Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture penetration, and subsequent degradation of a device and the resulting device.
- this device include a light-emitting device (e.g., organic emitting light diode (OLED) device), a photovoltaic device, a thin-film sensor, an evanescent waveguide sensor, a food container and a medicine container.
- a light-emitting device e.g., organic emitting light diode (OLED) device
- a photovoltaic device e.g., a photovoltaic device
- a thin-film sensor e.g., an evanescent waveguide sensor
- a food container e.g., a medicine container.
- OLED devices The more prominent efforts to extend the lifetime of OLED devices include gettering, encapsulation and extensive device sealing techniques.
- Today one common way for sealing an OLED device is to use different types of epoxies, inorganic materials and/or organic materials that form a seal after they are cured by ultra-violet light, or heated by various means.
- Vitex Systems manufactures and offers for sell a coating under the brand name of BarixTM which is a composite based approach where alternate layers of inorganic materials and organic materials are used to seal the entire surface of the OLED device.
- BarixTM is a composite based approach where alternate layers of inorganic materials and organic materials are used to seal the entire surface of the OLED device.
- the present invention utilizes an LLT (low liquidus temperature) material, which typically has a low low liquidus temperature (or in specific embodiments a low glass transition temperature), to form a barrier layer on a device.
- the LLT material includes, but is not limited to, tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass and borate glass.
- the LLT material can be deposited onto the device by, for example, sputtering, co-evaporation, laser ablation, flash evaporation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting or rolling, spin-coating, or any combination thereof.
- Defects in the LLT material from the deposition step can be removed by a consolidation step (for example, heat treatment), to produce a pore-free, gas and moisture impenetrable protective coating on the device.
- a consolidation step for example, heat treatment
- the consolidation step is only practical with the LLT material where the consolidation temperature is sufficiently low so as to not damage the inner layers in the device.
- the deposition step and/or heat treatment step take place in a vacuum, or in an inert atmosphere, or in ambient conditions depending upon the LLT's composition.
- FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture degradation of a device in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the device that is protected by LLT material applied by the method shown in FIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGS. 3-9 illustrate several different graphs, photos and diagrams that are used to help explain the different experiments and the results of the different experiments which were conducted to demonstrate the capabilities and advantages of the present invention.
- the device 200 includes a heat treated low liquidus temperature (LLT) material 202 , one or more inner layers 204 and a support 206 .
- the method 100 includes step 102 in which the LLT material 202 is deposited over one or more inner layers 204 located on top of the support 206 (e.g., substrate 206 ) (see also FIG. 5 ).
- LLT low liquidus temperature
- the LLT material 202 can be deposited using anyone of variety of processes including, for example, sputtering, flash evaporation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting, rolling (for example a film LLT material 202 ), spin-coating, a co-evaporation, a laser ablation process, or any combination thereof.
- more than one type of LLT material 202 can be deposited (e.g., sputtered) at the same time over one or more inner layers 204 located on top of the support 206 (e.g., substrate 206 ).
- the method 100 also includes step 104 in which the device 200 including the deposited LLT material 202 is annealed, consolidated or heat treated.
- the heat treatment step 104 is performed to remove defects (e.g., pores) within the LLT material 202 which were formed during the deposition step 102 .
- Some examples of different devices 200 that can be protected by the heat treated LLT material 202 include a light-emitting device (e.g., OLED device), a photovoltaic device, a thin-film sensor, an evanescent waveguide sensor, a food container and a medicine container.
- the deposition step 102 and the heat treatment step 104 can be performed in a vacuum or inert atmosphere. This is done to ensure that the water-less and oxygen-free condition is maintained throughout the sealing process. This is especially important for robust, long-life operation of organic electronics with minimal degradation.
- the device 202 is an OLED device 200 that has multiple inner layers 204 which include a cathode and electro-luminescent materials that are located on the substrate 206 .
- the cathode and electro-luminescent materials 204 can be easily damaged if they are heated above for example 100-125° C.
- the heat treatment step 104 (so as to minimize or eliminate porosity) would not be possible in this particular application if traditional glass was deposited on the OLED device 200 .
- the temperature e.g., 600° C.
- needed to remove the defects in a traditional glass would be so high that the OLED device's inner layers 204 would be damaged.
- the heat treatment step 104 can be performed in this particular application because the temperature (e.g., 120° C.) needed to remove the defects in the LLT material 202 can be relatively low such that the OLED device's inner layers 204 would not be damaged.
- LLT material 202 makes this all possible because this type of material has a relatively low liquidus temperature ⁇ 1000° C.
- the low liquidus temperature means that the LLT 202 can be heat treated at a relatively low temperature to obtain a pore-free film which will not thermally damage the OLED device's inner layer(s) 204 .
- the heat treated LLT material 202 can also be used as a barrier layer on a wide variety of devices 200 in addition to the OLED device 202 such as a thin-film sensor, a photovoltaic device, an evanescent waveguide sensor, a food container, a medicine container or an electronic device that is sensitive to moisture, oxygen or other gases (for example).
- the LLT material 202 has low liquidus temperature ⁇ 1000° C. (and more preferably ⁇ 600° C. and even more preferably ⁇ 400° C.) and can include, for example, glass such as tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass, borate glass and phosphate glass (e.g., alkali Zn or SnZn pyrophosphates).

