Problems solved by technology

The work function of ITO is generally only 4.5eV, and after treatment with UV light or ozone, it can only reach 4.7-5.1eV, which is compared with the HOMO energy level of the general organic light-emitting layer (typically 5.7-6.3eV). The large energy level gap increases the carrier injection barrier and hinders the improvement of luminous efficiency.
[0003] The surface work function of the conductive film can be improved by post-treatment, but due to the extra steps, the cost is higher and the efficiency is lower.
However, the method of improving the work function by doping certain elements in the film has certain restrictions: because a large amount of doping will affect the conductivity of the film, and a small amount of doping will not achieve the purpose of improving the work function.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of conductive films and discloses an ITO-indium halide bilayer conductive film and a preparation method thereof. The bilayer conductive film includes an ITO layer and an indium halide layer, wherein the ITO layer has a content of 80-97 wt% of In2O3 and 3-20% of SnO2, and the halogen in the indium halide is one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl or Br. The present invention uses a magnetron sputtering apparatus to prepare the ITO-indium halide bilayer conductive film. The conductive film has a visible light transmittance of 85-90% in the wavelength range of 450-790 nm, a square resistance range of 20-90 omega / square, and a surface work function of 5.5-6.1 eV.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of conductive thin films, in particular to an ITO-indium halide double-layer conductive film and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Transparent conductive film electrodes are the basic components of organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs), and their performance directly affects the luminous efficiency of the entire device. Among them, indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most commonly used transparent conductive film material, which has high visible light transmittance and low resistivity. However, in order to improve the luminous efficiency of the device, the transparent conductive film anode is required to have a higher surface work function. The work function of ITO is generally only 4.5eV, and after treatment with UV light or ozone, it can only reach 4.7-5.1eV, which is compared with the HOMO energy level of the general organic light-emitting layer (typically 5.7-6.3eV). The large energy lev...
