Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of organic electronics, and in particular to an apparatus and electron beam etching method for integrating an OLED and a phototransistor. [Background technology]
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are current-type devices that consist of a multilayer organic thin film structure and emit light when an electric current is applied. As a third-generation display technology, OLEDs are widely used in the display field due to their advantages such as self-luminance, high brightness, wide viewing angle, and flexibility. Therefore, OLEDs need to be closely integrated with other types and functions of devices to achieve better performance, more functions, and more integrated, smaller composite devices.
[0003] Phototransistors are available in two varieties: bipolar transistors and field-effect transistors. They are photoelectric devices with three electrodes whose current is controlled by external light. The magnitude of the current can be controlled according to the intensity of external light, allowing for different operating states. Taking a field-effect transistor as an example, when there is no light, it is in a blocking state and no electrical signal is output. When light is irradiated onto the gate, it is absorbed within the active region of such a device, generating photocarriers. The optical signal is converted into an electrical signal through an internal electrical amplifier, generating a photocurrent gain. The three terminals of a phototransistor operate, making electrical control and synchronization easy.
[0004] In the prior art, the Chinese patent application with application number "CN201510889775.3" and title "Liquid Crystal Display Device and Array Substrate Thereof, and Method for Manufacturing Array Substrate Thereof" integrates an OLED onto an array substrate, but the device only has a single function, i.e., display function, and does not have other functions such as photosensitivity or sensing other signals. The Chinese patent application with application number "CN202110446853.8" and title "Display Panel, Method for Manufacturing Display Panel, and Display Device" integrates a planar light-receiving diode and an OLED onto a display panel, but this device is more complex and does not take into account the difficulty of installing the phototransistor electrodes when a multi-electrode phototransistor and an OLED are integrated. An article in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, Vol. 7, Vol. 8, p. 2200043, reported on the integration of quantum dot light-emitting diodes and phototransistors to achieve the dual functions of photosensitivity and light emission. However, this device is composed of quantum dot light-emitting diodes rather than OLEDs, and has a large number of different functional layers, a complex structure, and requires multiple spin-coatings to introduce the quantum dots, resulting in a complicated process and low yield, making it unsuitable for industrial production.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the gate 11 is 50 nm thick Au, the gate insulating layer 10 is 290 nm thick silicon dioxide, the source 9 is 50 nm thick Au, the drain 7 is 170 nm thick Au, the conductive channel 8 is 1-5 layers of graphene with a monolayer thickness of about 0.3 nm-1.6 nm, the electron beam photoresist 6 is 120 nm thick polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA 950), and the semi-transparent anode 5 is Ag(50 nm) / MoOX The anode is a composite semi-transparent anode (8 nm), the hole transport layer 4 is NPB with a thickness of 60 nm, the light-emitting layer and electron transport layer 3 is Alq3 with a thickness of 60 nm, the reflective cathode 2 is an Ag / Al alloy with a thickness of 100 nm and a mass ratio of Ag:Al = 80%:20%, and the substrate 1 is an insulating transparent glass sheet with a size of 20 mm x 20 mm and a thickness of 1 mm.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention discloses an electron beam etching method for integrating an OLED and a phototransistor, which includes the following steps:
[0022] (1) The insulating transparent substrate 1 is cleaned.
[0023] The substrate 1 is immersed in acetone, isopropanol, and ultrapure water in that order, and then immersed in each liquid in an ultrasonic water bath for 20 minutes for cleaning. After being taken out with tweezers, the substrate is dried with compressed nitrogen gas.
[0024] (2) Manufacture an inverted structure OLED.
