Definitions
- the invention relates to a security and / or value document with a security feature, an ink for producing the security feature, a method for producing such a security and / or
- Value document as well as a method for verifying such a security and / or value document.
- Luminescent substances are those substances which fluoresce or phosphoresce upon excitation with light of sufficient energy, for example UV. These are energetic transition processes at the molecular or atomic level whose transition dipole moment is not zero (fluorescence) or zero (phosphorescence). The wavelengths or energies of the fluorescence or the phosphorescence are specific for the respective substances, since they correspond to the difference of the energy levels of the two states, between which one
- Security feature for example, held under a UV light source, it lights up and can be seen by direct inspection.
- Fluorescent inks or inks are very common in the trade and easy to obtain. Therefore, it is easy for unauthorized persons to obtain a suitable fluorescent ink and thus produce fake security and / or value documents with a fluorescent security feature.
- 5,841,151 discloses various group II semiconductor contacts based on InAs x Py and In p Ga q As x P y , the two materials mentioned being in direct contact with one another and with x and y on the one hand and p and q on the other hand always being ., to 1.
- this reference also effects on the wave functions of holes and electrons are described, which are associated with the application of a potential to the contact.
- Further similar contacts from two different group III / V semiconductors are for example from the
- Value document with a luminescent security feature to provide which provides further security against counterfeiting and improved detectability of counterfeits while continuing to produce the security and / or value document.
- the invention is therefore based on the technical problem of specifying a security and / or value document which has a luminescent security feature which has an increased security against forgery.
- the invention teaches a security and / or value document containing a security feature with a semiconductor subregion comprising at least a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer, which are contacted with each other and form a type II semiconductor contact system.
- Type II semiconductor contacts exhibit luminescence due to the particular physics of the relationships, the decay time of which, by suitable selection and calculation of the materials, is in ranges between those of classical fluorescence and phosphorescence.
- Type II semiconductor contacts are indeed in other technical Areas such as quantum well structures for laser diodes, quite common, but the decay time of the luminescence plays at most a minor role.
- a security and / or value document according to the invention can still be verified by simple inspection, but additionally by measuring the decay time of the luminescence it contains a second inherent and hidden security feature that can be read out and verified , It is a covert security feature, since the decay time is determinable only by apparatus and can not be recognized by visual inspection. If a cooldown measured on a security and / or value document to be examined does not correspond to a reference cooldown for the true security feature, the security and / or value document being examined may be recognized as a forgery and discarded or confiscated, regardless of the identifiable and, if applicable, measurable wavelength of fluorescence or luminescence.
- Type II semiconductor contacts are not readily available commercially, especially as a counterfeiter would also have to make a suitable selection or calculation of the semiconductor materials, which is simple and familiar to a person skilled in the solid state physics, but does not belong to the basic knowledge in counterfeiting circles. Finally, the production of type II semiconductor contacts is costly if the equipment required for this purpose, including operating personnel, is not readily available.
- a security feature according to the invention will generally be designed such that the semiconductor subregion or the semiconductor subregions form a pattern. Such a pattern may be a similar pattern for different security and / or value documents. Then, the pattern is suitable for verification of one type of security and / or valuable document.
- Examples of such document type-specific lateral patterns are: seals, coats of arms, regular or irregular surface patterns, such as line coats or guilloches, ID and 2D barcodes.
- This may be visible or non-visible under normal light patterns, the non-visible patterns differ from the visible patterns in that the non-visible pattern only by means of technical aids, such as UV source visible.
- the pattern can also be an individual pattern for different security and / or value documents (of the same document type), which pattern is coded in particular for identification information of the security and / or value document.
- the following (pattern-coded) data can be used: alphanumeric character strings, such as personal data records, parts of personal data records, such as names, first names, address,
- Date of birth, place of birth, and / or document data parts of document data such as serial number, issuing authority, issue date, expiration date, and other data, in particular digital data, public key (in the case of a readable chip document or for access to centralized or decentralized databases) and / or checksums, and biometric data such as a photo, fingerprint, venous pattern of, for example, the hand or finger, iris and / or retina.
- It is preferably a character string that uniquely identifies the document and / or the document carrier.
- this string can also be a string not otherwise shown in the document.
- value and / or security document includes in the context of the invention in particular identity cards, passports, ID cards, access control cards, visas, tax stamps, tickets, driver's licenses, motor vehicle papers, banknotes, checks, postage stamps, credit cards, any smart cards and adhesive labels (eg product assurance).
- security and / or value documents typically have a substrate, a printing layer and optionally a transparent cover layer.
- a substrate is a support structure to which the print layer is applied with information, images, patterns, and the like. Suitable materials for a substrate are all customary materials based on paper and / or plastic in question.
- the physical relationships of the invention are shown below.
- the coefficients of spontaneous emission (A) and induced absorption (B) are related according to Einstein:
- ⁇ Ea is the transition dipole moment of the considered transition, which is given as:
- ⁇ is the respective wave function of the ground state A and of the excited state E
- r is the spatial coordinate
- d ⁇ is the time differential
- int * stands for the integral sign.
- the Einstein coefficient of spontaneous emission is thus proportional to the square of the overlap integral. If one applies this knowledge to semiconductor contacts made of different semiconductors, then the relationships shown with reference to FIGS. 1a and 1b result.
