Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a silicon oxide encapsulation film containing metal or metal oxide in the film and a preparation method thereof, and more particularly, to a silicon metal oxide encapsulation film formed by using a silicon precursor and a metal precursor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Generally, organic semiconductor devices are vulnerable to moisture or oxygen and are easily oxidized by moisture or oxygen in the air, which deteriorates their electrical properties. Therefore, the core of the device packaging process is to isolate it from moisture and oxygen, which can be said to be an important technology that determines the life of the panel. The above packaging technology can be roughly divided into three types: a method using a glass / metal container (Can, glassencapsulation), a thin film encapsulation method (TFE, thin film encapsulation) and a hybrid encapsulation method (hybridencapsulation) that uses both thin film and glass containers. The various methods can be described as follows: a method using a metal with gas insulation or a container with a cover and a getter made of glass; a thin film packaging method called face sealing that uses an organic or inorganic multilayer film on the upper layer of the device to achieve barrier properties; and a hybrid method that uses a plastic barrier film as a cover and configures an adhesive layer between it and the passivation film.

[0003] The currently widely used method of using a glass / metal container (Can, glass encap) exhibits the best packaging characteristics by placing an organic semiconductor device between two glasses consisting of a substrate and a cover, then using a laser to melt glass powder for sealing, or using ultraviolet (UV) adhesive for sealing. However, it has the disadvantages of poor thermal conductivity due to the inert gas in the device and increased costs due to large-area glass processing. It also has problems in being applied to flexible panels that require flexibility.

[0004] In order to make up for the shortcomings of the above-mentioned glass encapsulation technology (Can, glass encapsulation), inorganic layers such as Al2O3 with high barrier properties to oxygen or moisture and organic layers of polymers are used as thin films and alternately stacked on the overall organic semiconductor device. This thin film encapsulation method (TFE, thin film encapsulation) of forming a multi-layer encapsulation film is being studied in full swing.

[0005] Although a thin film encapsulation technology with high film density and excellent permeability has been developed in recent research, the components of the organic layer of the multi-layer encapsulation film are mostly UV-curable substances. Since the organic encapsulation film using UV curing uses a solution process, it has the disadvantages of reduced electrical properties and flexibility due to the reduction of properties through the solvent and shortened life. In addition, although the encapsulation film formed by the inorganic layer can ensure good properties due to its thick thickness, it has the disadvantage of reduced flexibility.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a method for producing a packaging film having excellent sealing properties that can prevent the penetration of moisture or oxygen in the atmosphere even if the thickness is thin and has high flexibility.

Since the non-crystallinity of the silicon oxide is maintained, no grain boundary is formed when applied to a substrate. And, since the encapsulation film has a very thin thickness and the encapsulation film does not contain grain boundaries, even if the flexible substrate is repeatedly bent, the encapsulation film formed on the flexible substrate will not be damaged, so it has excellent durability.

[0143] Table 3

[0144] Characteristic evaluation of silicon metal oxide encapsulation films

[0145]

[0146]

[0147]

[0148] It can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 that, based on the total deposition time, the deposition rates of Examples 1 to 12 are to Based on the sedimentation cycle, to In the range of, based on the total deposition time, the deposition rate of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is to The range, based on the sedimentation cycle, is to From the above, it can be seen that Examples 1 to 12 deposit thin films at an excellent speed of at least 1.1 times faster and at most 2.5 times faster than Comparative Examples 1 to 3. It can be confirmed that compared with Example 6 as the maximum value, the deposition speed of Comparative Example 1 is lower than that of Example 6 as the maximum value. Based on the deposition cycle, the deposition rate is low above.

[0149] Furthermore, the refractive indexes of Examples 1 to 3 are 1.49, 1.51, and 1.53, respectively; the refractive indexes of Examples 4 to 6 are all 1.49; the refractive indexes of Examples 7 to 12 are 1.52 and 1.88, and the refractive indexes of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are 1.48, 1.48, and 2.20, respectively. Figure 5 As shown, through the ratio of the refractive index to the metal content in Examples 7 to 12, it can be seen that when the same metal is contained, the higher the metal content, the higher the refractive index formed. It can be confirmed that the refractive index can be adjusted not only by changing the type of metal, but also by changing the metal content.

[0150] Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the film thickness in Examples 1 to 12 is to When the film thickness is , the stress of the film ranges from -662MPa to 192MPa. When, it has 7.05×10- 4 g / [m 2 -day] has a significantly low moisture permeability.

[0151] At the same time, through Figures 1 to 4 It can be seen that compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, Examples 1 to 12 have better sealing properties. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be confirmed that the silicon metal oxide encapsulation films of Examples 1 to 12 have higher visible light transmittance than those of Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be confirmed that compared with the film thickness of Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 2, having a thinner thickness Example 8 has a moisture permeability that is more than 14 times lower.

[0152] The above contents confirm that the silicon metal oxide packaging films of Examples 1 to 8 are not only significantly superior to those of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 or metal oxide packaging films in terms of film growth rate and low moisture permeability, but also capable of adjusting the refractive index and etching rate, and are easy to ensure flexibility by adjusting stress. As packaging films for displays using flexible substrates, they have very excellent properties.

[0153] That is, it can be seen that in the case of the silicon metal oxide encapsulation film represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention, a high-quality silicon metal oxide encapsulation film with very low moisture permeability at a very thin thickness is formed at an astonishing speed. Since the dry etching speed is excellent, it is easy to remove the particles generated during the deposition of silicon oxide, which can overcome the problem of difficulty in cleaning that occurs during the deposition of existing metal oxides, and can significantly improve the process productivity.

[0154] Furthermore, since the silicon metal oxide encapsulation film of the present invention can adjust the stress strength and refractive index according to the metal content, it can not only epoch-makingly shorten the existing thin film encapsulation process of forming a very thick thickness by repeated overlapping of organic and inorganic substances, but also ensure optical properties and flexibility at a very thin thickness, thereby confirming that it has very high application potential as a packaging technology suitable for flexible displays.

[0155] Experiment 1. Folding endurance test

[0156] According to the D2176-16 standard of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), an MIT-type folding endurance tester was used to evaluate the folding endurance of the packaging films of Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3.

[0157] After loading a film test piece (1 cm×7 cm) on a folding endurance tester, the test piece was bent at a speed of 175 rpm on the left and right sides, at an angle of 135°, a radius of curvature of 0.8 mm, and a load of 250 g until it broke to measure the number of reciprocating bending cycles, as shown in Table 4 below.

[0158] Table 4

[0159]

[0160]

[0161] As shown in Table 4, it can be seen that compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the silicon metal oxide encapsulation film of the present invention has significantly improved folding resistance.