[0025] First, the substrate 1 is placed in the sample chamber of the deposition machine, with one side of the film to be deposited facing down, and fixed to the sample tray. The reflective cathode 2 material, the light-emitting layer / electron transport layer 3 material, the hole transport layer 4 material, and the semi-transparent anode 5 material are placed in each deposition source of the deposition machine. Then, a mechanical pump is started to draw a vacuum in advance, controlling the vacuum level in the sample chamber to 10 Pa or less. Then, a molecular pump is started to evacuate the chamber to 5 × 10 -4 The pressure is evacuated to a pressure of 100 Pa or less. Finally, the materials on the evaporation sources are heated in order to deposit the reflective cathode 2 material, the light-emitting layer / electron transport layer 3 material, the hole transport layer 4 material, and the semi-transparent anode 5 material in that order.
[0026] Sample tray rotation speed: 20 r·min -1 The deposition rates of the light-emitting layer / electron transport layer 3 material and the hole transport layer 4 material were both 0.1 nm / s -1 The deposition rate of the reflective cathode 2 material and the semi-transparent anode 5 material is 1 nm / s. -1After the semi-transparent anode 5 material is deposited, the sample chamber of the deposition machine is filled with high-purity nitrogen gas, and after atmospheric pressure is reached, the OLED sample with the inverted structure is taken out.
[0027] (3) Spin-coat an e-beam photoresist 6 connection layer.
[0028] First, place the OLED sample with the inverted structure on the spin coater with tweezers, with one side of the film to be spin-coated facing up, and start the mechanical pump to firmly fix the sample. Then, use a rubber-head burette to drop an appropriate amount of electron beam photoresist 6 onto the semi-transparent anode 5, and rotate it at 500 r·min -1 Spin coating at a rotation speed of 5000 r·min for 5 s -1 The sample is spin-coated at a rotation speed of 45 to 60 seconds to form a uniform film of electron beam photoresist 6 on the semi-transparent anode 5. Finally, the sample is heated on a heating plate at 180°C for 60 seconds to fully release the anisole in the electron beam photoresist 6. After the electron beam photoresist 6 is dried and cured, a complete electron beam photoresist 6 connection layer with a flat surface and strong adhesion to the semi-transparent anode 5 is obtained.
[0029] (4) A portion of the electron beam photoresist 6 is removed.
[0030] First, the sample is placed in the chamber of a JSM-7900F electron microscope, placed with the surface to be observed and etched facing up, and secured to the sample stage. A mechanical pump and a molecular pump are used to evacuate the sample, and the focus is adjusted to observe the sample. Next, using an electron beam exposure system combined with the electron microscope, a precisely focused high-energy electron beam of 15 kV to 30 kV is used to expose the location of the drain 7 to be connected on the electron beam photoresist 6 connection layer. The chamber of the JSM-7900F electron microscope is then filled with high-purity nitrogen gas, and after atmospheric pressure is reached, the sample is removed. Finally, the substrate 1 after electron beam exposure is immersed in a dedicated developer (methyl isobutyl ketone:isopropanol = 1:3) for 45 to 60 seconds, then in isopropanol for 15 to 20 seconds, dried with compressed air, and heated on a heating stage at 100°C for 30 to 60 seconds. A portion of the electron beam photoresist 6 connection layer is removed, resulting in a semitransparent anode 5 exposing the location of the drain 7 to be connected.
[0031] The reason why some of the electron beam photoresist 6 is left is to insulate and separate the OLED from positions other than the drain 7 of the phototransistor. By removing some of the electron beam photoresist 6, the contact position between the drain 7 and the semi-transparent anode 5 is exposed, which makes it easier to connect the drain 7 of the phototransistor to the semi-transparent anode 5 in subsequent processes and solves the problem of difficulty in installing the three electrodes of the phototransistor.
[0032] (5) Fabricate a phototransistor.
