Description

Material zur Herstellung einer Funktionsschicht eines organischen elektronischen Bauelements Material for producing a functional layer of an organic electronic component
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Material zur Herstellung einer Funktionsschicht eines organischen elektronischen Bauelements, insbesondere ein zur Verarbeitung durch Drucken geeignetes Material .The invention relates to a material for producing a functional layer of an organic electronic component, in particular a material suitable for processing by printing.
Bekannt sind druckbare Materialien insbesondere für organische elektronische Bauelemente wie organische aktive Komponenten wie beispielsweise Dioden, Transistoren, Kondensatoren, selbstemittierende und/oder photovoltaische Bauelemente, Bauelemente basierend auf elektrochromen Schichten, und so weiter, die bevorzugt polymere Substanzen in Lösungsmittel umfassen. Durch die Lösung der Substanz im speziellen Lösungsmittel oder durch die Herstellung einer stabilen Suspension wird diese zu einer druckbaren Lösung bzw. Paste verarbeitet. Nach der Aufbringung muss das Lösungsmittel wieder entfernt werden. Diese Arbeitsschritte tragen nicht unerheblich zur gesamten Verteuerung der elektronischen organischen Bauelemente bei.Printable materials are known in particular for organic electronic components such as organic active components such as diodes, transistors, capacitors, self-emitting and / or photovoltaic devices, components based on electrochromic layers, and so forth, which preferably comprise polymeric substances in solvent. By dissolving the substance in a special solvent or by producing a stable suspension, it is processed into a printable solution or paste. After application, the solvent must be removed again. These steps contribute not insignificantly to the overall increase in the cost of electronic organic components.
So können im Großen und Ganzen zwar billige organische elektronische Bauelemente hergestellt werden, jedoch sind die Materialien zur Herstellung der einzelnen leitenden, halbleitenden und isolierenden Funktionsschichten noch nicht vollständig im Hinblick auf Druckbarkeit oder einer anderen massenfertigungstauglichen Herstellungsmethode optimiert. Insbesondere bei der Herstellung der oftmals metallischen leitfähigen Schichten muss noch auf aufwendige (also beispielsweise unter Inertgasatmosphäre stattfindende) Herstellungsverfahren wie Aufdampfen, Chemical Vapor Deposition und sonstige, nur unter Schutzgasatmosphäre ausführbare Methoden zurückgegriffen werden.Thus, while generally low cost organic electronic devices can be made, the materials for making the individual conductive, semiconductive, and insulating functional layers are not yet fully optimized for printability or other mass production method of manufacture. Particularly in the production of the often metallic conductive layers, it is still necessary to resort to costly (ie, for example under inert gas) production processes such as vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and other methods which can only be carried out under a protective gas atmosphere.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Material oder eine Matrix für verschiedene Funktionsschichten organischer elektronischer Bauelemente zu schaffen, das in einfachen und daher kostengünstigen Arbeitsschritten verarbeitbar ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a material or a matrix for various functional layers of organic electronic components, which can be processed in simple and therefore cost-effective working steps.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Material für eine Funktionsschicht eines organischen elektronischen Bauelements, wobei in einem Polymer als Matrix ein leitfähiger, halbleitender, photo- und/oder thermoaktiver, selbstemittierender, elektrochromer und/oder isolierender Stoff so gelöst oder enthalten ist, dass die funktionellen Eigenschaften des Funktionsstoffs in der Polymermatrix zumindest erhalten oder sogar durch die Eigenschaften der polymeren Matrix positiv verstärkt werden, während die Polymermatrix die einfache Verarbeitbarkeit und Stabilität des Funktionsstoffes bewirkt. Ebenso ist Gegenstand der Erfindung die Herstellung eines für ein organisches elektronisches Bauelement geeigneten Gels oder SoIs, das in einer Polymermatrix den Funktionsstoff zur Bildung der funktionellen leitenden, halbleitenden, photoaktiven selbstemittierenden, elektrochromen und/oder isolierenden Schicht enthält. Die Erfindung ermöglicht erstmals die kostengünstige Verarbeitung und/oder Auftragung ansonsten instabiler funktioneller Materialien für die organische Elektronik.The invention relates to a material for a functional layer of an organic electronic component, wherein in a polymer as a matrix, a conductive, semiconducting, photo- and / or thermoactive, self-emitting, electrochromic and / or insulating material is dissolved or contained so that the functional properties of the functional material in the polymer matrix are at least maintained or even positively reinforced by the properties of the polymeric matrix, while the polymer matrix causes the simple processability and stability of the functional substance. The invention likewise relates to the preparation of a gel or sol which is suitable for an organic electronic component and which contains in a polymer matrix the functional substance for forming the functional conductive, semiconductive, photoactive self-emitting, electrochromic and / or insulating layer. For the first time, the invention makes possible the cost-effective processing and / or application of otherwise unstable functional materials for organic electronics.
