Work function tuning for high-performance solution-processed organic photodetectors with inverted structure

Abstract

Organic photodetectors with inverted structure are fabricated by solution process techniques. A very thin interfacing layer of polyethyleneimine leads to a homogenous interface with low work function. The devices exhibit excellent performances, in particular in terms of low dark current density, wide range linearity, high detectivity, and remarkable stability in ambient air without encapsulation.

Keywords: inverted structure; organic electronics; photodetectors; solution process; work function.