[0033] First, spin-coat the PMGI ultraviolet photoresist: Adsorb the substrate 1 onto the spin coater with a mechanical pump, and drip the PMGI ultraviolet photoresist using a rubber-head burette at 4500 r min -1The substrate is then spin-coated at a speed of 0.5 rpm for 45 seconds and baked on a hotplate at 100°C for 60 seconds. This is followed by UV photoetching. The PMGI photoresist is exposed to UV light using a UV stepper to define the positions of the source 9 and drain 7 of the phototransistor. The source 9 and drain 7 are then evaporated. The source 9 and drain 7 are then deposited on the substrate 1 using a metal mask with a specific shape in an evaporation system, after which the PMGI UV photoresist is stripped. The PMGI UV photoresist is then stripped in immersion mode, and the substrate 1 is sequentially immersed in developers PG, IPA, and DI to peel the photoresist from the substrate 1. Graphene is then peeled and transferred onto the substrate 1. Using a standard mechanical peeling method, 1 to 5 layers of graphene molecules are peeled from highly ordered pyrolytic graphite and transferred to the sample surface. The graphene is then etched. 1 to 5 layers of graphene are etched into a conductive channel 8 using UV photoetching and O2 / Ar reactive ions. Finally, the gate insulating layer 10 and gate 11 are sputtered. The sample is placed in a magnetron sputtering chamber, and a 290 nm thick SiO2 is deposited on the sample using a metal mask as a gate insulating layer 10 at a communication sputtering power of 200 W for 2000 s, followed by a 50 nm thick Au gate 11 at a DC sputtering power of 100 W for 300 s. This completes the device for integrating an OLED and a phototransistor.
[0034] Through the above process, the structure of the OLED and the phototransistor is simplified, the process is simplified, the device yield is improved, and it is favorable for industrial production.
[0035] (6) Test the photoelectric performance of light-controlled display devices.
[0036] 3 and 1, the circuit diagram of the light-controlled display device integrating an OLED and a phototransistor is a series connection of the two. A voltage U1 is applied between the reflective cathode 2 of the OLED and the source 9 of the phototransistor, and a voltage U2 is applied between the gate 11 and the source 9 of the phototransistor. Here, the phototransistor is a graphene field-effect phototransistor that can probe and respond to infrared light.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the gate 11 is 50 nm thick Au, the gate insulating layer 10 is 290 nm thick silicon dioxide, the source 9 is 50 nm thick Au, the drain 7 is 170 nm thick Au, the conductive channel 8 is 1-5 layers of graphene with a monolayer thickness of about 0.3 nm-1.6 nm, the electron beam photoresist 6 is 120 nm thick polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA 950), and the anode 5 is Ag(50 nm) / MoO X The anode is a composite semi-transparent anode (8 nm), the hole transport layer 4 is NPB with a thickness of 60 nm, the light-emitting layer and electron transport layer 3 is Alq3 with a thickness of 60 nm, the reflective cathode 2 is an Ag / Al alloy with a thickness of 100 nm and a mass ratio of Ag:Al=80%:20%, and the substrate 1 is an insulating transparent glass sheet with a size of 20 mm x 20 mm and a thickness of 1 mm.
[0038] With U2 and the infrared light intensity fixed and U1 varied, the current between the reflective cathode 2 of the OLED and the source 9 of the phototransistor was measured, which shows that the current in the light-controlled display device becomes increasingly faster as the voltage U1 increases, as shown in Figure 4.
[0039] With U1 and U2 fixed, the gate 11 of the light-controlled display device was irradiated with infrared light of different intensities, and the changes in the light-emitting intensity of the light-controlled display device were tested. The results are shown in Figure 5. As can be seen from Figure 5, the light-controlled display device is sensitive to infrared light intensity, and the OLED emits light of different intensities under infrared light irradiation of different intensities. The stronger the infrared light irradiation intensity, the stronger the OLED light emission intensity, and the two show a positive correlation.
[0040] However, as can be seen from the photoelectric performance test of the light-controlled display device, the present invention realizes the integration of multi-function organic electronic devices, and has the functions of light-emitting display and light-sensing, and realizes the control of the light-emitting intensity of the OLED through the intensity of external infrared light.
