Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a flexible multi-layer thin film durability evaluation apparatus and method,

The present invention relates to thin film testing techniques, and more particularly, to thin film durability testing techniques.

Multilayer thin film based electronic devices such as thin film transistors, thin film batteries, thin film solar cells, and thin film displays are essential elements for realizing a flexible or foldable device. Flexible devices must have resistance and durability to bending that was not needed in existing electronic devices.

Typically, various electronic devices implemented as a multilayer structure on a fired substrate not only degrade mechanical properties such as cracks in the device layer after hundreds of thousands of bending cycles, but also voltage-current characteristics may vary. In addition, peeling occurs between the thin films and the multilayer thin film itself is damaged.

In order to evaluate the durability of the flexible multilayer film, the ability to withstand mechanical damage such as cracking or peeling should be evaluated. Conventionally, in order to measure the durability of the flexible multilayer thin film, it has been inevitable to evaluate the surface damage and the electrical performance deterioration that have occurred after performing the bending cycle of several hundred to several thousand times.

When the multilayer thin film is bent, stresses of different magnitudes are applied to the bonded films. Since the stress is applied in different directions by the compressive stress in the inner thin film and tensile stress in the outer thin film, there is a stress-free side in the middle of the multilayer thin film, and this plane is referred to as a neutral plane, neutral axis. Using this point, it is known to determine the thickness of the layers constituting the multilayered film such that the neutral plane lies in the middle of the thin film corresponding to the element layer.

If the neutral plane is formed in the middle of the element layer thin film and flexible and stretchable materials having conductivity are used, it is possible to reduce the degradation of mechanical and electrical performance due to cracks.

For the embodiments of the invention disclosed herein, specific structural and functional descriptions are set forth for the purpose of describing an embodiment of the invention only, and it is to be understood that the embodiments of the invention may be practiced in various forms, The present invention should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described in Figs.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements in the drawings and redundant explanations for the same constituent elements are omitted.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of evaluating a durability of a flexible multilayer thin film according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, a flexible multi-layer thin film durability evaluation method performed by a computer includes the steps of: calculating a load-depth curve according to a nano-indentation test on a thin film constituting a multilayer thin film in step S11; (Force-Depth Curve).

In order to measure the mechanical properties of the thin film and to analyze the interface characteristics between the thin film and the base substrate, the nano indentation test was carried out by pressing the tip made of a diamond material onto the thin film surface while measuring the applied load and the depth Compression test (uniaxial compression test).

Such a nanoindentation test can be performed individually for each of the plurality of thin films constituting the multilayer thin film as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, the thickness of the multilayer thin film is 400 nm, and the thicknesses of the two thin films constituting the multilayer thin film are 100 nm and 300 nm, respectively. The upper thin film is a flexible organic semiconductor QQT (CN) 4 thin film and the lower thin film is a ferroelectric polymer PVDF-TrFE thin film.

With reference to the basal plane of the multilayer film, the interface is at a position of 300 nm, and the geometrical center plane is at a position of 200 nm.

The neutral axis position where the internal stress or elastic energy (or strain energy density) is minimum when such multilayer thin film is bent will be located somewhere on the longitudinal axis (thickness) in the multilayer thin film. It is possible to know the difference between the ideal neutral axis position and the actual interface position due to the physical properties of the thin films obtained through the nanoindentation test, and the strength stress or elastic energy level according to the physical properties of the thin films can be known at the actual interface position.

Accordingly, the durability of the individual multilayer thin films can be quantified, or the durability among various multilayer thin films can be relatively compared.

FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating a load-depth curve measured according to a nanoindentation test in the structure of a multilayer thin film to which a flexible multilayer thin film durability evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

In Figure 3, the load-depth curve begins at the origin corresponding to the load-depth relationship at the point at which the Berkovich tip begins to apply the load, for example, as the tip penetrates into the thin film, The load is also increasing.

When the indentation depth reaches a predetermined final indentation depth, a change in the indentation depth is measured while gradually removing the load.

The final indentation depth may be determined, for example, in accordance with the ISO-14577 standard, which is recommended to be within 10 to 15% of the thickness of the film or to ensure that the average roughness is within 5% of the final indentation depth.

As the load is removed, the thin film is partially recovered from the pressed shape depending on the physical properties. From the degree of recovery, the elasticity and plasticity characteristics of the material can be deduced.

