Abstract
Organic photodetectors (OPDs) are key devices for monitoring vital signs, such as heart rate and blood oxygen level. For realizing the long-term measurement of biosignals, stable operation is essential. To improve the stability of OPDs, it is important to analyze each layer to understand the degradation mechanism. We developed detachable top electrode (DTE)-OPDs to enable both surface analysis of the active layer and device characterization to be performed nondestructively and repeatedly within a single device. The substrate of the top electrode is a 2 μm thick elastomer sheet reinforced with polyurethane nanofibers. The DTE-OPDs showed a Dsh* of 1.4 × 1012 Jones by attaching the top electrodes to the bottom stack without external pressure. The DTE-OPDs showed no degradation after 1000 attaching/detaching cycles of the top electrodes. Using the DTE-OPDs, we successfully observed the relationship between dark current increase and oxidization of the active layer.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is a leading interdisciplinary journal that brings together chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists to explore the development and utilization of newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes for specific applications. Our journal has experienced remarkable growth since its establishment in 2009, both in terms of the number of articles published and the impact of the research showcased. We are proud to foster a truly global community, with the majority of published articles originating from outside the United States, reflecting the rapid growth of applied research worldwide.