Das Polymer kann nur als Matrix dienen, also im Gesamtsystem inaktiv sein, oder aktiv die Funktionalität des Bauelements verbessern. Insofern ist das Polymer aktiv oder inaktiv am Gesamtsystem beteiligt, während es den Funktionsstoff stabilisiert .The polymer can only serve as a matrix, ie be inactive in the overall system, or can actively improve the functionality of the component. In this respect, the polymer is actively or inactively involved in the overall system while stabilizing the functional agent.
Das Material liegt beispielsweise als Blend verschiedener gefüllter Polymermatrizen und/oder als eine Materialkombination oder - mischung vor.The material is present, for example, as a blend of various filled polymer matrices and / or as a material combination or mixture.
Der Funktionsstoff ist im Material „enthalten", also beispielsweise suspendiert oder in Sol/Gelform stabilisiert, beispielsweise physikalisch und/oder chemisch stabilisiert, enthalten. Dabei kann es durchaus vorkommen, dass Lösungsmittelreste im Material enthalten sind, die im fertigen Bauteil, nach Herstellung der funktionellen Schicht nicht mehr nachweisbar sind.The functional substance is "contained" in the material, that is to say suspended or stabilized in sol / gel form, for example physically and / or chemically stabilized, It may well happen that solvent residues are contained in the material in the finished component after production of the functional layer are no longer detectable.
Als „Material für die Funktionsschicht" wird die Kombination des polymeren Matrixmaterials mit dem enthaltenen Funktionsstoff bezeichnet, wobei das Material immer zumindest beides umfasst, aber beliebige weitere Stoffe, wie beispielsweise Additive zur besseren Verarbeitbarkeit , Katalysatoren, Farbpigmente, Leitfähigkeitspigmente etc. zugesetzt sein können.The term "material for the functional layer" denotes the combination of the polymeric matrix material with the functional substance contained, wherein the material always comprises at least both, but any further substances, such as additives for better processability, catalysts, color pigments, conductive pigments, etc. may be added.
Ein organisches elektronisches Bauelement kann ein organischer Feld-Effekt-Transistor, eine organische Diode, ein organischer Kondensator, eine organische photovoltaisch aktive Zelle, ein organisches Licht emittierendes Element, eine organische elektrochrome Schicht, ein organischer Photodetektor oder ein beliebiges anderes elektronisches Bauteil das massenfertigungstauglich herstellbar ist, sein.An organic electronic device may be an organic field effect transistor, an organic diode, an organic capacitor, an organic photovoltaic active cell organic light-emitting element, an organic electrochromic layer, an organic photodetector or any other electronic component that can be mass produced.
Als „Druckmedium" wird in der Regel das bezeichnet, was verdruckt wird. Es handelt sich beispielsweise um die Farbe beim Bedrucken. Dazu weist das Druckmedium eine bestimmte Viskosität und eine bestimmte Rheologie auf. Die Werte dieser Parameter variieren stark nach den eingesetzten Druckmethoden und sind in Standardwerken zur Drucktechnik, wie beispielsweise in dem Buch Helmut Kipphan „Handbuch der Printmedien" Springer Verlag, nachlesbar. Die Viskosität eines Druckmediums reicht demnach von pastös (ca. 100 Pa*s) bis dünnflüssig (ca. ImPa *s) .The term "print medium" usually refers to what is printed, for example, the ink used for printing, and the print medium has a certain viscosity and rheology, the values of which vary widely depending on the printing methods used in standard works on printing technology, such as in the book Helmut Kipphan "Handbook of print media" Springer Verlag, readable. The viscosity of a pressure medium therefore ranges from pasty (about 100 Pa * s) to thin liquid (about ImPa * s).
