Abstract

In the fabrication of inverted top emission organic light emitting diodes (ITOLEDs), the organic layers are damaged by high-energy plasma sputtering process for transparent top anode. In this study, the plasma process induced damages on metal oxide hole injection layers (HILs) including $WO_3$, $MoO_3$, and $V_2O_5$ as buffer layer are examined. With the result of IV characteristic of hole-only devices, we propose that $MoO_3$ and $V_2O_5$ are stable materials against plasma sputtering process.
