[0009] In the following, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described, but these may be modified and combined as appropriate. In the following description and accompanying drawings, substantially the same or equivalent components are designated by the same reference numerals. [First embodiment] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view that schematically shows a cross section of an organic photodiode 10 that is an organic semiconductor light-receiving device according to the first embodiment. (1) Structure of organic photodiode The organic photodiode 10 (EX1) is an inverted organic photodiode with an active layer between a pair of electrodes and an absorption band in the near-infrared region, at least one of which is a transparent electrode serving as a cathode.
[0010] Specifically, the organic photodiode 10 is formed by laminating a base substrate 11, a transparent substrate 12, a first electrode 13, an electron injection layer 14, an active layer 15, an electron blocking layer 16, and a second electrode 17 in this order.
[0011] The base substrate 11 is a transparent substrate made of an inflexible material such as glass. The transparent substrate 12 provided on the base substrate 11 is a substrate made of a transparent material such as a resin film or glass. The transparent substrate 12 is preferably a flexible film substrate in order to take advantage of the characteristics of an organic photodiode (hereinafter also referred to as OPD) that uses an organic film. Light to be detected is taken in from the transparent substrate 12 side.
[0012] When the transparent substrate 12 is made of a film, the transparent substrate 12 may be attached to the base substrate 11 to form an element (photodiode), and the base substrate 11 may be peeled off and removed after the element is completed. In this case, the base substrate 11 does not need to be transparent.
[0013] In this specification, "transparent" means that the element has the property of transmitting light to the light receiving object. For example, the transparent element component may be colored, printed, or otherwise provided with an optical filter.
[0014] A first electrode 13 made of a transparent conductive film is patterned on the transparent substrate 12. A desired transparent electrode pattern can be obtained by mask deposition or by patterning using a photolithography process after deposition on the entire surface. In this embodiment, mask sputtering was performed using a SUS (stainless steel) mask.
[0015] In this embodiment, the first electrode 13 made of a transparent conductive film corresponds to a cathode, and the second electrode 17 corresponds to an anode. In this embodiment, indium tin oxide (ITO) is used as the first electrode 13, but the material is not limited to ITO. For example, other conductive metal oxides or conductive polymers such as polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) can also be used. Alternatively, a metal mesh film and these transparent conductive films can be combined.
[0016] An electron injection layer 14 is formed on the first electrode 13. The electron injection layer 14 functions as a carrier injection layer in the inverted organic element. Polyethyleneimine ethoxylate (PEIE) is used for the electron injection layer 14. By providing the electron injection layer 14, the work function on the ITO side can be controlled. For example, it can be controlled to about -4.7 V to -3.7 V. This improves the performance of the OPD, such as increasing the photocurrent and suppressing the dark current. The PEIE film thickness is preferably 5-10 nm. Although it is preferable to provide the electron injection layer 14, it is not necessary. An active layer 15 is formed on the electron injection layer 14. The active layer 15 has a micro-phase-separated structure (bulk heterojunction structure) formed by mixing a donor material and an acceptor material.
[0017] Specifically, an alkoxyphthalocyanine derivative (8OH2Pc: 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octaalkoxy-phthalocyanine), a low molecular weight material, was used as the donor material for the active layer 15. 8OH2Pc has a discotic shape, which makes it easy for molecules to align with each other and form a fine crystalline state.
[0018] In addition, a fullerene derivative (PC), a low molecular weight material, was used as the acceptor material. 61 BM: Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester) was used.
[0019] The active layer 15 can be formed by dissolving these donor and acceptor materials in an organic solvent at a predetermined ratio and printing or coating the solution. In this embodiment, the active layer 15 is formed by mixing the donor and acceptor materials at a ratio of 8OH2Pc:PC 61 The weight ratio of BM was 1:4.
[0020] The active layer 15 can be formed at room temperature under atmospheric pressure, and many coating methods can be applied, such as flexographic printing, inkjet printing, spray coating (including electrostatic spray deposition), bar coating, slit coating, and spin coating.
[0021] In this embodiment, chloroform was used as the solvent for dispersing the donor material and acceptor material (D / A material). The solvent is not limited to chloroform; toluene or other solvents can be used as long as they dissolve the D / A material. Here, the D / A material was mixed at a predetermined ratio and dissolved at 2 wt% in the solvent. This solution of D / A material was filtered and then spin-coated.
[0022] The thickness of the active layer 15 is preferably in the range of 100 to 600 nm, and more preferably in the range of 200 to 400 nm in order to obtain a high photocurrent.
