Technical Details & Test Data

LEDs (Organic, Polymer, Phosphorescent)

They are utilized to modify a variety of surfaces that include glass, metal oxides, plastics and nano-crystals. Plastic substrates are critical in the manufacture of flexible electronic displays. Gelest offers a multitude of materials for metallization via low temperature vapor deposition techniques such as CVD and ALD to yield conductive coatings and dielectric coatings for light emitting diodes to include OLEDs, PLEDs and Phosphorescent OLEDs. The ability to customize the refractive index of Group IV materials makes them ideal candidates for cladding fiber optic cables and planar wave guides. Gelest offers an extensive range of materials for antireflective and refractive index coatings.

Extraction Process
  • Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a chemically self-limiting deposition technique that is based on the sequential use of a gaseous chemical process. In most cases, ALD reactions use two chemical precursors which react with a surface one at a time in a sequential, self-limiting, manner.
  • A thin film results from repeating the deposition sequence as many times as needed to reach a certain thickness. The major characteristic of the films is their conformality and the tact that the amount of control provided by an ALD arrangement (where the reacting precursors are spatially separated) allows to obtain very thin deposited layers (as fine as 0.1 A per cycle).
  • Precursor selection is key in ALD processes, namely finding molecules which will have enough reactivity to produce the desired films, but are stable enough to be handled and safely delivered to the reaction chamber.