Referring again to FIG. 1, in step S12, the computer can calculate the elastic moduli of the respective films from the shape of the load-depth curve.

The elastic modulus of the thin film can be calculated according to the following equation (1).

Figure 112015033045386-pat00012

here,

Figure 112015033045386-pat00013
Is the elastic modulus calculated by the indentation test, π is the circularity, S is the initial slope of the load-depth curve at the load removal stage as shown in FIG. 3, A p is the initial slope of the load- (Projected Contact Area).

Meanwhile,

Figure 112015033045386-pat00014
Is an effective modulus of elasticity that simultaneously takes account of the elastic deformation of the thin film and the indentation tip.

In step S13, the computer can derive the neutral axis position-elastic modulus ratio relationship on the thickness of the multilayered film.

The elastic modulus ratio is the ratio of the elastic modulus of the upper thin film to the elastic modulus of the lower thin film among the multilayer thin films.

In order to analyze the stress when the multilayer thin film is bent, this multilayer thin film can be converted into thin films made of the same material as shown in Fig. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the conversion of a multilayer thin film for calculating a neutral axis using a modulus of elasticity in a multilayer thin film structure to which a flexible multilayer thin film durability evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

In Fig. 4, Fig. 4 (a) is an original multilayer thin film, in which thin films of width W and different materials are stacked.

At this time, if the elastic modulus (E QQT (CN) 4 ) of the upper thin film is n times the elastic modulus (E PVDF-TrFE ) of the lower thin film, that is, if the elastic modulus ratio is n, then the effective sectional area of the upper thin film is n times.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the original multi-layer thin films having different physical properties but having the same width have different widths (n times longer), but the physical properties can be converted into multi- have.

In such a multi-layered film, the position of the neutral axis with respect to the bottom surface of the multi-layered film can be calculated by the following equation (2).

Figure 112015033045386-pat00015

Here, h is the neutral axis position, i is the order of the thin film, y ci is the centroid height of the i th thin film, and A i is the effective sectional area of the i th thin film. At this time, the elastic modulus ratio n is included in the effective sectional area A i of each thin film.

For example, in the case of a multilayer thin film composed of two thin films as shown in FIG. 2 and each thin film having a thickness of 300 nm and 100 nm, the center plane height of each thin film is 150 nm and 350 nm, The neutral axis position can be expressed as a function of the ratio of the modulus of elasticity to the height of the thin film center plane (which depends on the film thickness).

Figure 112015033045386-pat00016

The neutral axis position according to Equation (3) is the same as in Fig. 5 is a graph illustrating the relationship between the modulus of elasticity and the neutral axis in the structure of the multilayer thin film to which the flexible multilayer thin film durability evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

In FIG. 5, the actual boundary surface position of the multilayer thin film is 300 nm, and the geometric center surface position is 200 nm. When the modulus of elasticity modulus n is decreased, the neutral axis position of the multilayered film becomes close to 150 nm when the modulus of elasticity ratio n is small. When the modulus of elasticity ratio n is large, the modulus of elasticity modulus n approaches 350 nm. function.

According to the graph of FIG. 5, when the elastic modulus ratio n is 10 in the present multilayered film structure, the neutral axis position is located at approximately 300 nm, and the interface and the neutral axis position are substantially aligned, The applied stress is very small and is therefore expected to be the most stable.

If the elastic modulus ratio n is 1, the neutral axis position is approximately 200 nm, and is somewhat distant from the interface, so that some stress appears at the interface when bent.

In the experimental results obtained with the actual organic semiconductor QQT (CN) 4 thin film and the ferroelectric polymer PVDF-TrFE thin film, the elastic modulus ratio n was about 1.6, in which case the neutral axis position is calculated as 221 nm.

Since the neutral axis position can be expressed as a function of the elastic modulus ratio, the position of the neutral axis can be determined from the relationship between the neutral axis position-elastic modulus ratio and the actual elastic modulus ratio.

Using this relationship, returning to FIG. 1, in step S14, the computer calculates the elastic modulus obtained from the elastic modulus of the thin films constituting the multilayer thin film and the relationship between the neutral axis position- Depending on the non-measured value, the neutral axis position can be determined.