[0023] An electron blocking layer 16 is formed on the active layer 15. The electron blocking layer 16 is made of molybdenum oxide (MoOx Specifically, a molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) film is formed to a thickness of about 5 nm to serve as the electron blocking layer 16. The electron blocking layer 16 can suppress the dark current of the OPD. The thickness of the molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) film is preferably within the range of 5-40 nm.
[0024] Finally, a second electrode 17 made of metal was formed on the electron blocking layer 16. In this embodiment, gold (Au) was used as the second electrode 17, and the film was formed by vacuum deposition using a SUS mask.
[0025] The second electrode 17 is formed as an ultra-thin film of Au that can be considered transparent. In this case, the thickness of the Au film is preferably within the range of 10-40 nm. This allows detection of light incident on the second electrode 17, making it possible to detect light from both the top and bottom of the organic photodiode 10. The electrode material is not limited to Au. Furthermore, if light incident from the second electrode 17 side is not detected, the second electrode 17 does not need to be an ultra-thin film.
[0026] As described above, the organic photodiode 10 having an inverted structure according to the first embodiment can be briefly described as follows: 61 The structure is BM (bulk heterostructure) / MoO3 electron blocking layer / Au.
[0027] (2) Structure of the organic photodiode (CX1) of Comparative Example 1 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the cross section of the organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 (CX1). The organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 is a photodiode with a forward structure.
[0028] The organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 is the same as the organic photodiode 10 of the first embodiment in that it has a base substrate 11 made of glass, a transparent substrate 12 made of a resin film provided on the base substrate 11, and a first electrode 13 made of ITO provided on the transparent substrate 12. In Comparative Example 1, the first electrode 13 corresponds to the anode, and the second electrode 17 corresponds to the cathode.
[0029] A hole injection layer 104 (electron blocking layer) serving as a carrier injection layer in the forward structure is formed on the first electrode 13. Polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) was formed as the hole injection layer 104.
[0030] The same active layer 15 as in the first embodiment was formed in the hole injection layer 104. That is, the active layer 15 had a bulk heterojunction structure.
[0031] A second electrode 107 made of aluminum (Al) was formed on the active layer 15. The second electrode 107 was formed by vacuum deposition using a SUS mask.
[0032] That is, the organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 (CX1) has a structure of {ITO / PEDOT hole injection layer / 8OH2Pc·PC 61 The structure is BM (bulk heterostructure) / Al.
[0033] (3) Evaluation of light receiving characteristics 3 and 4 show the current density J (A / cm ) versus the applied voltage V (V ) of the inverted-structure organic photodiode 10 (EX1) of the first embodiment and the forward-structure organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 (CX1), respectively. 2 ) is a diagram showing the measurement results.
[0034] The light from a xenon lamp was separated using a bandpass filter, and light with a wavelength of 760 nm was made to enter the organic photodiode 10 and the organic photodiode 100 from the transparent substrate 12 side to measure the light receiving characteristics (JV characteristics).
[0035] In addition, the donor material and acceptor material (8OH2Pc:PC 61 1 shows the measurement results for the organic photodiode 10 and the organic photodiode 100 in which the active layer 15 uses a mixture ratio (D / A mixture ratio) of 1:4 by weight of BM.
[0036] When compared at an applied voltage (reverse bias) of −1 V, the photocurrent density (Jp) of the organic photodiode 10 (EX1) of the first embodiment is 1.6×10 -4 A / cm 2 The photocurrent density (Jp) of the organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 (CX1) was 1.0×10 -4 A / cm 2 That is, it is found that the organic photodiode 10 of the first embodiment provides a photocurrent that is 1.6 times larger than that of the organic photodiode 100 of the first comparative example.
[0037] It is also apparent that the dark current density (Jd) is reduced in the organic photodiode 10 (EX1) of the first embodiment compared to the organic photodiode 100 (CX1) of Comparative Example 1 in the applied voltage range of 0 to −1 V. Therefore, it was found that an organic photodiode having improved light-receiving sensitivity, a significantly reduced dark current, and a high S / N ratio could be obtained.
[0038] [Second embodiment] (1) Structure of organic photodiode FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view that schematically shows a cross section of an organic photodiode 30 that is an organic semiconductor light-receiving device according to the second embodiment.
[0039] The inverted-structure organic photodiode 30 (EX2) of this embodiment differs from the organic photodiode 10 of the first embodiment in that an electron injection barrier layer 31 is provided between the active layer 15 and the electron blocking layer 16, but the other configurations are the same as those of the organic photodiode 10.