Ein Druckmedium ist im Allgemeinen eine Flüssigkeit, besitzt also Fließfähigkeit, jedoch wandelt es sich nach dem Verdrucken in einen Feststoff um. Dazu entweicht entweder Lösungsmittel und/oder eine Vernetzung findet statt. Ein Druckmedium ist so beschaffen, dass es bei der Wechselwirkung mit Druckzylinder und bei der Wechselwirkung mit dem Druckstoff (da wo es draufgedruckt wird) die jeweiligen Oberflächen des Druckstoffs und/oder des Druckzylinders benetzt. Dabei darf das Druckmedium beispielsweise nicht abperlen. Bevorzugt werden flüchtige Lösungsmittel im Druckmedium wieder entfernbar sein, bei UV/thermisch härtenden Lacken als Druckmedium entweicht hingegen in der Regel kein Lösungsmittel .A printing medium is generally a liquid, thus has fluidity, but it transforms into a solid after printing. This either escapes solvent and / or crosslinking takes place. A printing medium is designed to wet the respective surfaces of the printing material and / or the printing cylinder when interacting with printing cylinders and interacting with the printing material (where it is printed on it). For example, the print medium must not bead off. Preferably, volatile solvents in the printing medium will be removable again, in UV / thermally curing paints as the printing medium, however, escapes usually no solvent.
Dem Polymer, das gemäß der Erfindung als Matrixmaterial eingesetzt werden kann, sind grundsätzlich keine Grenzen gesetzt. Es kann sich um alle Arten polymerer Kunststoffe handeln, beispielsweise können alle bekannten halbleitenden polymere Kunststoffe wie Polymere auf der Basis von PEDOT/PSS oder PANI, Polythiophen, Polyfluoren, PPVs oder ähnlichem eingesetzt werden.The polymer which can be used according to the invention as a matrix material, are in principle no limits. It can be all types of polymeric plastics For example, all known semiconducting polymeric plastics such as polymers based on PEDOT / PSS or PANI, polythiophene, polyfluorene, PPVs or the like can be used.
Im Gegensatz zu den bisher verwendeten Systemen dient das Polymer hier nicht nur als Hilfe zur Verarbeitbarkeit und/oder zur Stabilisierung, sondern kann auch als Verstärkungsmaterial der funktionellen Eigenschaften der funktionellen Schicht beitragen. So kann beispielsweise bei der Herstellung einer photovoltaisch aktiven Schicht eine Polymermatrix genommen werden, die lichtverstärkend wirkt, bei FETs oder generell allen leitenden Schichten kann die Polymermatrix eine Stabilisierung des Gesamtsystems bewirken.In contrast to the systems used hitherto, the polymer serves not only as an aid to processability and / or stabilization, but can also contribute to the functional properties of the functional layer as a reinforcing material. Thus, for example, in the production of a photovoltaically active layer, a polymer matrix can be taken which acts as a light intensifier; in the case of FETs or generally all conductive layers, the polymer matrix can bring about a stabilization of the overall system.
Nach einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Polymermatrix die Stabilisierung des Gesamtsystems und/oder eine zusätzliche Funktion (z.B. photovoltaisch aktive, OFETs...) übernehmen.According to another embodiment of the invention, the polymer matrix can take over the stabilization of the overall system and / or an additional function (for example photovoltaically active, OFETs.
Ebenso kann zur Herstellung einer leitfähigen Schicht, beispielsweise mit einem Metall als Funktionsstoff, eine leitfähige oder halbleitende Polymermatrix eingesetzt werden, wodurch die Leitfähigkeit des Materials verstärkt wird.Likewise, to produce a conductive layer, for example with a metal as a functional substance, a conductive or semiconductive polymer matrix can be used, whereby the conductivity of the material is enhanced.
