Abstract

In this study, we first profiled model organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the structure Ag/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium (Alq3)/N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis[1-naphthyl -(1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′- diamine (NPB)/indium tin oxide (ITO) using dynamic SIMS. The element distribution across the multilayer and the dynamic SIMS spectra at different regions were obtained. It was shown that dynamic SIMS is a powerful tool in profiling OLEDs. Clear diffusion of Ag into the Alq3 layer was observed. The experimental results also revealed that a distinct interface for Alq3/NPB can be obtained using dynamic SIMS.