[0040] More specifically, the active layer 15 and molybdenum oxide (MoOx Between the SiO2 / Au electrodes 16 and 17, hydrogenated phthalocyanine (H2Pc) was formed as the electron injection barrier layer 31. Here, the hydrogenated phthalocyanine (H2Pc) was formed by vacuum deposition.
[0041] The electron injection barrier layer 31 is an acceptor material of the active layer 15 and has a shallow LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) level. 61 BM is MoO x / Direct contact with the Au electrode is avoided to suppress electron injection, resulting in a reduction in dark current while maintaining almost no change in photocurrent.
[0042] The electron injection barrier layer 31 is not limited to hydrogenated phthalocyanine (HPc). An inorganic or organic semiconductor layer having a higher electron injection barrier than the electron blocking layer 16 can be used as the electron injection barrier layer 31. For example, when the electron blocking layer 16 is an organic semiconductor, a material having a LUMO level (eV) higher than the LUMO level of the electron blocking layer 16 can be used.
[0043] The electron injection barrier layer 31 can be made of, for example, a material generally known as a hole injection material, such as a phthalocyanine derivative, starburst amines such as m-MTDATA (4,4',4''-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine), or a polymer-based polythiophene such as PEDOT (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)), or a polyvinylcarbazole derivative.
[0044] (2) Evaluation of light receiving characteristics FIG. 6 shows the current density J (A / cm ) versus the applied voltage V (V ) of the organic photodiode 30 (EX2) of the second embodiment and the organic photodiode of Comparative Example 2 (CX2) with a forward structure. 2 ) is a diagram showing the measurement results.
[0045] The organic photodiode of Comparative Example 2 (CX2) is a sample in which an electron injection barrier layer 31 is formed between the active layer 15 and the second electrode 107 of the organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 (CX1) under the same conditions as the organic photodiode 30 (EX2). In addition, the mixing ratio of the donor material and the acceptor material (8OH2Pc:PC 61 1 shows the measurement results for the organic photodiode 30 and the organic photodiode 100, in which the active layer 15 has a B:M ratio of 1:4.
[0046] The photocurrent density (Jp) of the organic photodiode 30 (EX2) is equivalent to that of the organic photodiode 10 (EX1) of the first embodiment, and it is clear that high light-receiving sensitivity can be obtained.
[0047] Furthermore, the dark current is significantly reduced compared to the organic photodiode 10 (EX1) of the first embodiment, and is 1×10 -9 A / cm 2 It is clear that it is suppressed to some extent.
[0048] In organic photodiodes with a light-receiving band in the near-infrared region, the gap between the HOMO-LUMO (HOMO: Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) levels of the active layer is narrow, making it difficult to block carrier injection from the electrodes, and leading to the problem of large dark currents.
[0049] According to this embodiment, it has been found that electron injection on the second electrode 17 side is significantly suppressed, and an organic photodiode having an extremely high S / N ratio can be obtained.
[0050] [D / A mixing ratio in the active layer] Figure 7 shows the structure of the donor and acceptor materials (8OH2Pc:PC 61The graph plots the measurement results of the light-receiving characteristics of the organic photodiode 100 of Comparative Example 1 (CX1), which was fabricated by changing the mixture ratio (D / A mixture ratio) of the donor material and the acceptor material in the active layer. That is, the photocurrent and the light-receiving sensitivity were evaluated by focusing on the mixture ratio of the donor material and the acceptor material in the active layer.
[0051] The relationship between the D / A mixing ratio of the active layer and the photocurrent (or photosensitivity) was confirmed for the organic photodiode 30 of the second embodiment (EX2) and the organic photodiode 100 of the comparative example (CX1). As a result, it was confirmed that in the case of the second embodiment (EX2) with an inverted structure and the comparative example (CX1) with a forward structure, high photocurrent (or photosensitivity) can be obtained in a range of D / A mixing ratios that are considered to be the same within the range of lot-to-lot variations and measurement error. Therefore, the results of the comparative example (CX1), for which evaluation was performed on a large number of lots, will be used below for explanation.
[0052] The horizontal axis is 8OH2Pc:PC 61 The left vertical axis is the photocurrent density J (A / cm 2 ), and the right vertical axis is the photosensitivity R (A / W) calculated from the photocurrent.
[0053] As shown in the figure, the photocurrent and light sensitivity are significantly dependent on the D / A mixing ratio, and it was found that the light sensitivity is high when the D / A mixing ratio (mixing ratio of donor material to acceptor material) is in the range of 0.125 to 1.0, it is more preferable that the D / A mixing ratio is in the range of 0.20 to 0.50, and in particular, remarkably high light sensitivity can be obtained when the D / A mixing ratio is in the range of 0.25 to 0.35.