Nach der Erfindung werden Gele oder Sole, also stabile Suspensionen von Funktionsstoffen und/oder Nanopartikel der Funktionsstoffe mit speziellen funktionellen Eigenschaften geschaffen, die einfach und vorteilhafterweise unter Normalbedingungen verdruckt werden können.According to the invention, gels or sols, ie stable suspensions of functional substances and / or nanoparticles of the functional substances with special functional properties are created, which can be printed easily and advantageously under normal conditions.
Als Funktionsstoffe oder funktionelle Grundsubstanzen kommen alle Substanzen zur Herstellung organischer elektronischer Bauelemente in Frage. Insbesondere können auf die Art photochrome und/oder thermochrome Partikel oder Nanopartikel, sensible Metallpartikel oder Metalllegierungspartikel, Farbstoffpartikel, oder sonstige charge-transfer Partikel in Polymermatrizen eingearbeitet werden. Diese Partikel verbessern auch die Performance von organischen Photodetektoren und/oder elektrochromen Elementen. Die Einarbeitung dieser Partikel war bislang noch nicht kostengünstig möglich, da diese Partikel sonst nur in aufwendigen Abscheidungsprozessen verarbeitbar waren.As functional substances or functional basic substances all substances come to the production of organic electronic Components in question. In particular, photochromic and / or thermochromic particles or nanoparticles, sensitive metal particles or metal alloy particles, dye particles, or other charge-transfer particles can be incorporated in polymer matrices in the manner described. These particles also improve the performance of organic photodetectors and / or electrochromic elements. The incorporation of these particles has not yet been possible at low cost, since these particles could otherwise only be processed in complex deposition processes.
Als Funktionsstoffe kommen n-leitende Farbstoffe (Elektronenakzeptoren) beispielsweise in Kombination mit p- leitenden polymeren Trägermaterialien zur Anwendung, wie Übergangsmetallkomplexe. Beispielhaft genannt seien Ruthenium- Komplexe, Eisen-Komplexe und andere Komplexe wie A1Q3, Bor- Komplexe oder ähnliches.Functional substances used are n-conducting dyes (electron acceptors), for example in combination with p-conducting polymeric support materials, such as transition metal complexes. Examples include ruthenium complexes, iron complexes and other complexes such as A1Q3, boron complexes or the like.
Weitere Funktionsstoffe sind photochrome und thermochrome Pigmente. Außerdem finden als Funktionsstoffe Nanopartikel mit löslichkeitsvermittelnden Seitengruppen Verwendung wie z.B. Alkylgruppen, (z.B. Silber-Nanopartikel, Silizium- Nanopartikel, Gold-Nanopartikel, Zinkoxid, Gallium-Arsenid, Indiumphosphorverbindungen oder ähnliches) , woraus beispielsweise Antennen gedruckt werden.Other functional substances are photochromic and thermochromic pigments. In addition, as functional substances, nanoparticles with solubilizing side groups are used, such as e.g. Alkyl groups (e.g., silver nanoparticles, silicon nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, zinc oxide, gallium arsenide, indium phosphorus compounds or the like) from which, for example, antennas are printed.
Außerdem können als Funktionsstoffe niedermolekulare Zusatzstoffe zur Funktionsmodifikation oder Dotierung des polymeren Trägermaterials zugegeben werden. Beispiele dafür FeCl3, J2, PSS.In addition, low molecular weight additives for functional modification or doping of the polymeric carrier material can be added as functional substances. Examples of FeCl 3 , J 2 , PSS.
Es können beispielsweise auch anionische- und/oder Säurefarbstoffe (z.B. Indigocarmin, Fuchsin), Metallkomplexfarbstoffe wie organische Metallkomplexfarbstoffe (Kupfer-Komplexe, Chrom-Komplexe, Palladium-Komplexe, Cyano- Metall-Komplexe, generell Übergangsmetallkomplexe) und/oder anorganische Metallkomplexfarbstoffe (Cobaltpigmente, Chromkomplexe (Chromoxidgrün) , Ägyptisch Blau, Eisenoxidpigmente, Indigo, Purpur, Zinnober ), Bor- Komplexe, Aluminium Komplexe, Lewis Säuren (z.B. FeC13), Halogene (z.B. J2), Polystyrolsulfonsäure (PSS), Lewis-Basen, (z.B. Amine), Reduktionsmittel, Oxidationsmittel, Redoxsysteme oder Allotrope eingesetzt werden.For example, it is also possible to use anionic and / or acid dyes (for example indigo carmine, fuchsin), Metal complex dyes such as organic metal complex dyes (copper complexes, chromium complexes, palladium complexes, cyano metal complexes, in general transition metal complexes) and / or inorganic metal complex dyes (cobalt pigments, chromium complexes (chrome oxide green), Egyptian blue, iron oxide pigments, indigo, magenta, cinnabar) , Boron complexes, aluminum complexes, Lewis acids (eg FeC13), halogens (eg J2), polystyrenesulfonic acid (PSS), Lewis bases (eg amines), reducing agents, oxidizing agents, redox systems or allotropes.
