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, and 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 energy transfer 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 there is a relaxation from the excited state, and lie mostly in the visible range.
  • Fluorescence typically shows a decay time of 10 ns and less, since it is a dipole-allowed transition (transition dipole moment not equal to zero), while phosphorescence typically has settling times in the range from 1,000 ⁇ s to several hours, since these are dipole-forbidden transitions (transition dipole moment) equals zero).
  • Prohibited transitions have a comparatively low transition probability, resulting in comparatively slow transitions.
  • the physical background of this behavior is for example the reference PW Atkins, Physical Chemistry, 2nd Edition, VCH, Weinheim, New York, Basel, Cambridge, Tokyo, 1996, pages 563 et seq. , detailed.
  • security features with fluorescent substances have the advantage that with the simplest means a review is possible, in addition to very cost-effective production. If such a security feature, for example, held under a UV light source, it lights up and can be seen by direct inspection.
  • WO02 / 53677 discloses an ink for security documents with fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals.
  • 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, which comprises 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 hidden security feature, since the decay time is determinable only by equipment 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.
  • 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, 1D 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 may be used: alphanumeric strings, such as personal records, parts of personal records, such as names, first names, address, date of birth, place of birth, and / or document data, pieces of document data, such as serial number, issuing office, Date of issue, expiry date, and other data, in particular digital data, public key (in the case of a document with a read-out chip 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.
  • this string can also be a string not otherwise shown in the document. It is also possible to provide a plurality of patterns which can overlap each other (laterally) and yet can be read out separately, whether by the detected luminescence wavelength or by the measured decay time. Of course, it is also possible to provide a plurality of patterns which do not overlap each other (laterally). In both cases, in particular combinations of document type-specific patterns and individual patterns are possible and preferred.
