  • Patent number: 8003980
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a layered organic device, and a method of forming the same. The method includes steps of applying a first solvent-containing organic layer to a substrate and removing solvent from the first solvent-containing organic layer to form a first solidified organic layer. Additional steps include applying a second solvent-containing organic layer to the first solidified organic layer and removing solvent from the second solvent-containing organic layer to form a second solidified organic layer. The first solidified organic layer can be crosslinked, which suppresses negative impact to components in the first solidified organic layer when the solvent of the second solvent-containing organic layer is deposited on the first solidified organic layer.

    Abstract: A method is provided for low temperature catalyst-assisted atomic layer deposition of silicon-containing films such as SiO2 and SiN. The method includes exposing a substrate surface containing X—H functional groups to a first R1—X—R2 catalyst and a gas containing silicon and chlorine to form an X/silicon/chlorine complex on the surface, and forming a silicon-X layer terminated with the X—H functional groups by exposing the X/silicon/chlorine complex on the substrate surface to a second R1—X—R2 catalyst and a X—H functional group precursor. The method further includes one or more integrated in-situ reactive treatments that reduce or eliminate the need for undesired high-temperature post-deposition processing. One reactive treatment includes hydrogenating unreacted X—H functional groups and removing carbon and chlorine impurities from the substrate surface. Another reactive treatment saturates the silicon-X layer with additional X—H functional groups.

  • Patent number: 7964443
    Abstract: A method of forming a crossed wire molecule device comprising a plurality of bottom electrodes, a plurality of top electrodes crossing the bottom electrodes at a non-zero angle, and a self-assembled molecular film chemically bonded to a surface of each of the bottom electrodes is provided. The self-assembled molecular film includes one or more defect sites and a plurality of active device molecules, each of the plurality of active device molecules including a molecular switching moiety having a self-assembling connecting group at one end of the moiety and a linking group at an opposed end of the moiety. The polymeric material chemically bonds to at least some of the linking groups of the plurality of active device molecules, causing the formation of the self-assembled molecular layer covering the plurality of active device molecules and the defect site(s). A molecular switching device is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7960771
    Abstract: A memory element is formed by providing an organic compound between a pair of upper and lower electrodes. However, when the electrode is formed over a layer containing an organic compound, a temperature is limited because the layer containing the organic compound can be influenced depending on a temperature for forming the electrode. A forming method for the electrode is limited due to this limitation of a temperature. Therefore, there are problems that an expected electrode cannot be formed, and miniaturization of an element is inhibited. A semiconductor device includes a memory element and a switching element which are provided over a substrate having an insulating surface. The memory element includes first and second electrodes, and a layer containing an organic compound, which are provided on the same plane. A current flows from the first electrode to the second electrode. The first electrode is electrically connected to the switching element.

  • Publication number: 20110133172
    Abstract: The light-emitting element of the present invention includes a light-emitting layer and a layer for controlling movement of carriers between a pair of electrodes. The layer for controlling movement of carriers includes a first organic compound having a carrier transporting property and a second organic compound for reducing the carrier transporting property of the first organic compound, and the second organic compound is dispersed in the first organic compound. The layer for controlling movement of carriers is provided in such a manner, whereby change in carrier balance with time can be suppressed. Therefore, a light-emitting element having a long lifetime can be obtained.