Außerdem können Nanopartikel mit Löslichkeitsvermittelnden Seitengruppen, wie z.B. Alkygruppen (z.B. Ag-Nanopartikel, Si- Nanopartikel, Au-Nanopartikel, Zinkoxid, GaAs, InP, Nanotubes, insbesondere Carbonanotubes, z.B. als Elektroden- oder Antennenmaterialien, sowohl in gelöster als auch suspendierter Form eingesetzt werden. Die Veröffentlichung von Wessels et al in JACS, 2004, 126, 3349-3356 zeigt, dass Au-Nanopartikel in löslicher Form herstellbar sind und somit in einer Polymermatrix verdruckt werden können.In addition, nanoparticles having solubility-promoting side groups, e.g. Alkygroups (eg, Ag nanoparticles, Si nanoparticles, Au nanoparticles, zinc oxide, GaAs, InP, nanotubes, especially carbon nanotubes, eg as electrode or antenna materials, both in dissolved and suspended form.) The Wessels et al JACS, 2004, 126, 3349-3356 shows that Au nanoparticles can be prepared in soluble form and thus can be printed in a polymer matrix.
Überraschenderweise entstehen nach der Erfindung Materialien mit denen durch einfache Druckverfahren in kostengünstigen Rolle-zu-Rolle Druckprozessen und/oder durch Spincoaten dünnste Funktionsschichten für elektronische organische Bauelemente beispielweise in einer Dicke von 10 bis 500 nm (nm- bis μm-Bereich möglich) hergestellt werden. Zum Beispiel werden bei der Verarbeitung von Goldnanopartikeln (~ 4nm) in Lösung in Polythiophen als polymerer Matrix Schichtdicken von 10-300nm erreicht (Resultate in PFET siehe Anwendungsbeispiel) . N-Leitende Farbstoffe (Elektronenakzeptoren) können in Kombination mit p-leitenden polymeren Trägermaterialien in Farbstoff-/Grätzel-Solarzellen (z.B. Ru-Komplexe, Fe-Komplexe, evtl. A1Q3, Bor-Komplexe....) zur Anwendung kommen.Surprisingly, according to the invention, materials are produced which are produced by simple printing processes in cost-effective roll-to-roll printing processes and / or by spincoating thinnest functional layers for electronic organic components, for example in a thickness of 10 to 500 nm (nm to μm range possible) , For example, in the processing of gold nanoparticles (~ 4nm) in solution in polythiophene as the polymeric matrix, layer thicknesses of 10-300 nm are achieved (results in PFET see application example). N-conducting dyes (electron acceptors) can be used in combination with p-conducting polymeric support materials in dye / Grätzel solar cells (eg Ru complexes, Fe complexes, possibly A1Q3, boron complexes, etc.).
Photochrome und thermochrome Pigmente wie z. B. Leuco- farbstoffe, z.B. Indigo-Weiss, oder Spironaphtoxazine und/oder Naphtopyrane, beispielsweise mit Aluminium, Goldbronze, Cadmium können aus Lösung verdruckt werden. Inwieweit die oder das Lösungsmittel noch nach der Herstellung der funktionellen Schicht in der Schicht nachweisbar ist, kann variieren und ist zum einen von der Art des Lösumgsmittels abhängig und zum zweiten vom gesamten Herstellungsprozess bis zur Verkapselung .Photochromic and thermochromic pigments such. Leuco dyes, e.g. Indigo-white, or spironaphthoxazines and / or naphthopyrans, for example with aluminum, gold bronze, cadmium can be printed from solution. The extent to which the solvent or solvents can still be detected in the layer after the functional layer has been produced may vary and depends, on the one hand, on the nature of the solvent and, on the other, on the entire production process up to the encapsulation.
