The compound may have a maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) of greater than or equal to about 510 nm and less than or equal to about 565 nm in a thin film state. Within the range, it may have for example a maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) of about 520 nm to about 560 nm, for example about 520 nm to about 565 nm. The thin film may be a thin film obtained by deposition under a vacuum condition.
The compound may have a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 50 nm to about 120 nm in a thin film state. Herein, the FWHM is a width of a wavelength corresponding to half of a maximum absorption point. When the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is small, wavelength selectivity is increased by selectively absorbing light in a narrow wavelength region. When the FWHM is within the range, selectivity in a green wavelength region may be increased. The thin film may be a thin film obtained by deposition under a vacuum condition.
The compound has a relatively high melting point (Tm) and thus may be effectively formed into a thin film by a deposition method. The deposition method may provide a uniform thin film and have small inclusion possibility of impurities into the thin film, but when the compound has a lower melting point than a temperature for the deposition, a product decomposed from the compound may be deposited and thus performance of a device may be deteriorated. Accordingly, the compound desirably has a higher melting point than the deposition temperature. From this view, the compound may have a higher melting point than the deposition temperature and for example when a melting point of the compound is Tm and a deposition temperature is Ts, the melting point may satisfies Tm−Ts≧10° C.
Illustrated in more detail, the compound is a donor-acceptor material including both an electron donor moiety and an electron acceptor moiety, and in general, the donor-acceptor material has sufficient charge transfer characteristics but weak thermal characteristics and thus may be easily thermally decomposed during deposition. This compound having weak thermal characteristics is thermally decomposed during deposition and thus may not only deteriorate performance of a device but also the performance of the device again when exposed to a relatively high temperature (about 160° C.) in a subsequent process such as a micro lens array (MLA) and resultantly, cause a morphology change of a thin film.
The compound has a structure capable of improving thermal characteristics despite a donor-acceptor material and thus may increase thermal stability. Accordingly, when the compound is applied to a device, charge transfer characteristics and thermal properties may be simultaneously satisfied.
The compound may be for example applied to a device as a p-type semiconductor or an n-type semiconductor. For example, the compound may be used as a p-type semiconductor. For example, the compound may be used with fullerene or a fullerene derivative. Because an LUMO energy level of the fullerene is about 4.2 eV, the compound may have a higher energy level than about 4.2 eV. A HOMO energy level of the compound may be about 5.0 eV to about 5.8 eV and an LUMO energy level of the compound may be about 2.7 eV to about 3.9 eV, and an energy bandgap of the compound may be about 1.9 eV to about 2.3 eV. The compound having a HOMO level, an LUMO level, and an energy bandgap within the ranges may be used as a p-type or n-type semiconductor effectively absorbing light in a green wavelength region, and thus has high external quantum efficiency (EQE) and resultantly improves photoelectric conversion efficiency.
For example, the compound may have a molecular weight of about 300 to about 1500 g/mol. Within the range, it may be stably deposited. However, the compound may be formed into a film by a solution process in addition to the deposition method.
The compound may be formed into a thin film which may be applied to various devices and electronic devices.
For example, the compound may be applied to a photoelectric device.

Hereinafter, an example of an image sensor including the organic photoelectric device is described referring to drawings. As an example of an image sensor, an organic CMOS image sensor is described.
Referring to
The semiconductor substrate 310 may be a silicon substrate, and is integrated with the photo-sensing device 50R and 50B, the transmission transistor (not shown), and the charge storage 55. The photo-sensing devices 50R and 50B may be photodiodes.
The photo-sensing devices 50B and 50R, the transmission transistor, and/or the charge storage 55 may be integrated in each pixel, and as shown in the drawing, the photo-sensing devices 50B and 50R may be respectively included in a blue pixel and a red pixel and the charge storage 55 may be included in a green pixel.
The photo-sensing devices 50B and 50R sense light, the information sensed by the photo-sensing devices may be transferred by the transmission transistor, the charge storage 55 is electrically connected to the organic photoelectric device 100, and the information of the charge storage 55 may be transferred by the transmission transistor.
In the drawings, the photo-sensing devices 50B and 50R are, for example, arranged in parallel without limitation, and the blue photo-sensing device 50B and the red photo-sensing device 50R may be stacked in a vertical direction.
A metal wire (not shown) and a pad (not shown) are formed on the semiconductor substrate 110. In order to decrease signal delay, the metal wire and pad may be made of a metal having low resistivity, for example, aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and alloys thereof, but are not limited thereto. Further, it is not limited to the structure, and the metal wire and pad may be disposed under the photo-sensing devices 50B and 50R.
The lower insulation layer 60 is formed on the metal wire and the pad. The lower insulation layer 60 may be made of an inorganic insulating material such as a silicon oxide and/or a silicon nitride, or a low dielectric constant (low K) material such as SiC, SiCOH, SiCO, and SiOF. The lower insulation layer 60 has a trench exposing the charge storage 55. The trench may be filled with fillers.
A color filter layer 70 is formed on the lower insulation layer 60. The color filter layer 70 includes a blue filter 70B overlapping with the photo-sensing device 50B and selectively transmitting blue light in a blue pixel and a red filter 70R overlapping with the photo-sensing device 50R and selectively transmitting red light in a red pixel. In the present embodiment, a green filter is not included, but a green filter may be further included.
