Abstract

In the fabrication of polymeric electroluminescent devices with indium-tin oxide (ITO) as anode, indium contamination of the polymers can greatly degrade the device performance. In the present study, we have used x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to measure indium incorporation in poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulphonate), referred to as PEDOT:PSS, which were spincast on bare ITO and encapsulated ITO. We found that the deposition of a self-assembled monolayer of alkylsiloxanes on ITO prior to spincasting PEDOT:PSS was effective and practical in blocking the reactions between ITO and PEDOT:PSS. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
