Metal-polymer interface in ultra-thin layers
- Determination of diffusion at interface
- Quantification of surface segregation (first atom)
- Root cause analysis of delamination
Example: Optimization of metal – polymer interface for (O)LED’s: Scharper interfaces give higher efficiencies
During evaporation of Barium on PPV, most of the Barium diffuses into the PPV. This is shown by comparing the peak for a sub-monolayer of Barium (blue) with the actual peak (red).
The width of the peak is a measure for the depth distribution.