The color filter layer 70 may be omitted. For example, when the blue photo-sensing device 50B and the red photo-sensing device 50R are stacked in a vertical direction, the blue photo-sensing device 50B and the red photo-sensing device 50R may selectively absorb light in each wavelength region depending on their stack depth, and the color filter layer 70 may not be equipped.
The upper insulation layer 80 is formed on the color filter layer 70. The upper insulation layer 80 may eliminate a step caused by the color filter layer 70 and smoothen the surface. The upper insulation layer 80 and the lower insulation layer 60 may include a contact hole (not shown) exposing a pad, and a through-hole 85 exposing the charge storage 55 of the green pixel.
The organic photoelectric device 100 is formed on the upper insulation layer 80. The organic photoelectric device 100 includes the first electrode 10, the active layer 30, and the second electrode 20 as described above.
The first electrode 10 and the second electrode 20 may be transparent electrodes, and the active layer 30 is the same as described above. The active layer 30 selectively absorbs and/or senses light in a green wavelength region and replaces a color filter of a green pixel.
When light enters from the second electrode 20, the light in a green wavelength region may be mainly absorbed in the active layer 30 and photoelectrically converted, while the light in the rest of the wavelength regions passes through first electrode 10 and may be sensed in the photo-sensing devices 50B and 50R.
As described above, the organic photoelectric devices selectively absorbing light in a green wavelength region are stacked and thereby a size of an image sensor may be decreased and a down-sized image sensor may be realized.
As described above, the compound may be used as a p-type or n-type semiconductor compound, degradation of the compound in a deposition process and/or subsequent processes is inhibited, and thereby stable light absorption characteristics, electric characteristic and thermal properties may be realized. Thereby, green wavelength selectivity may be maintained, crosstalk caused by unnecessary absorption of other light except a green wavelength region may be decreased and sensitivity may be increased.

However, the organic CMOS image sensor 500 according to the example embodiment illustrated in
As described above, the organic photoelectric devices selectively absorbing light in a green wavelength region are stacked and the red photo-sensing device and the blue photo-sensing device are stacked, and thereby a size of an image sensor may be decreased and a down-sized image sensor may be realized. As described above, the organic photoelectric device 100 has improved green wavelength selectivity, and crosstalk caused by unnecessary absorption of light in a wavelength region except green may be decreased while increasing sensitivity.
In
Referring to
In the drawing, the red photoelectric device (R), the green photoelectric device (G), and the blue photoelectric device (B) are sequentially stacked, but the stack order may be changed without limitation.
The green photoelectric device (G) may be the photoelectric device 100, the blue photoelectric device (B) may include electrodes facing each other and an active layer disposed therebetween and including an organic material selectively absorbing light in a blue wavelength region, and the red photoelectric device (R) may include electrodes facing each other and an active layer disposed therebetween and including an organic material selectively absorbing light in a red wavelength region.
As described above, the photoelectric device (G) selectively absorbing and/or sensing light in a green wavelength region, the photoelectric device (B) selectively absorbing and/or sensing light in a red wavelength region, and the photoelectric device (R) selectively absorbing and/or sensing light in a blue wavelength region are stacked, and thereby a size of an image sensor may be decreased, sensitivity may be increased, and crosstalk may be reduced.
The image sensor has absorbance in a desirable wavelength region and thus may improve sensitivity (YSNR10) and color reproducibility (ΔE*ab) while having a stack structure.
Herein, YSNR10 is a value indicating sensitivity of an image sensor and is measured in a method described in Juha Alakarhu's “Image Sensors and Image Quality in Mobile Phones” in an outline collection of 2007 International Image Sensor Workshop (Ogunquit Me., USA) wherein a minimum intensity of illumination at a ratio of a signal and a noise being about 10 is expressed as lux. Accordingly, as a value of YSNR10 is smaller, sensitivity becomes higher.
The color reproducibility (ΔE*ab) is a value indicating a certain difference from a standard color of an X-Rite chart, and
ΔE*ab is defined as a distance between two points on a L*a*b* color space by CIE (Commission International de L'Eclairage) in 1976. For example, the color difference may be calculated according to Equation 1.
ΔE=√{square root over ((ΔL*)2+(Δa*)2+(Δb*)2)} [Equation 1]
In Equation 1,
ΔL* denotes a change of a color coordinate L* compared with the color coordinate L* at room temperature (about 20° C. to about 25° C.),
Δa* denotes a change of a color coordinate a* compared with the color coordinate a* at room temperature, and
Δb* denotes a change of a color coordinate b* compared with the color coordinate b* at room temperature.
In order to manufacture an image sensor having high color reproducibility at high sensitivity, it is necessary that ΔE*ab≦3 at YSNR10≦100 lux, and at least one of the compounds represented by Chemical Formulae 1 to 4 may realize sensitivity of YSNR10≦100 lux and color reproducibility of ΔE*ab≦3.
The image sensor may be applied to various electronic devices, for example, a mobile phone, a digital camera, and the like but is not limited thereto.
