Organic semiconductor materials are diverse and exhibit varying properties, leading to inconsistent current-voltage characteristics in devices. Given the high cost of organic materials, it is necessary to conduct appropriate performance evaluations before device fabrication to select the best for mass production.

[0003] In the field of organic semiconductor optoelectronic device simulation, commonly used methods include Monte Carlo simulation and master equation simulation. Monte Carlo simulation, also known as random sampling, uses a large number of random numbers to conduct experiments to obtain specific patterns and then perform numerical solutions. This method is computationally time-consuming, requires a large amount of data, and its accuracy is directly related to the computation time and the amount of data. The underlying logic of master equation simulation is to model and analyze the device using physical equations describing the internal electrical transport of the device (including the Poisson equation, drift-diffusion equation, and continuity equation), thereby obtaining important physical parameters and device characteristics.

[0014] Step 8: Using the updated continuity equation, repeat step 6 to obtain the new carrier concentration n. new ;

[0015] Step 9: Calculate n new With n old If the difference δn is greater than the set error value, return to step 6, nnew As n old n new +δn as n new Perform the calculation; otherwise, proceed to step 10.

[0035] This invention provides a method for fitting the current-voltage characteristics of the output of an organic thin-film photodetector. To more clearly illustrate this invention, the following examples will explain the specific fitting process proposed by this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific descriptions below are illustrative and not restrictive, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A method for fitting the current-voltage characteristics of an organic thin-film photodetector, wherein the fabrication process of the organic thin-film photodetector includes the following steps: An ITO substrate is ultrasonically cleaned sequentially with a cleaning agent, acetone, deionized water, and isopropanol, and then dried in a 75°C oven; a pure zinc oxide precursor solution is spin-coated onto the ITO substrate at 2600 rpm using a spin coater, and then annealed on a 200°C heating stage for 1 hour; an electron donor material PBDB-T and an electron acceptor material ITIC are mixed at a 1:1 mass ratio and dissolved in chlorobenzene (CB) to a total concentration of 30 mg / ml; the blended solution of the electron donor and electron acceptor materials is spin-coated onto the ITO substrate using a spin coater to obtain an active layer film with a thickness of approximately 280 nm; the device is transferred to a vapor deposition chamber, and when the vacuum level of the vapor deposition chamber drops to 3 × 10⁻⁶, the process is repeated. -6 During the bar deposition process, 10 nm thick MoO3 and 100 nm thick metallic Ag are deposited sequentially.

[0038] The above-mentioned method for fitting the current-voltage characteristics of an organic thin-film photodetector includes four modules: a data input module, a potential calculation module, a carrier concentration calculation module, and a current calculation module.

[0039] The first module, the data input module, requires inputting test parameters. These parameters are categorized into three types: material physical properties (bandgap width, photosensitive layer thickness, electron mobility, hole mobility, lattice constant, contact barrier, effective density of states in the valence / conduction band, ambient temperature), trap parameters (trap state density, trap state Gaussian distribution width, trap state central energy level), and test parameters (voltage range, test step size, number of cycles). Preferably, among the material physical properties, the bandgap width is set to 1.3 eV, the photosensitive layer thickness to 280 nm, and both electron and hole mobilities to 1*10⁻⁶. -4 cm -2 v -1 The lattice constant is 2.8, the left contact barrier is 1.2 eV, the right contact barrier is 0 eV, and the effective density of states in the valence band / conduction band is 1*10^6 eV. 25 m -3 The ambient temperature was 295K; in the trap parameters, the trap state density, the trap state Gaussian distribution width, and the trap state center energy level were not set, and the system was considered to be a trap-free material; in the test parameters, the voltage range was 0V to 10V, the test step size was 0.1V, and the number of cycles was 2.

[0040] The second module, the potential calculation module, calculates the potential distribution that conforms to the Poisson equation. The Poisson equation is expressed as... Its differential form is expressed as: in φp(n) These represent the quasi-Fermi levels of holes and electrons, respectively, and their relationship with the corresponding carrier concentrations can be expressed as follows: Where h i This represents the length of the i-th grid point within the device;

[0041] To correct the internal potential distribution of organic semiconductor devices using the Poisson equation, we calculate relevant physical quantities using the current carrier concentration and potential distribution in each iteration. Considering the boundary conditions of the potentials across the device, we obtain N+1 equations with N+1 unknowns, which can be represented as an N+1 order square matrix. Solving the matrix yields a numerical solution, which is compared to the required potential accuracy. The corrected potential distribution is then re-introduced into the Poisson equation, updating the coefficients and incorporating them into the next iteration. This process continues until the potential difference between two iterations is less than the set error value, at which point the process proceeds to the third module, the carrier concentration solution module. This third module calculates the carrier concentration distribution that conforms to the continuity equation. The continuity equation is expressed as follows: The derivative of electron concentration with respect to time can be expressed as: J n (x) and J p (x) represents the electron current density and hole current density at position x, G(x) and R(x) represent the charge generation rate and recombination rate, and n(x) represents the free electron concentration at position x.

[0042] Since the equation contains a first derivative, interpolation calculations are needed for the carrier concentration at two adjacent grid points. Here, an exponential distribution is first used for interpolation to calculate the electric field distribution of each grid, thus obtaining the carrier mobility. After considering the boundary conditions of carrier concentration at both ends of the device, electrons and holes can each yield N+1 equations containing N+1 unknowns, which can be represented as N+1 order square matrices. Solving the matrices yields a numerical solution, which is compared with the required accuracy of the carrier concentration distribution. The corrected carrier concentration is then substituted back into the equations, updating the coefficients and incorporating them into the next iteration until the accuracy requirement is met, at which point the process proceeds to the fourth module, the current calculation module.

[0043] The fourth module, the current calculation module, uses the drift-diffusion equation to determine the total current of the device. Given the aforementioned potential distribution and carrier concentration, the total current of the device can be calculated using the drift-diffusion equation. The drift-diffusion equation is expressed as follows: and Finally, the total current of the device is expressed as J(x) = J n (x)+J p (x). Where Dn=μ n,p ·V t Let μ be the Einstein diffusion coefficient.n,p For charge mobility, This is thermal voltage.

[0044] The fitted current-voltage curve is compared with the measured current-voltage curve to further correct the initial input trap parameters until the two curves coincide.