Meanwhile, the method of evaluating the durability of the flexible multilayer thin film according to an embodiment of the present invention can further analyze the internal stress according to the change of the modulus of elasticity.

Specifically, in step S15, the computer calculates the elastic modulus ratio obtained from the distribution of the internal stress due to the change in the elastic modulus ratio and the elastic modulus ratio obtained from the elastic moduli of the thin films constituting the multilayered thin film, The internal stress can be estimated at the interface position of the thin films.

Even if each thin film is not broken at the time of bending, the multilayer thin film can no longer function when peeling occurs, which is a phenomenon in which thin films are separated at the interface. Therefore, the durability of the multilayer thin film can be evaluated by the possibility of peeling at the interface position. The method for evaluating the durability of the flexible multilayer thin film according to the embodiment of the present invention can analyze the internal stress according to the elastic modulus ratio at the interface position as shown in the following Equation (4).

Where M is the moment applied to the outside, I T is the moment of inertia of the entire cross-sectional area with respect to the neutral axis, and y is the moment of inertia of the cross- Distance from the neutral axis, and n is the modulus of elasticity modulus.

The distribution of the internal stress according to the change of the modulus of elasticity ratio calculated according to Equation (4) is shown in FIG. 6 is a graph illustrating the relationship between the modulus of elasticity and the normalized internal stress in the structure of the multilayer thin film to which the flexible multilayer thin film durability evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

In Fig. 6, the elastic modulus ratio n is represented by a logarithmic scale, and the internal stress is expressed by a logarithm while being normalized to denominator when n = 1.

In the case of the elastic modulus ratio n = 1.6 in the actual experimental example, it can be seen that there is almost no difference between the internal stresses at the interface positions based on the elastic modulus ratio n = 1. When the elastic modulus ratio n increases to 9, the internal stress sharply decreases. However, when the modulus of elasticity ratio n exceeds 9, the internal stress rapidly increases again.

 Accordingly, it can be seen that, in the case of the multilayer thin film designed to have the thickness as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to obtain a desired durability if the elastic modulus ratio of the thin films can be designed so as to be closer to 9 than to 9.

In the case of the multilayer thin film having the thickness as shown in FIG. 2, the multilayer thin films composed of the thin films having the elastic modulus ratio of about 0.1 to 3 have no difference in terms of the internal stress at the interface, that is, It can be seen that it will be similar.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the method of evaluating the durability of a flexible multilayer thin film according to an embodiment of the present invention can further analyze the strain energy density according to the change of elastic modulus ratio.

Specifically, in step S16, the computer is configured to construct the multilayer thin film according to the distribution of the strain energy density according to the change in the elastic modulus ratio and the elastic modulus ratio obtained from the elastic modulus of the thin films constituting the multilayer thin film It is possible to estimate the strain energy density at the interface of the thin films.

The flexible multilayer thin film durability evaluation method according to the embodiment of the present invention can analyze the strain energy density according to the elastic modulus ratio at the interface position as shown in the following Equation (5).

FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating the relationship between elastic modulus ratio and strain energy density in a multilayer thin film structure to which a flexible multilayer thin film durability evaluation method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

7, the elastic modulus ratio n is represented by a logarithmic scale, and the strain energy density is represented by a logarithmic scale while being normalized to denominator when n = 1.

In the case of the elastic modulus ratio n = 1.6 in the actual experimental example, it can be seen that the strain energy density at the interface position has almost no difference based on the elastic modulus ratio n = 1. As the elastic modulus ratio n increases, the strain energy density decreases sharply when it approaches 9, but sharply increases again when the elastic modulus ratio n exceeds 9.

 Accordingly, it can be seen that, in the case of the multilayer thin film designed to have the thickness as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to obtain a desired durability if the elastic modulus ratio of the thin films can be designed so as to be closer to 9 than to 9.

In the case of the multilayer thin film designed to have the thickness shown in FIG. 2, the multilayer thin films composed of the thin films having the elastic modulus ratio of the thin films have no difference in terms of the strain energy density at the interface, that is, Can be seen to be similar.

Referring again to FIG. 1, in an optional step S17, the computer can quantify durability based on the interface position and the neutral axis position of the thin films constituting the multilayered film. Accordingly, the durability may be quantified with absolute reference based on experimental data, or may be relatively compared among the control groups.
