[0001] This application claims priority to two prior applications: patent application number 202111288584.3, entitled "Planar light-emitting field-effect transistor for emission from a surface light source, its manufacturing method and application," filed by the applicant with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on November 2, 2021; and patent application number 202111460089.6, entitled "Planar light-emitting field-effect transistor for emission from a surface light source, its manufacturing method and application," filed by the applicant with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on December 1, 2021. Both of these prior applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of electroluminescent devices, and more particularly to a planar light-emitting transistor emitting light from a surface light source, and its manufacturing method and application. [Background technology]

[0003] The display industry has become a pillar of the information technology industry. Light-emitting transistors are a type of highly integrated electroluminescent device that combines the current amplification function of organic transistors and the electroluminescence function of organic light-emitting diodes into a single device. They have unique advantages such as high integration and simple manufacturing processes, and are considered to be an important device building block for the next generation of revolutionary display technology that will realize miniaturization, flexibility, and high definition.

[0004] Currently, light-emitting transistors are typically divided into planar and vertical structures. Vertical light-emitting transistors have short channels, making it relatively easy to achieve low-voltage operation and surface light emission. However, their operating mechanism requires the use of porous source electrodes, which are difficult to fabricate, affecting device stability and uniformity. Planar light-emitting transistor processes are relatively compatible with conventional industrial processes, resulting in relatively stable devices. However, electrons and holes generally recombine at the channel and electrode sides, resulting in linear light emission, making them unsuitable for display applications.

[0005] Achieving good device processability and stability of the light-emitting transistor through rational design of the device structure, and realizing stable emission of a surface light source, are technical problems to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Invention

[0083] 2) Preparation of organic charge transport layer C8-BTBT A patterned metal mask plate was fixed to the substrate, and 50 nm of C8-BTBT was thermally evaporated onto the Si / SiO2 wafer modified in step 1 using a vacuum evaporator.

[0084] 3) Fabrication of the source electrode The mask plate was replaced and fixed to the substrate, and a 2 nm MoO film was deposited on one side of the organic charge transport layer using a vacuum deposition machine. x and 40 nm of Au was thermally evaporated.

[0085] 4) Preparation of charge buffer layer and light-emitting unit: The mask plate was replaced and fixed to the substrate, and a charge buffer layer of 40 nm TAPC and a light-emitting unit of 20 nm 10% Ir(ppy)3:CBP / 40 nm 3TPYMB were sequentially deposited on the other side of the organic charge transport layer using a vacuum deposition machine.

[0086] 5) Fabrication of the drain electrode: The mask plate was replaced and fixed to the substrate, and 0.5 nm LiF / 1 nm Al / 35 nm Ag were sequentially deposited on the light-emitting unit as the drain electrode using a vacuum evaporator. The device fabrication was completed, and the device structure is shown in Figure 1. The optical photograph (left) and optical photograph (right) of the resulting device are shown in Figure 3.

[0087] 6) Performance testing and characterization of light-emitting transistors: In a nitrogen gas glovebox, a probe was used to apply voltages to the source, drain, and gate electrodes. The gate electrode was heavily doped silicon, the source electrode was grounded, and the voltage between the source and drain electrodes was -70 V. The voltage between the gate and source electrodes was varied from 20 V to -70 V with a step width of -2 V.

A spectrometer was used to measure the device spectrum, and a CCD was used to collect bright-field and dark-field emission photographs of the device. The test results, shown in Figure 4, indicate that increasing the light-emitting area can improve the aperture ratio (approximately 90%) while still achieving relatively good surface light source effect and emission brightness. This demonstrates that planar light-emitting transistors emitting from such surface light sources can be used to construct high-aperture devices.

[0088] Example 5 Referring to the transistor fabrication process of Example 4, the difference from Example 4 is that in this example, a semiconductor charge transport layer is first deposited on the modified Si / SiO2 wafer, followed by deposition of a charge buffer layer. After that, a source electrode and a light-emitting unit, each located on one side of the charge buffer layer, are deposited on the charge buffer layer, and finally a drain electrode is deposited on the light-emitting unit. The specific structure is shown in Figures 1-2. Tests have shown that the transistor device obtained in this example also has good gate voltage adjustment characteristics, light-emitting performance, a large aperture ratio (aperture ratio reaching at least 80%), and stability.

