Abstract :
[en] The electrical characteristics of organic light emitting devices containing a continuous distribution of trap states in the forbidden gap are obtained by numerically solving the basic semiconductor equations for the steady state and under small-signal conditions. The spatially-dependent occupied trap states, which are described by an explicit density of states function, modify the charge distribution within the structure and the shape of the electric field and the carrier current densities. The effect of the modulation frequency, the applied voltage and the device temperature are studied for a hole conducting layer with a trap density of states consisting of a double gaussian profile and for a given set of microscopic parameters including the carrier mobilities and thermal velocities, the capture cross sections, and the residual shallow impurity concentration. The frequency-dependent loss and capacitance curves are obtained for various experimental conditions, like temperature and applied steady-state voltage. Effects of parameters describing electrical contacts and trap density of states are shown. Such results are particularly useful for the analysis of experimental electrical characteristics obtained by thermal admittance spectroscopy.
