Benefits of technology

[0007] The invention relates to the use of an organic mesomeric compound as organic dopant for doping an organic semiconducting matrix material for varying the electrical properties thereof. In order to be able to handle organic semiconductors more easily in the production process and to be able to produce electronic components with doped organic semiconductors more reproducibly, a quinone or quinone derivative or a 1,3,2-dioxaborine or a 1,3,2-dioxaborine derivative may be used as a mesomeric compound, which under like evaporation conditions has a lower volatility than tetrafluorotetracyanoquinonedimethane (F4TCNQ).

Problems solved by technology

However, the compounds previously investigated have disadvantages for technical use in the production of doped semiconducting organic layers or of suitable electronic components with doped layers of this kind.
The manufacturing processes in large technical production plants or those on a technical scale cannot always be precisely controlled, requiring high control and regulation expenses during processing in order to obtain the desired product quality, or to undesirable tolerances of the products.
In addition, there are disadvantages associated with the use of previously known organic donors with regard to electronic component structures, such as light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), field-effect transistors (FETs) or solar cells themselves due to production difficulties related to handling of dopants.
The electronic components may exhibit undesirable heterogeneities or the electronic components may exhibit undesirable aging effects.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 103 57 044.6, filed Dec. 4, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to the use of an organic mesomeric compound as an organic dopant for doping an organic semiconducting matrix material for varying the electrical properties thereof, a doped semiconducting matrix material, and an electronic component made of the latter. [0003] The doping of silicon semiconductors has already been state of art for several decades. By this method, an increase in conductivity, initially quite low, is obtained by generation of charge carriers in the material as well as, depending upon the type of dopant used, a variation in the Fermi level of the semiconductor. [0004] However, several years ago it was also disclosed that organic semiconductors may likewise be strongly influenced with regard to their electr...