[0089] Examples 6-7 The transistors of Examples 6 and 7 were fabricated by replacing the TAPC in Example 4 with an ultrathin metal material Au as the charge buffer layer, or by replacing the TAPC in Example 4 with C60-pentacene-C60 as the charge buffer layer. These transistors had the same or similar performance as Example 4, i.e., they were planar light-emitting transistors that could emit light from a surface light source, and had good gate voltage adjustment characteristics, light-emitting performance, and stability.

[0090] Example 8 5, the device of this example included a source electrode, an organic charge transport layer C8-BTBT, a charge buffer layer TAPC, a blue light-emitting unit BD-1:CBP / TmPTPB, a second light-emitting unit TAPC, a green light-emitting unit Ir(ppy)3:CBP / 3TPYMB, a charge buffer layer TAPC, and a red light-emitting unit Ir(mphmq)2tmd:CBP / Tmpypb, and a drain electrode LiF / Al / Ag. The light-emitting components were connected by a CGL layer.

[0091] Example 9 Planar light-emitting field-effect transistor device emitting from an area light source based on DMAC-TRZ:Rubrene white light-emitting units 1) Glass / Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) Wafer Cleaning and Dielectric Layer Fabrication: Before use, the glass sheet with the ITO layer was ultrasonically treated with deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol, respectively, for approximately 10 minutes, and then quickly dried with nitrogen gas. The surface energy level was modified in an O2plasma plasma cleaner for 5 minutes to remove any remaining organic solvents on the surface.

[0092] PVA powder (average M w ≒205,000 g mol -1) was dissolved in deionized water (58 mg mL-1), and the solution was stirred at 800 rpm for 6 h. Glutaraldehyde (GA, 50 wt%) was then added to the solution (volume ratio 1:80). The prepared PVA solution was spin-coated onto a glass / ITO substrate (4200 rpm × 45 s) to obtain a 350 nm-thick thin film. The thin film was then annealed in air at 100 °C for 90 min. A layer of perfluororesin CYTOP (CTL-809M, M-type) (approximately 10 nm thick) was then spin-coated onto the PVA layer and annealed at 100 °C for 30 min.

[0095] 4) Preparation of charge buffer layer and light-emitting unit: The mask plate was replaced and fixed to the substrate, and a vacuum deposition machine was used to form a glass / ITO / dielectric layer / C8-BTBT / MoO x On the / Au, a 40 nm TAPC charge buffer layer and a light-emitting unit 30 nm 2% Rubrene:DMAC-TRZ / 40 nm 3TPYMB were deposited.

[0096] 5) Fabrication of the drain electrode: The mask plate was replaced and fixed to the substrate, and a vacuum deposition machine was used to form a glass / ITO / dielectric layer / C8-BTBT / MoO x The drain electrode was then deposited on the Au / TAPC / 2% Rubrene:DMAC-TRZ / 40 nm 3TPYMB, followed by 2 nm LiF and 120 nm Al. The device fabrication was completed, and the device structure schematic (left) and optical photograph (right) are shown in Figure 6.

[0097] 6) Performance testing and characterization of light-emitting field-effect transistors: In a nitrogen gas atmosphere in a glovebox, a probe was used to apply voltages to the source, drain, and gate electrodes, respectively. The gate electrode was made of ITO, and the source electrode was grounded. The voltage between the source and drain electrodes was -20 V. The voltage between the gate and source electrodes was varied from 0 V to -20 V with a step width of -1 V. The device photocurrent was measured using a photomultiplier tube in a dark environment in 0.5 V steps. The current-photocurrent-voltage relationship curve was measured, and the relationship between the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and luminance was calculated. As shown in Figure 7, the device achieved a maximum luminance of 1121 nits, with a high maximum EQE of 6.9%. Photographs of the device were taken using a mobile phone camera. Photographs of the device at gate voltages of -5 V, -6 V, and -20 V are shown in Figure 8. They demonstrate uniform white light emission, which is significant for the application of light-emitting transistors in lighting applications.
