Abstract

The surface of poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) film was modified by 1.0 keV Ar⁺ irradiation with a dose of 6.5 × 10¹⁴ions/cm² prior to Ca deposition. Ultraviolet and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies indicated that the modified surface could effectively block Ca diffusion into the PFO film and prevent the formation of doping-induced bipolaron states in the former forbidden energy gap. As a result, a sharper metal contact on the surface of the PFO film could be formed, compared to that on the surface without Ar⁺ irradiation. The results suggest that the judicial surface modification of polymer surfaces may be useful for the improvement of metal/polymer contacts and thus device performance. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
