper phthalocyanine was transferred to a nitrogen stream (approx. 1 m 3 / h) using a brush dosing device (Palas, RBG 1000) under ambient conditions. This was then passed into a hot wall oven, an externally heated, insulated flow tube with a circular cross section. In this, the solid copper phthalocyanine was completely converted into the gas phase average temperatures from 500 to 600 ° C. Appropriate flow control prevented the contact of the solid copper phthalocyanine with the hot inner tube walls of the furnace and thus thermal decomposition of the particles.
- Desublimation was then carried out in a quench apparatus by axially adding cold nitrogen in an amount of 0.5 to 2.0 m 3 / h into the hot gas stream laden with copper phthalocyanine vapor.
- the gas flow cooled down to temperatures below 250 ° C.
- the amount of cold gas By varying the amount of cold gas, both the size of the particles and the distribution width can be controlled.
- the fine particles were separated in an electrostatic filter.
- thermogravimetric experiment a sample of copper phthalocyanine crude pigment (ground, particle size> 1 ⁇ m) and a sample of the copper phthalocyanine nanopowder prepared in Example 1 were heated at a heating rate of 5 K / min and the weight loss of the crucible was recorded over time. The intersection of the turning point tangent of the weight-time curve with the baseline was determined as the evaporation temperature (onset). It is 422.7 ° C for the raw pigment. It is 400.7 ° C. for the nanopowder according to the invention.
- the evaporation rate was determined as the maximum of the first derivative of weight loss over time.
- the evaporation rate for the raw pigment is - 9.3% / min, for the nanopowder according to the invention the evaporation rate is - 21.9% / min.
- the TGA curve of the raw pigment also has a shoulder at higher temperatures, which is due to the broad particle size distribution of the ground raw pigment. In contrast, the evaporation curve of the narrowly distributed nanopowder is monomodal.