Gelöste oder suspendierte Nanopartikel, wie beispielsweise nanotubes, insbesondere Carbonanotubes, können als Elektroden- und/oder Antennenmaterialien eingesetzt werden.Dissolved or suspended nanoparticles, such as nanotubes, especially carbon nanotubes, can be used as electrode and / or antenna materials.
Niedermolekulare Zusatzstoffe wie FeC13, J2, PSS können der Funktionsmodifikation (Dotierung) des polymeren Trägermaterials dienen.Low molecular weight additives such as FeC13, J2, PSS can serve the functional modification (doping) of the polymeric carrier material.
Anwendungsbeispiel für Gold-NanopartikelApplication example for gold nanoparticles
• Herstellung von Gold-Nanopartikeln mit Löslichkeitsvermittelnden Gruppen zur Verwendung in organischen Solventien, wie beispielsweise Toluol (J. M. Wessels et al . , Optical and Electrical Properties of Three-Dimensional Interlinked Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies; JACS 2004, 126, 3349-3356)Preparation of Gold Nanoparticles with Solubility Promoting Groups for Use in Organic Solvents, Such as Toluene (J.M. Wessels et al., Optical and Electrical Properties of Three-Dimensional Interlinked Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies; JACS 2004, 126, 3349-3356)
• Mischung der in Toluol gelösten Gold-Nanopartikel mit (in organischen Lösungsmitteln) gelösten polymeren p- bzw. n- Halbleitern ist in unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen möglich. Die Losungen sind stabil.Mixture of the dissolved gold nanoparticles in toluene with (in organic solvents) dissolved polymeric p- or n- Semiconductors is possible in different concentrations. The solutions are stable.
• Einsatz der Mischung (keine Suspension sondern echte Losung) für alle gangigen Beschichtungsverfahren, wie Spincoaten oder alle Druckverfahren. Für Spincoaten und verschiedene Druckverfahren (bei PoIyIC und Kurz) bereits gezeigt.• Use of the mixture (not suspension but real solution) for all common coating processes, such as spincoats or all printing processes. For spincoats and different printing processes (at PoIyIC and Kurz) already shown.
• Funktionalität des Trägermaterials , beispielsweise F3HT wird verbessert: Fig. 1 und Fig. 2.• Functionality of the carrier material, for example F3HT is improved: FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.
Alle Konzentrationen an Metall-Nanopartikeln (z.B. GoId-All concentrations of metal nanoparticles (e.g.
Nanopartikeln) einstellbarNanoparticles) adjustable
-^ Die Funktionalltat der Nanopartikel verglichen mit dem polymeren halbleitenden Tragermaterial überwiegt bei hohenThe function of the nanoparticles compared to the polymeric semiconducting carrier material predominates at high levels
Konzentrationenconcentrations
-> Metalle sind aus Losung druckbar, z.B. für Elektroden oder-> Metals are printable from solution, e.g. for electrodes or
Antennenantennas
Der Vorteil der Erfindung ist vor allem darin zu sehen, dass im Gegensatz zu den Losungsmitteln der polymeren Funktionsmaterialien, die nach dem Stand der Technik diese durch Druck verarbeitbar gemacht haben, die polymere Matrix nach der Erfindung im fertigen Bauteil beibehalten werden kann und sogar je nach Wahl der Matrix die funktionellen Eigenschaften des Materials positiv verstarken kann. Es wird also das Verdrucken von Zusatzstoffen ermöglicht, die ohne Polymermatrix nicht, beispielsweise im roll-to-roll Prozess druckbar waren . The advantage of the invention is to be seen in the fact that, in contrast to the solvents of polymeric functional materials that have made them processable by the prior art, the polymeric matrix according to the invention in the finished component can be maintained and even depending on Choice of matrix can positively enhance the functional properties of the material. It is thus possible to print additives which were not printable without a polymer matrix, for example in a roll-to-roll process.
