유기 발광 소자에서의 내장 전압을 변조 광전류를 이용하여 측정하였다. 내장 전압은 양극의 일함수와 음극의 일함수 차이에 해당한다. 실험적으로는 유기 발광 소자에 500W Xenon light(ORIEL Instruments 66021)로부터 나온 빛을 chopper(Stanford Research SR540)를 통해 유기 발광 소자에 조사시키면 소자에서 발생한다. 변조 광전류를 lock-in amplifier(Stanford Research SR530)를 이용하여 변조 광전류의 크기와 위상을 측정할 수 있다. 이때 변조 광전류 크기가 최소가 될 때의 외부 인가 전압을 내장 전압이라고 한다. 본 연구에서 사용한 소자의 구조는 양극/$Alq_3$/음극 구조이며, 양극으로는 ITO 혹은 ITO/PEDOT:PSS를 사용하였고, 음극으로는 Ba/Al을 사용하였다. 발광 층으로는 $Alq_3$(150nm)를 사용하였다. Ba층의 두께는 0nm에서 3nm까지 변화시켰다. Ba이 금속의 역할을 하기 위해서는 두께가 20nm 이상은 되어야 한다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 Ba의 두께가 최대 3nm이므로 금속의 역할은 하지 않을 것으로 예상되며, 음극의 일함수에 약간의 영향을 주었을 것으로 생각된다. 내장 전압은 ITO/$Alq_3$(150nm)/Ba/Al 소자 구조에서 1V를 얻었고, ITO/PEDOT:PSS/$Alq_3$(150nm)/Ba/Al 소자 구조에서는 2V로 나타났다. ITO와 Ba/Al 전극 사이에 PEDOT:PSS 층을 주입함으로써 내장 전압은 약 1V 증가하였다. 이것으로, Ba의 두께가 얇으면 음극의 전자 주입 장벽에 영향을 거의 미치지 않는다는 것을 알 수가 있다.

차세대 디스플레이로서 각광을 받고 있는 OLED는 현재 많은 기업과 대학 연구소에서 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 현재 12인치 이하에서 양산이 되고 있는 저분자 OLED에 비해 고분자 OLED는 공정이 간단하고 대화면, flexible 디스플레이가 가능하다는 많은 장점을 가지고 있지만 소자의 신뢰성과 안정성에 문제를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITO/PEDOT:PSS/MEH-PPV/Al 구조를 갖는 유기발광다이오드를 제작하여 전기 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 소자의 구조를 최적화시키기 위하여 ITO 기판의 열처리 효과와 패턴폭에 따른 면저항을 측정하고, 발광효율을 극대화시키기 위하여 다층구조로서 정공수송층인 PEDOT:PSS를 첨가시켜 박막의 표면상태를 향상시켜 ITO기판에서 발광층인 MEH-PPV로의 정공수송을 원활하여 효율을 증대시키려 하였다. 이렇게 형성된 소자에 발광물질인 MEP-PPV의 농도를 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, $1.5wt\%$로 변화시켜 박막을 형성하고 $3{\times}10^{-6}Torr$ 상태의 고진공에서 Al 전극을 증착시켜 제작된 소자의 전기${\cdot}$광학적 특성을 측정, 비교하였다.

By using optimum doping ratio (10 ~ 20 wt%) of glycerol, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic photovoltaic devices based on poly (3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester was dramatically increased from 3.23% to 5.03%. Finally, semitransparent organic photovoltaic devices including glycerol doped poly (3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate) and thin Ag (< 1 nm) buffer layer typically have shown PCE > 3% with transmittance > 30% in visible ranges.

In this paper, we proposed a simple and high-yield printing process for source and drain electrodes of organic thin film transistor (OTFT). The surface energy of PVP (poly 4-vinylphenol) gate dielectric was decreased from 56 $mJ/m^2$ to 45 $mJ/m^2$ by adding fluoride of 3000ppm into it. Meanwhile the surface energy of source and drain (S/D) electrodes area on the PVP was increased to 87 $mJ/m^2$ by treating the areas, which was patterned by photolithography, with oxygen plasma, maximizing the surface energy difference from the other areas. A conductive polymer, G-PEDOT:PSS, was deposited on the S/D electrode areas by brushing painting process. With such a simple process we could obtain a high yield of above 90 % in $16{\times}16$ arrays of OTFTs. The performance of OTFTs with the fluoride-added PVP was similar to that of OTFTs with the ordinary PVP without fluoride, generating the mobility of 0.1 $cm^2/V.sec$, which was sufficient enough to drive electrophoretic display (EPD) sheet. The EPD panel employing the OTFT-backpane successfully demonstrated to display some patterns on it.

PEMS (printed electro-mechanical system) is fabricated by means of various printing technologies. Passive and active components in 2D or 3D such as conducting lines, resistors, capacitors, inductors and TFT, which are printed with functional materials, can be classified in this category. And the issue of PEMS is applied to a R2R process in the manufacturing process. In many electro-devices, the vacuum process is used as the manufacturing process. However, the vacuum process has a problem: it is difficult to apply toa continuous process as a R2R printing process. In this paper, we propose an ESD (electro static deposition) printing process has been used to apply an organic solar cell of thin film forming. ESD is a method of liquid atomization by electrical forces, anelectrostatic atomizer sprays micro-drops from the solution injected into the capillary, with electrostatic force generated by electric potential of about tens of kV. ESD method is usable in the thin film coating process of organic materials and continuous process as a R2R manufacturing process. Therefore, we experiment the thin films forming of PEDOT:PSS layer and Active layer which consist of the P3HT:PCBM. The result of experiment, organic solar cell using ESD thin film coated method is occurred efficiency of about 1.4%. Also, the case of only used to ESD method in the active layer coating is occurred efficiency of about 1.86% as the applying a spin coating in the PEDOT:PSS layer. We can expect that ESD method is possible for continuous process to manufacture in the organic solar cell or OLED device.

Tandem structure is promising in organic solar cells because of its double open-circuit voltage (VOC) and efficient photon energy conversion. In a typical tandem device, the two single sub-cells are stacked and connected by an interconnecting layer. The fabrication of two sub-cells are usually carried out in a glovebox filled with nitrogen or argon gas, which makes it expensive and laborious. We report a glovebox-free fabricated inverted tandem organic solar cells wherein the tandem structure comprises sandwiched interconnecting layer based on p-doped hole-transporting, metal, and electron-transporting materials. Complete fabrication process of the tandem device was performed outside the glove box. The tandem solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and (6,6)-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) can realize a high VOC, which sums up of the two sub-cells. The tandem device structure was ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/MoO3/Au/Al/ZnO-d/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag. The separate sub-cells were morphologically and thermally stable up to 160 oC. The high stability of the active layer benefits in the fabrication processes of tandem device. The performance of tandem organic solar cells comes from the sub-cells with an 50 nm thick active layer of P3HT:PCBM, achieving an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.9% (n=12) with short-circuit current density (JSC) = 4.26 mA/cm2, VOC = 1.10 V, and fill factor (FF) = 0.62. Based on these findings, we propose a new method to improve the performance and stability of tandem organic solar cells.
