Abstract

The organic/inorganic hybrid photovoltaic devices have been studied using Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) : [6, 6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and GaN. We traced the effect of short circuit current density with different annealing method under the various concentration and ratio of P3HT:PCBM. During the pre-annealing course, the heat treatments were performed each time at low temperature after the organic layer coated and the samples were heated at high temperature through one or two steps under the post-annealing process. It revealed that the samples with post-annealing process had higher values of short circuit current density than the other samples upon pre-annealing. And the interesting high short circuit current density features were observed at 1:1 mixing ratio and 1wt% of P3HT:PCBM.

본 연구에서는 Poly (3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT):[6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)과 GaN를 이용하여 유무기 하이브리드 광전변환소자를 제작함에 있어서, P3HT:PCBM 활성층의 열처리가 소자의 단락전류밀도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았으며 이때 유기물의 농도와 혼합비율을 달리 하였다. 유기물 각각의 층을 코팅하여 층을 만들 때마다 열처리 한 경우, 즉 pre-annealing샘플과 pre-annealing 과정을 거쳐 제작된 소자 전체를 한 번 더 열처리하여 즉 post-annealing까지 행한 샘플을 비교하였다. 그 결과 post-annealing한 샘플이 더 높은 단락전류밀도의 값을 가졌고 이때 P3HT와 PCBM은 1wt%와 1:1 혼합비율에서 좋은 열처리 효과를 나타내었다.
