摘要
Possible device structures for using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) for alternating current thin film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices have been evaluated. SrS : Ce ACTFEL structures have been made on a highly doped silicon substrate, which is used as supporting electrode. RTA was performed on these EL devices and the effect of different annealing temperature, annealing time and of ZnS buffer layers was investigated. Besides an increase in total brightness, a change in crystallinity and in device characteristics was seen. Time resolved optical measurements could be explained by assuming the role of interface states. Composition of the layers and diffusion phenomena have been investigated, using X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy. At annealing temperatures above 700 degrees C, the Ce ion becomes mobile. The possible physical processes behind these effects have been discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
