  • Patent number: 9076768
    Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, systems and methods are provided for producing low work function electrodes. According to an exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for reducing a work function of an electrode. The method includes applying, to at least a portion of the electrode, a solution comprising a Lewis basic oligomer or polymer; and based at least in part on applying the solution, forming an ultra-thin layer on a surface of the electrode, wherein the ultra-thin layer reduces the work function associated with the electrode by greater than 0.5 eV. According to another exemplary embodiment of the invention, a device is provided. The device includes a semiconductor; at least one electrode disposed adjacent to the semiconductor and configured to transport electrons in or out of the semiconductor.

  • Publication number: 20140231765
    Abstract: Organic electronic devices comprising “remotely” doped materials comprising a combination of at least three layers. Such devices can include “remotely p-doped” structures comprising: a channel layer comprising at least one organic semiconductor channel material; a dopant layer, which comprises at least one p-dopant material and optionally at least one organic hole transport material; and a spacer layer disposed between and in electrical contact with both the channel layer and the dopant layer, comprising an organic semiconducting spacer material; or alternatively can include “remotely n-doped” structures comprising a combination of at least three layers: a channel layer comprising at least one organic semiconductor channel material; a dopant layer which comprises at least one organic electron transport material doped with an n-dopant material; and a spacer layer disposed between and in electrical contact with the channel layer and the dopant layer, comprising an organic semiconducting spacer material.
