Definitions
- the present invention relates to an organic display panel, an organic display device, an organic light emitting device, a manufacturing method thereof, and a thin film forming method.
- Organic light-emitting elements used as light sources for organic display panels, organic display devices, and organic light-emitting devices are light-emitting elements that utilize the electroluminescence phenomenon of organic materials.
- a top emission type organic light emitting device for example, a thin layer (lower electrode) made of aluminum, silver or the like is formed on a substrate made of glass, and a hole injection layer made of an oxide of a transition metal is further formed thereon.
- the hole injection layer of such an organic light emitting device is formed by reactive sputtering using oxygen plasma using a target member made of a transition metal, for example.
- a substrate 904 on which a lower electrode 903 is formed is placed on a substrate holding portion 902 disposed in a vacuum vessel 901.
- the target member 906 is installed in the target member holding portion 905 disposed in the substrate, and then, as shown in FIG. 23B, argon gas and oxygen gas are supplied into the vacuum vessel 901 and sputtered.
- FIG. 23C the surface of the target member 906 is oxidized to form a surface layer 906a made of a transition metal oxide, and as shown in FIG. 23D, the surface layer 906a of the target member 906 is formed.
- the hole injection layer 907 is formed by transferring the oxide to the lower electrode 903.
- oxygen plasma used in the reactive sputtering method has a characteristic that aluminum and silver are very easily oxidized. Therefore, in an organic light emitting device having a hole injection layer 907 formed by reactive sputtering, an oxide film 908 formed by oxidizing aluminum, silver, or the like is generated on the surface of the lower electrode 903. In many cases, this causes a decrease in the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting device. For example, when the oxide film 908 made of silver oxide is generated, the light reflection of the lower electrode 903, which is a reflective electrode, is hindered, thereby reducing the light emission efficiency of the organic light emitting device.
- the oxide film 908 made of aluminum oxide when generated, the oxide film 908 has a high electric resistance, so that the driving voltage of the organic light emitting element increases, and as a result, the light emission efficiency of the organic light emitting element decreases. It will be.

- ITO indium tin oxide
- an oxide film 908 is eventually generated on the surface of the lower electrode 903 by the oxygen plasma.
- the transparent conductive layer is formed without using oxygen plasma, aluminum or silver on the surface of the lower electrode 903 is transparent if the transparent conductive layer and the lower electrode 903 are in contact with each other. Since oxygen is taken from the conductive layer and oxidized, an oxide film 908 is also formed on the surface of the lower electrode 903. Therefore, even if a transparent conductive layer is formed, it is difficult to sufficiently suppress a decrease in light emission efficiency of the organic light emitting element, and it is difficult to obtain a high luminance organic display panel.
- the present invention has as its main object to provide a high-brightness organic display panel, an organic display device, an organic light-emitting device, and methods for producing them.

- the transition metal oxide layer 302 is oxidized into a transition metal oxide layer 302a by reactive sputtering when the transition metal oxide layer 303 is formed. Conceivable. More specifically, first, the transition metal oxide layer 302a has a relatively high transmittance. This is apparent from the fact that Sample 1 in which the transition metal oxide layer 303 having an average thickness of 12 nm is formed has a higher transmittance than Sample 2 in which the transition metal oxide layer 303 is not formed. Next, the transition metal layer 302 has lower transmittance than the transition metal oxide layer 302a.
- the transition metal layer 302 having a low transmittance has become a transition metal oxide layer 302a having a relatively high transmittance, so that the transition metal layer 302 having a low transmittance remains. It can be considered that the transmittance is higher than 2.

- the organic light emitting device having the configuration of the example has a driving voltage higher than that of the organic light emitting devices having the configurations of Conventional Example 1 and Conventional Example 2. It was low. It can be considered that this is because the oxide film does not exist on the lower electrode 3 and the electrical resistance is not increased by the oxide film.
- FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a measurement result of the luminous efficiency of the organic light emitting device.
- the organic light-emitting elements having the configurations of the examples had higher luminous efficiency than the organic light-emitting elements having the configurations of Conventional Example 1 and Conventional Example 2, although there was some variation depending on the emission color.
- the mixed oxide thin film was formed by adhering sputtered particles in an amount such that the average thickness of the metal layer was 1 nm or less on the glass substrate.
- the average of the metal layer on the glass substrate was used.
- the organic light emitting device of the comparative example was compared with the organic light emitting device of the example.
- the luminous efficiency was also low. It can be considered that this is because the transition metal of the adhering sputtered particles is not sufficiently oxidized by the reactive sputtering, a part remains as the transition metal, and the reflectance of the lower electrode is lowered.

