Vacuum Ultraviolet Photochemical Sol-Gel Processing of Zn, Sn, Zn-Sn Oxide Thin Films for Encapsulation of Organic Light Emitting Diodes

Abstract: Room temperature solution processing of highly compact, glass-like thin films of ZnO, SnO2 and Zn-Sn oxide was achieved for the purpose to use them as thin film encapsulations (TFEs) for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), by employing photochemical decomposition of metallorganic precursors under vacuum ultraviolet irradiation in dry N2. While hydration water in the source chemical strongly promoted granular crystal growth, anhydrous precursors achieved highly flat thin films without pinholes and cracks. Th… Show more

“…An analysis shows that two components are needed for a satisfactory fit of the spectra. Similarly, the O 1s spectrum for the AA sample shows an extra component at ≈530.5 eV (green), representative of a metal oxide (MeO x ) component, likely SnO x , [ 19 ] present at the CZTS surface. In addition to hydroxide (blue component at around 531.5 eV, ΔE=+1 eV with respect to MeO x ) and some weakly adsorbed species, probably H 2 O (red component at around 533 eV, ΔE=+2.5 eV with respect to MeO x ) [ 20 ] are also observed.…”

“…Because the VUV processing is done in a dry N 2 glovebox, crystal growth by dissolution/recrystallization is practically forbidden. 28 These observations appear to rule out quantum size effect as the cause of color change of the PL.…”

“…The narrow absorption peak in the UV range clearly indicates the formation of ZnO NCs, as opposed to the typical broad band absorption of the annealed sample for which the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern also confirmed formation of ZnO as reported earlier. 28 The peak centered at ca. 290 nm shows almost no change in wavelength and only increases the overall absorbance upon increasing the VUV time.…”
