研究目的
To develop a color filter-free image sensor using organic photodiodes with high detectivity and thin thickness by introducing a bifunctional etalon-electrode that combines electrode functionality with wavelength selectivity.
研究成果
The etalon-electrode concept successfully enables high-performance, color-selective OPDs with thin thickness (<800 nm) and high detectivity (>10^12 cm·Hz^0.5/W), facilitating easy patterning for image sensors. A prototype 10x10 array demonstrated accurate full-color image capture, indicating potential for ultra-high resolution organic image sensors without color filters.
研究不足
The etalon-electrode has lower transmittance (<70%) compared to ITO, leading to reduced photocurrent. FWHM of spectral response is increased in arrayed devices, and the method may require additional technologies for higher image quality, such as blocking diodes to suppress unwanted signals.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed an etalon-electrode based on Fabry-Pérot interferometer principles to achieve wavelength selectivity. Optical simulations using the transfer matrix method were conducted to optimize layer thicknesses. A panchromatic organic photodiode (OPD) with a ternary bulk heterojunction (BHJ) structure was developed for broadband absorption.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Glass substrates were used for device fabrication. Materials included LiF, Ag, MoO3, P3HT, PTB7-Th, PCBM, and chlorobenzene, sourced from Sigma-Aldrich, Rieke, 1-Material, and Nano-C.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included thermal evaporation systems for layer deposition, spin coaters for active layer application, sourcemeters (Keithley 2450) for electrical measurements, monochromators (Oriel Cornerstone 130), lock-in amplifiers (SR830), UV-Vis spectrometers (CARY5000), and SEM for imaging. Materials specifications: LiF and Ag layers with thicknesses optimized for R/G/B selectivity (e.g., 10/25/105/25/10 nm for blue).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Substrates were cleaned and etched. Etalon-electrodes were deposited via thermal evaporation. MoO3 hole extraction layer and ternary BHJ active layer were deposited. Cathodes (LiF/Al) were evaporated. Devices were characterized for J-V characteristics, EQE, noise current, and detectivity. A 10x10 pixel array was fabricated and tested for image capturing.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using equations for specific detectivity (D*), EQE, noise current, and linear dynamic range (LDR). Optical constants were derived from absorbance and transmittance measurements. Statistical analysis included ideality factor calculation from dark current curves.
