Abstract

Vacuum deposited 4,4',4''-tris(N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (1-TNATA), a widely-used semiconductor material, is placed as a thin interlayer between indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and a hole transporting layer (HTL) in OLEDs and a well-stacked 1-TNATA layer leads to stable and high efficiency devices by reducing the carrier injection barrier at the interface between the ITO anode and hole transport layers. According to Raman spectra, thermal annealing after deposition as well as electromagnetic field treatment during deposition lead to closer stacking of 1-TNATA molecules and resulted in molecular ordering. By thermal annealing at about $110^{\circ}C$, an increase in current flow through the film by over 25% was observed. Molecularly-ordered 1-TNATA films played an important role in achieving higher luminance efficiency as well as higher power efficiency of the multi-layered organic EL devices in the present work. Electromagnetic field treatment during deposition was less effective compared to thermal annealing

전기적 특성을 가지는 4,4',4''-tris(N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (1-TNATA)가 유기발광소자(OLED)에서 전극으로 사용되는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)와 홀 수송층(Hole Transport Layer, HTL) 사이에 박막으로 진공증착되었다. 분자배열이 잘 되어진 1-TNATA의 경우 ITO와 홀 수송층 사이의 계면에서 생기는 전하주입장벽을 줄임으로 소자의 안정성과 효율을 높여준다. 본 연구에서의 라만 스펙트라(Raman spectra) 분석 결과, 증착된 1-TNATA 박막의 열처리와 증착하는 동안 전자기장 처리에 의해서 박막이 집적되고 분자배열이 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 열처리를 한 경우 1-TNATA 박막으로의 전류 흐름이 25% 증가하였다. 또한, $110^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 1-TNATA 박막으로 제조된 다층유기발광소자의 전원 효율과 발광효율이 향상되었다. 열처리한 박막이 전자기장으로 처리한 박막에 비해 높은 효율을 나타내었다.
