We fabricated an organic/inorganic hybrid structure by using GaN, MEH-PPV (poly(2-methoxy-5(20-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene)) and PEDOT:PSS poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) and investigated the effects of solutions of MEH-PPV fiber in different solvents such as chlorobenzene, toluene, THF (tetrahydrofuran), and chloroform. The layer thickness and the luminescence properties of the MEH-PPV solutions with different solvents were affected by the structure of the aromatic or the nonaromatic compound.
Among the solutions, the one with MEH-PPV dissolved in the aromatic compound chlorobenzene showed the lowest threshold voltage, series resistance, and ideality factor. The properties of devices were evaluated by using cross-sectional field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), photoluminescence (PL), current-voltage (I-V), and fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) measurements.
