Effects of (NH4)2Sx treatment on surface work function and roughness of indium–tin-oxide

The effects of (NH4)2Sx treatment on the current-voltage characteristics and interfacial properties of the indium tin oxide (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) samples have been investigated in this study. The authors found that (NH4)2Sx treatment could lead to the improvement of the interfacial stability of ITO/PEDOT-PSS samples. In addition, the current transport at the ITO/PEDOT-PSS interface is governed by the defects induced by interfacial reactions.

The effects of (NH4)2Sx treatment on the surface electronic properties of the thin indium tin oxide (ITO)-doped ZnO films have been examined in this study. Experimental results, found that the formation of S-metal bonds and the removal of oxygen vacancies near the (NH4)2Sxtreated ITO-doped ZnO surface could lead to an increase in the surface energy and the work function, meaning that (NH4)2Sx treatment might be more helpful to form the uniform deposition of the organic semiconductor on ITO-doped ZnO surfaces and improve the efficiency of ZnO-based organic devices.