- Figure la shows a type I contact between semiconductor materials A and B, where the abscissa is a spatial coordinate and the ordinate is the energy.
- the solid lines show the courses of the conduction band (CB, conduction band) and the valence band (VB, valence band).
- Semiconductor material B, the conduction band and the valence band are each energy-shifted with different signs to the conduction band and the valence band of the semiconductor material of the semiconductor material A.
- the band gap is the smallest in the region of the semiconductor B.
- the wave functions ⁇ (dashed lines) have an extreme value in the region of the semiconductor material B, that is, close to each other, so that the overlap integral is maximal.
- Figure Ib shows a type II contact between semiconductor materials "A and B in an analog representation.
- the semiconductor material B are here the conduction band and the valence band, respectively with same sign with respect to the conduction band and the valence band of the semiconductor material of the Semiconductor material A energy shifted.
- the extreme values of the wave functions ⁇ are spatially separated, namely on the one hand in the semiconductor material A (GS) and on the other hand in the semiconductor material B (ES), which corresponds to type II
- Semiconductor contacts is characteristic. Due to the spatial distance of the wavefunction extrema, there is a lower probability of spontaneous emission with the immediate consequence of the extension of the luminescence decay time compared to the type I contact semiconductor system.
- these relationships can be further enhanced by arranging a separating layer C between the semiconductor materials A and B.
- the energy of its conduction band is closer to the conduction band of the semiconductor material A and the energy of its valence band closer to the valence band of the semiconductor material B.
- the extreme values of the wave functions ⁇ are arranged further apart from each other so that there is a further reduction in the probability of spontaneous emission and, consequently, a further extension of the decay time.
- a measured decay time is highly specific for the semiconductor material used for a security feature.
- the term of the semiconductor subregion denotes a subregion of a security and / or value document according to the invention, which is formed by a type II semiconductor contact.
- the security and / or value document may be a macroscopic structure, for example of the order of magnitude of 1 mm 2 and more.
- microscopic structures, in particular microparticles or nanoparticles act as subarea, as described elsewhere.
- Such a semiconductor subregion of a security and / or value document according to the invention can be produced by A) optionally growing epitaxially on a substrate a first barrier layer B) preferably a first semiconductor layer of a first semiconductor material is epitaxially grown on the barrier layer, C ) optionally on the first semiconductor layer, a separating layer of a release layer semiconductor material preferably

- step F) optionally the layer structure obtained in steps A) to E) are divided into particles to obtain the layer structure by division in directions perpendicular to the planes of the layer structure, wherein the
- first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material are selected with the proviso and doped if necessary, that the valence band and the conduction band of the second semiconductor material with respect to the valence band and the conduction band of the first semiconductor material in each case with
- the separation layer semiconductor material has a conduction band, which is energetically closer to the conduction band of the first semiconductor material, and a valence band, which is energetically closer to the valence band of the second
- Semiconductor material is, or vice versa.
- the production of the layers, in particular the epitaxial layers can be carried out in the usual way.
- MBE Molecular Beam Epitaxy
- MOVPE Metal-Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy
- these methods with the equipment to be used, substances to be used, as well as Abscheidungs gs slaughter according to the composition of a desired semiconductor layer are well known to those skilled in semiconductor technology and need not be further explained here.
- one or more of the semiconductor layers, for example the barrier layers may be doped.
- an n-doped semiconductor is a semiconductor in which the electrical conduction takes place via electrons on the basis of donor atoms with excess valence electrons.
- nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic and antimony are suitable for the n-doping of silicon.
- n-doping of GaP or (AlGa) P semiconductors for example, silicon and tellurium are suitable.
- acceptors include boron, aluminum, gallium and indium.
- GaP or (AlGa) P acceptors such as magnesium, zinc or carbon are possible.
- particles according to the invention can be synthesized in solution according to the abovementioned references.
- the term of a contact between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer designates the planar connection of such layers either directly or with the interposition of a separating layer or a plurality of directly connected to each other Separating layers of different Trenn fürleiter- materials.
- the layer thicknesses of the first and second semiconductor layers and optionally of the barrier layers are not critical and can be in the range of 0.1 nm to 1 mm, but are preferably between 5 nm and 10 ⁇ m.
- the layer thickness of the separating layer or the sum of the thicknesses of a plurality of separating layers is rather small and should be in the range from 0.1 to 100 nm, preferably in the range from 0.5 to 50 nm, in particular in the range from 0.5 to 20 nm, lie.
- the semiconductor subregion can be formed in various ways.
- semiconductor subregions are formed as semiconductor particles, which are arranged in the security and / or value document or on its surface.
- the particles are not electrically contacted in the simplest version, electroluminescence can not take place.
- This can be done by incorporation into a substrate, for example made of paper or plastic, in a printing layer applied to the substrate, for example in the context of an ink, and / or in a covering layer on the printing layer, for example of a transparent plastic.
- a multiplicity of semiconductor particles are set up in a printing ink applied or applied in or on the security and / or value document. are mixed, since then the entire production process differs from conventional production processes only in that an ink added to the semiconductor particles according to the invention is processed.
