Recently, nanostructure and the molecular orientation of organic thin films have been largely paid attention due to its importance in organic electronics such as organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Among various methods, the diffraction and scattering techniques based on synchrotron x-rays have shown powerful results in organic thin film systems. In this work, we introduce the in-situ annealing system installed at PLS-II (Pohang Light Source II) for organic thin films by simultaneously conducting various x-ray scattering measurements of x-ray reflectivity, conventional x-ray scattering, grazing incidence wide angle x-ray scattering (GI-WAXS) and so on. Using the in-situ measurement, we could obtain real time variation of nanostructure as well as molecular orientation during thermal annealing in metal-phthalocyanine thin films. The variation of surface and interface also could be simultaneously investigated by the x-ray reflectivity measurement.

유기태양전지(Organic photovoltaics, OPV)는 기계적 유연성, 경량, 반투명성, 낮은 제조 비용 등 여러 가지 고유한 특성을 지니고 있어 차세대 신재생 에너지원으로 큰 잠재력을 보여 왔다. 최근 분자구조 및 소자 엔지니어링의 발전으로 19% 이상의 높은 효율을 달성했다. 그러나 이러한 높은 효율을 갖춘 광활성층 물질들은 복잡한 구조로 인해 합성 과정이 복잡하며 제조비용이 높아 상용화에 어려움이 있다. 이 문제를 해결 하기 위해 간단한 구조를 갖는 저비용 광활성층 물질들에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 낮은 비용의 광활성층 물질 및 이를 합성하기 위한 전략들에 대해 소개한다.

하층에 유 무기 전도성 물질을 코팅하고 상층은 다관능성 아크릴레이트를 코팅한 다층코팅의 자외선 경화형 시스템을 도입하였다. 이러한 다층코팅은 투명한 PMMA, PC, PET 등의 기재 위에 wet and wet 방식의 코팅 방법을 사용하여 제조하였다. 도막의 표면저항과 물성은 상층 두께의 변화와 상대 습도를 다르게 하여 측정하였다. 상층두께가 $10{\mu}m$ 이하일 때 $10^8{\sim}10^{10}{\Omega}/cm^2$의 표면저항을 나타냈으며 표면 물성은 단층코팅에 비해서 다층코팅이 더 우수하게 나타났다. 그리고 다층코팅에서의 도판트 이동효과는 접촉각과 FT-IR/ATR을 통해 관찰하였다. 하층이 무기 전도성 물질인 경우에는 관찰되지 않는 도판트(DBSA)의 필름-기재 계면에서 필름-공기 계면 쪽으로 이행되는 거동이 유기전도성 물질인 경우에는 관찰되었다.

공액분자반도체와 고분자절연체 계면에서 전하트래핑을 이해하는 것은 장시간 구동가능한 안정성 높은 유기전계효과 트랜지스터(이하 유기트랜지스터) 개발을 위해 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 분자량의 고분자절연체를 이용한 유기트랜지스터의 전하이동 특성을 평가하였다. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 표면 위에 적층된 펜타센 공액반도체의 모폴로지와 결정성은 PMMA 분자량에 무관함이 나타났다. 그 결과 트랜지스터 소자의 초기 트랜스퍼 곡선과 전하이동도는 분자량에 상관없었다. 하지만, 적정한 상대습도 환경에서 소자에 바이어스가 인가되었을 경우, 바이어스 스트레스 효과로 불리는 드레인전류 감소와 트랜스퍼 곡선 이동은 PMMA 분자량이 감소할수록 증대됨이 관찰되었다(분자량 효과). 분자량 효과에 의한 전하트래핑은 회복이 매우 어려운 비가역적인 과정임을 밝혀 내었다. 이러한 분자량 효과는 PMMA 존재하는 고분자사슬 말단의 밀도 변화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 즉, PMMA 고분자사슬 말단이 가지는 자유부피가 전하트랩으로 작용하여 분자량에 민감한 바이어스 스트레스 효과를 일으킨 것으로 판단된다.

The process of charge transfer at the interface between two semiconductors or between a metal and a semiconductor plays an important role in many areas of technology. The optimization of such devices requires a good theoretical description of the interfaces involved. This, in turn, has motivated detailed mechanistic studies of interfacial charge-transfer reactions at metal/organic, organic/organic, and organic/inorganic semiconductor heterojunctions. Charge recombination of photo-induced electron with redox species such as oxidized dyes or triiodide or cationic HTM (hole transporting materials) at the heterogeneous interface of $TiO_2$ is one of main loss factors in liquid junction DSSCs or solid-state DSSCs, respectively. Among the attempts to prevent recombination reactions such as insulating thin layer and lithium ions-doped hole transport materials and introduction of co-adsorbents, although co-adsorbents retard the recombination reactions as hydrophobic energy barriers, little attention has been focused on the anchoring processes. Molecular engineering of heterogeneous interfaces by employing several co-adsorbents with different properties altered the surface properties of $TiO_2$ electrodes, resulting to the improved power conversion efficiency and long-term stability of the DSSCs. In this talk, advantages of the coadsorbent-assisted sensitization of N719 in preparation of DSSCs will be discussed.

Light soaking (LS) stability in polymer solar cells (PSCs) has always been a challenge to achieve due to unstable photoactive layer-electrode interface. Especially, the electron transport layer (ETL) and photoactive layer interface limits the LS stability of PSCs. Herein, we have modified the most commonly used and robust zinc oxide (ZnO) ETL-interface using an organic dye molecule and a co-adsorbent. Power conversion efficiencies have been slightly improved but when these PSCs were subjected to long term LS stability chamber, equipped with heat and humidity (45℃ and 85% relative humidity), an outstanding stability in the case of ZnO/dye+co-adsorbent ETL containing devices have been achieved. The enhanced LS stability occurred due to the suppressed interfacial defects and robust contact between the ZnO and photoactive layer. Current density as well as fill factors have been retained after LS with the modified ETL as compared to un-modified ETL, owing to their higher charge collection efficiencies which originated from higher electron mobilities. Moreover, the existence of less traps (as observed from light intensity-open circuit voltage measurements and dark currents at -2V) are also found to be one of the reasons for enhanced LS stability in the current study. We conclude that the mitigation ETL-surface traps using an organic dye with a co-adsorbent is an effective and robust approach to enhance the LS stability in PSCs.

We demonstrated that the threshold voltage shift owing to a gate-bias stress is originated from the trapped charges at the interface between semiconductor layer and dielectric layer, and such drawback can be settled by applying long-term delay time to the gate electrode.

Organic materials have considerable attention as active semiconductors for device applications such as thin-film transistors (TFTs) and diodes. Pentacene is a p-type organic semiconducting material investigated for TFTs. In this paper, we reported the morphological and electrical characteristics of pentacene TFT films. The pentacene transistors showed the mobility of 0.8 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs and the grains larger than 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements were carried out on metal/insulator/organic semiconductor structure devices that had a depletion region at the insulator/organic-semiconductor interface. The duration of the capacitance transient in DLTS signals was several ten of seconds in the pentacene, which was longer than that of inorganic semiconductors such as Si. Based on the DLTS characteristics, the energy levels of hole and electron traps for the pentacene films were approximately 0.24, 1.08, and 0.31 eV above Ev, and 0.69 eV below Ec.
