▲ [21a-231C-9] CELIV measurement using MIS structure with MgF2 as the insulating layer
Keywords:MIS-CELIV, charge carrier mobility
The MIS-CELIV method is a newly-developed approach where charge carrier mobilities are calculated via the transient current produced from the extraction of accumulated carriers. Due to the metal-insulator-semiconductor structure, it can not only measure carrier mobilities within thin organic films, but also distinguish the carrier types by using different device configurations. Thus far, MIS-CELIV has usually been measured using Si/SiO2 substrates, however this limits the device structure as the placement of the insulator cannot be easily altered, like MgF2. In this work, we utilized MgF2 as the insulating layer of the MIS device, which enabled us to employ device configurations similar to a real OLED or OPV device with the use of indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. As a potential alternative to SiO2, the validity of charge carrier mobilities and transient responses obtained from MgF2 devices are discussed.