<第1の実施形態に係る薄膜形成方法>
第1の実施形態に係る薄膜形成方法では、以下に説明する第1工程、第2工程および第3工程がその順で行われる。図8は、本発明の一態様に係る薄膜形成方法を説明するための工程図である。図8を用いて第1工程、第2工程および第3工程を説明する。
第1工程では、図8(a)に示すように、アルミニウム、銀、あるいはそれらの少なくとも1つを含む合金からなる下部電極3(薄層)を形成した基板1を、基板保持部22に設置すると共に、遷移金属、あるいはその合金からなるターゲット部材30を、ターゲット保持部23に設置し、真空容器21内において基板1およびターゲット部材30を互いに対向させる。
第2工程では、図8(b)に示すように、真空容器21内に酸素が存在しない、あるいは下部電極3が酸化しない程度に酸素が存在する条件下で、ターゲット部材30をスパッタリングし、下部電極3の表面に遷移金属のスパッタ粒子30aを付着させ、図8(c)に示すように、下部電極3上に混合層4aを形成する。
第3工程は、図8(d)に示すように、第2工程の後、真空容器21内に酸素が存在する条件下でターゲット部材30をスパッタリング(反応性スパッタリング)し、図8(e)に示すように、混合層4aを酸化させて混合酸化薄膜4を形成する。
第1の実施形態では、第3工程中に遷移金属酸化物層の形成工程を行う。
図9は、第1の実施形態に係る混合酸化薄膜の酸化プロセスを説明するための概念図である。第2工程において、例えば、アルミニウムからなる下部電極3の表面に、タングステンからなるスパッタ粒子を付着させると、図9(a)に示すように、イオンボンバードにより深さ数nmレベルで下部電極3を構成するアルミニウムと、スパッタ粒子を構成するタングステンとが混合されてなる混合層4aが形成される。この状態でさらに第3工程において反応性スパッタリングを行うと、図9(b)に示すように、酸素プラズマ処理により混合層4aが酸化され混合酸化薄膜4が形成される。なお、第3工程において遷移金属酸化物層の形成工程を行った場合は、堆積される遷移金属酸化物によっても混合層4aは酸化される。
以上のような工程により、第1の実施態様に係る薄膜形成方法では、下部電極3の表面を酸化させることなく、下部電極3上に混合酸化薄膜4を形成することができる。
第2の実施形態に係る薄膜形成方法は、第2工程において、混合層4a上にさらに金属層4bを形成する点が、金属層4bを形成しない第1の実施形態に係る薄膜形成方法と大きく異なる。以下では、その大きく異なる点についてのみ詳細に説明し、それ以外の点については簡略する。
第3の実施形態に係る薄膜形成方法は、第2工程において、混合層4aを形成しない点が、混合層4a形成する第2の実施形態に係る薄膜形成方法と大きく異なる。以下では、大きく異なる点についてのみ詳細に説明し、それ以外の点については簡略する。
以上のような第1~第3の実施の形態を一例とする本発明の一態様に係る薄膜形成方法は、真空容器内に酸素が存在しない、あるいは薄層が酸化しない程度に酸素が存在する条件下で、ターゲット部材をスパッタリングし、遷移金属のスパッタ粒子を前記薄層の表面に付着させる第2工程と、前記第2工程後、前記真空容器内に酸素が存在する条件下でスパッタリングし、前記薄層を構成するアルミニウム、銀あるいはそれらの少なくとも1つを含む合金と、前記スパッタ粒子を構成する前記遷移金属とを混合状態で酸化させて、混合酸化薄膜を前記薄層上に形成する第3工程と、を有するため、薄層の表面上にアルミニウムや銀等の酸化物からなる酸化膜が形成されることを抑制することができる。
<混合酸化薄膜の断面状態>
TEM(透過型電子顕微鏡)を用いて、混合酸化薄膜の断面状態を観察した。図14は、下部電極の表面付近の断面状態を示す電子顕微鏡写真であって、図14(a)は、従来例1の構成として、下部電極上に直接正孔注入層を形成した場合であり、図14(b)は、従来例2の構成として、下部電極上にIZOからなる透明導電層を形成した後に正孔注入層を形成した場合であり、図14(c)は、実施例の構成として、下部電極上に平均厚み1nmの混合酸化薄膜を形成した後に正孔注入層を形成した場合である。
次に、反応性スパッタリングにより遷移金属からなる金属層が酸化すると、透過率が高くなることを実験により確認した。図20は、反応スパッタリングによる酸化の効果を説明するための図である。
次に、上記従来例1、従来例2および実施例の構成を有する有機発光素子の駆動電圧を比較した。図21は、有機発光素子の駆動電圧の測定結果を示す図である。図21に示すように、R発光、G発光、B発光のいずれの場合においても、実施例の構成の有機発光素子は、従来例1および従来例2の構成の有機発光素子よりも駆動電圧が低かった。これは、下部電極3上に酸化膜が存在していないため、酸化膜による電気抵抗の上昇が起こらなかったからだと考察できる。
次に、上記従来例1、従来例2および実施例の構成を有する有機発光素子の電流発光効率を比較した。図22は、有機発光素子の発光効率の測定結果を示す図である。図22に示すように、発光色によって多少のばらつきはあるもの、総じて、実施例の構成の有機発光素子は、従来例1および従来例2の構成の有機発光素子よりも発光効率が高かった。
以上、本発明の一態様に係る薄膜形成方法、有機表示パネルの製造方法、有機表示装置の製造方法、有機発光装置の製造方法、有機表示パネル、有機表示装置、および有機発光装置を具体的に説明してきたが、上記実施の形態は、本発明の構成および作用・効果を分かり易く説明するために用いた例であって、本発明の内容は、上記の実施の形態に限定されない。