[0054] The photosensitivity R exceeds 0.3 A / W when the D / A mixing ratio is near 0.30 (1:3.5). This corresponds to an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of approximately 50%, demonstrating that near-infrared light is absorbed with extremely high efficiency and converted into a photocurrent for output.
[0055] 8 is a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) image of a cross section of the active layer 15. Note that the donor material and the acceptor material (8OH2Pc:PC 61 1. The image is an observation image of an active layer 15 in which the mixture ratio (D / A mixture ratio) of BM is 1:4.
[0056] The right side of the figure shows an enlarged image of a part of the active layer 15. The whitish areas are 8OH2Pc domains, and the gray areas are PC 61 This is the BM region (domain).
[0057] In the case of an organic photodiode with an inverted structure, when a reverse bias voltage is applied to function as a photodiode, the carriers generated by light are transferred to the PC, which is an acceptor, on the first electrode 13 side (ITO in this case), which is the lower electrode. 61 It is preferable that electrons are injected from the BM region into the first electrode, and holes are injected from the 8OH2Pc region, which is a donor, into the second electrode 17 (here, a metal electrode (Au)), which is the upper electrode, thereby observing a photocurrent.
[0058] It can be seen that the density of the donor material (8OH2Pc) is high on the second electrode 17 side, and the density decreases toward the first electrode 13. Conversely, the density of the acceptor material (PC 61 It can be seen that the density of BM) is low on the second electrode 17 side and increases toward the first electrode 13.
[0059] This distribution of domains is a characteristic of the use of 8OH2Pc, and it is clear that this allows the formation of a bulk heterostructure that is particularly suitable for the inverted organic photodiode described above. This distribution is due to the fact that the micro-phase separation that results in the bulk heterostructure is due to small molecules, and that 8OH2Pc is crystalline, while PC 61 This was thought to be due to the difference that the BM is an amorphous material.
[0060] In the second embodiment, a shallow acceptor material (PC 61 BM) is MoOx The electron injection barrier layer 31 is provided to prevent direct contact with the / Au electrode (second electrode 17), but the acceptor material (PC 61 It is believed that the low density of BM on the second electrode 17 side more effectively suppresses electron injection, which is effective in reducing dark current.
[0061] Furthermore, near-infrared light is absorbed by the 8OH2Pc domains, which have a width of 5-10 nm. This domain width is important in organic photodiodes; if the domain width exceeds 20 nm, excitons generated by light absorption will deactivate before becoming carriers. In other words, systems using the small molecule 8OH2Pc as the donor material can form a bulk heterostructure with an ideal width.
[0062] In addition, 8OH2Pc:PC 61 When the BM mixture ratio changes, the domain width of the donor material changes, and as shown in Figure 7, it is considered that the light receiving sensitivity changes depending on the D / A mixture ratio.
[0063] [Example of modification] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a cross section of an organic photodiode 40 (EX3) which is a first modified example of the organic photodiode 30 of the second embodiment. In the organic photodiode 40 of the first modified example, the active layer 15 is composed of a first active layer 15A formed on the electron injection layer 14 and a second active layer 15B formed on the first active layer 15A. The other configurations are the same as those of the organic photodiode 30 of the second embodiment.
[0064] More specifically, the D / A mixing ratio of the second active layer 15B is greater than that of the first active layer 15A. In other words, the mixing ratio of the donor material (8OH2Pc) in the second active layer 15B is greater than that of the donor material (8OH2Pc) in the first active layer 15A. As described above, the D / A mixing ratio of the entire active layer 15, i.e., the entire first active layer 15A and second active layer 15B, is preferably within the range of 0.125 to 1.0. With this configuration, electron injection on the second electrode 17 side is further suppressed, thereby reducing dark current and providing an organic photodiode with a high S / N ratio. Note that although the case of two active layers has been described here, three or more layers may also be used.
[0065] As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an organic semiconductor light-receiving device that has high light-receiving sensitivity, suppresses dark current, and has excellent light-receiving characteristics.
[0066] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. For example, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, an organic photodiode (OPD) is used as an example of an organic semiconductor light-receiving device, but the organic semiconductor light-receiving device to which the present disclosure can be applied is not limited to this. The present disclosure can be applied to various photoelectric conversion devices that convert received light into electricity.
[0067] For example, it can be applied to organic solar cells (OPV). Furthermore, as mentioned above, when an ultra-thin film that can be considered transparent is used as the second electrode, it becomes possible to generate electricity from light coming from both sides of the organic semiconductor light-receiving device, improving the power generation efficiency.
