The fabrication process allowed us to compare several electrode materials. The SLED structures also enabled imaging of the light emission zone with fluorescence video microscopy. Conventional sandwich structures were also made for comparison electrode separation 50 nm. In this study, the emitting layer was poly[3- (2',5'-bis(1'',4'',7''trioxaoctyl)phenyl)-2,2'-bithiophene] (EO-PT), a conjugated polymer based on polythiophene with oligo ethyleneoxide side chains. The current-voltage (I(V)) and light-voltage (L(V)) characteristics of the SLEDs were largely insensitive to electrode separation except at high voltages, at which the current in the devices with the largest separations was limited. Sandwich structures had the same light output at a given current. Light could be obtained in forward and reverse bias from indium tin oxide ITO -aluminum, gold silicide-aluminum, and gold silicide-gold SLEDs, but the turn-on voltages were lowest with the ITO-aluminum devices, and these were also the brightest and most reliable. Adding salt to the EO-PT increased the current and brightness, decreased the turn-on voltages, and made the I(V) characteristics symmetric; thus, a device with an electrode separation of 10 mm had the extraordinarily low turn-on voltage of 6 V. The location of the light emission was at the electron-injecting contact.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Kaminorz1998, author = {Kaminorz, Yvette}, title = {Charakterisierung und Optimierung von Leuchtdioden auf der Basis niedermolekularer und polymerer Heterozyklen}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {107 Bl. : graph.

These polymers have the advantages of being light, cheap, and easy to process, and in addition the band gap can be tailored. We report the microfabrication of surface light emitting diodes (SLEDs) on silicon substrates in which the electrodes are underneath the organic electroluminescent layer. Patterned electrodes are separated by a 2500{\AA}-thick insulating layer of silicon oxide or are interdigitated with a separation of 10 or 20 µm; the luminescent polymer is spin-coated or solvent cast on top of the electrodes. This fabrication method is completely compatible with conventional silicon processing because the polymer is deposited last and the light is emitted from the upper surface of the diodes. Despite the large spacing between electrodes, and despite the absence of an evaporated top contact, the voltages required for light emission were not much greater than those used in conventional sandwich-type structures}, language = {en} } @article{HoepfnerFruebingNeumannetal.1996, author = {H{\"o}pfner, Ulf and Fr{\"u}bing, Peter and Neumann, Werner and Kaminorz, Yvette and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Polarization Processes of poly(DMDAAC) films studied by TSD current}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{BrehmerFruebingHerkneretal.1995, author = {Brehmer, Ludwig and Fr{\"u}bing, Peter and Herkner, G. and Kaminorz, Yvette}, title = {Pyroelektrische Untersuchungen an d{\"u}nnen Schichten von organischen Seitenkettenpolymeren}, year = {1995}, language = {de} } @article{KaminorzSmelaInganaesetal.1998, author = {Kaminorz, Yvette and Smela, E. and Ingan{\"a}s, O. and Brehmer, Ludwig}, title = {Sensitivity of polythiophene planar light emitting diodes to oxygen}, year = {1998}, abstract = {Surface light emitting diodes (SLEDs) with a polymer-on-top geometry were used to study the sensitivity of light emission to oxygen. In these devices, pre-fabricated electrodes were coated with a conjugated polymer, which was thus directly exposed to the environment. Oxygen caused an immediate ten-to hundred fold decrease in electroluminescence efficiency relative to that in nitrogen or argon. Above the voltage for light emission, there was a sharp increase in current. Removing the oxygen led to recovery of the light intensity over a period of minutes, but the current returned immediately to its lower, original level. The electroluminescence and photoluminescence spectra were identical and were unaltered in shape by oxygen exposure (only decreasing in size). However, photoluminescence was unaffected by oxygen alone. This result indicates that oxygen does not affect excitons directly, but rather influences an intermediate species on the path to exciton formation, one that is significant only in electroluminescence and not in photoluminescence. Under simultaneous exposure to oxygen and UV light, the photoluminescence irreversibly decreased, presumably due to photo-oxidation}, language = {en} } @article{HamaciucBrumaKoepnicketal.2001, author = {Hamaciuc, E. and Bruma, Maria and K{\"o}pnick, Thomas and Kaminorz, Yvette and Schulz, Burkhard}, title = {Synthesis and Study of New Silicon-containing Polyoxadiazoles}, year = {2001}, abstract = {A series of new poly-1,3,4-oxadiazoles has been synthesized by polycondensation reaction of hydrazine sulfate with a mixture of a dicarboxylic acid containing unsaturated bonds and a dicarboxylic acid containing silicon, by using methanesulfonic acid/phosphorus pentoxide as a reaction medium. These polymers were highly thermostable but they were only soluble in strong inorganic acids such as sulfuric or methanesulfonic ones. An alternative way was followed by using the corresponding dihydrazides containing unsaturated bonds and the corresponding diacid chloride containing silicon that reacted in N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) to give soluble silicon-containing unsaturated polyhydrazides, which were cyclodehydrated either by thermal or chemical treatment to give the corresponding polyoxadiazoles. Very thin coatings of polyhydrazides and polyoxadiazoles were deposited onto silicon wafers and they showed a very smooth surface, free of pinholes, when studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Some polyoxadiazole films showed strong blue photoluminescence.}, language = {en} }