- low liquidus temperature materials can be annealed at a low temperature so as to remove mesoscopic defects from the physically deposited layers and also retain the physicochemical properties of the adjoining organic under-layers. This is in contrast to the VitexTM method in which the defects are not removed. Moreover, it has been shown that these low liquidus temperature barrier layers can be used to form an integral part of various devices (e.g., waveguide, grating sensors, photonic crystals etc.) while inhibiting the transport of materials detrimental to high-performance operation.
- various devices e.g., waveguide, grating sensors, photonic crystals etc.
- low liquidus temperature materials can be made which contain small-composite materials or other electro-optic dopants. These dopants can optimize the refractive indices or add additional electro-optic features to a device 200 . This can be particularly, useful when the device 200 is a waveguide sensor.
Abstract
A method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture degradation of a device and the resulting device are described herein. To inhibit the oxygen and moisture degradation of the device, a low liquidus temperature (LLT) material which typically has a low liquidus temperature (or in specific embodiments a low glass transition temperature) is used to form a barrier layer on the device. The LLT material can be, for example, tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass and borate glass. The LLT material can be deposited onto the device by, for example, sputtering, evaporation, laser-ablation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting or rolling, spin-coating or any combination thereof. Defects in the LLT material from the deposition step can be removed by a consolidation step (heat treatment), to produce a pore-free, gas and moisture impenetrable protective coating on the device. Although many of the deposition methods are possible with common glasses (i.e. high melting temperature glasses like borate silicate, silica, etc.), the consolidation step is only practical with the LLT material where the consolidation temperature is sufficiently low so as to not damage the inner layers in the device.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture penetration, and subsequent degradation of a device and the resulting device. Examples of this device include a light-emitting device (e.g., organic emitting light diode (OLED) device), a photovoltaic device, a thin-film sensor, an evanescent waveguide sensor, a food container and a medicine container.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Transport of oxygen or water through laminated or encapsulated materials and subsequent attack of an inner material(s) represent two of the more common degradation mechanisms associated with many devices like for example light-emitting devices (OLED devices), thin-film sensors, and evanescent waveguide sensors. For a detailed discussion about the problems associated with oxygen and water penetration into the inner layers (cathode and electro-luminescent materials) of OLED and other devices, reference is made to the following documents:
-
- Aziz, H., Popovic, Z. D., Hu, N. X., Hor, A. H., and Xu, G. “Degradation Mechanism of Small Molecule-Based Organic Light-Emitting Devices”, Science, 283, pp. 1900-1902, (1999).
- Burrows, P. E., Bulovic., V., Forrest, S. R., Sapochak, L. S., McCarty, D. M., Thompson, M. E. “Reliability and Degradation of Organic Light Emitting Devices”, Applied Physics Letters, 65(23), pp. 2922-2924.
- Chatham, H., “Review: Oxygen Diffusion Barrier Properties of Transparent Oxide Coatings on Polymeric Substrates”, 78, pp. 1-9, (1996).
- Unless something is done to minimize the penetration of oxygen or water into OLED devices, the lifetimes would be severely affected. Much effort has been expended to drive OLED operation towards 40 kilo-hour lifetimes, the levels generally regarded as necessary so OLED devices can overtake older display technologies as discussed in the following document:
-
- Forsythe, Eric, W., “Operation of Organic-Based Light-Emitting Devices, in Society for Information Display (SID) 40th anniversary Seminar Lecture Notes, Vol. 1, Seminar M5, Hynes Convention Center, Boston, Mass., May 20 and 24, (2002).
- The more prominent efforts to extend the lifetime of OLED devices include gettering, encapsulation and extensive device sealing techniques. Today one common way for sealing an OLED device is to use different types of epoxies, inorganic materials and/or organic materials that form a seal after they are cured by ultra-violet light, or heated by various means. For example, Vitex Systems manufactures and offers for sell a coating under the brand name of Barix™ which is a composite based approach where alternate layers of inorganic materials and organic materials are used to seal the entire surface of the OLED device. Although these types of seals provide some level of hermetic behavior, they can be very expensive and there are many instances in which they have failed to prevent the diffusion of oxygen and water into the OLED device under prolonged operation.
- The same sort of oxygen and water penetration problem is common in other types of devices as well like, for example, thin-film sensors, evanescent waveguide sensors, food containers and medicine containers. Accordingly, there is a need to inhibit the penetration of oxygen and water into devices like, for example, OLED devices, thin-film sensors, evanescent waveguide sensors, food containers and medicine containers. This need and other needs are satisfied by the present invention.
- The present invention utilizes an LLT (low liquidus temperature) material, which typically has a low low liquidus temperature (or in specific embodiments a low glass transition temperature), to form a barrier layer on a device. The LLT material includes, but is not limited to, tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass and borate glass. The LLT material can be deposited onto the device by, for example, sputtering, co-evaporation, laser ablation, flash evaporation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting or rolling, spin-coating, or any combination thereof. Defects in the LLT material from the deposition step can be removed by a consolidation step (for example, heat treatment), to produce a pore-free, gas and moisture impenetrable protective coating on the device. Although many of the deposition methods are possible with common glasses (i.e. those having high melting temperatures), the consolidation step is only practical with the LLT material where the consolidation temperature is sufficiently low so as to not damage the inner layers in the device. In other embodiments, the deposition step and/or heat treatment step take place in a vacuum, or in an inert atmosphere, or in ambient conditions depending upon the LLT's composition.
- A more complete understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a method for inhibiting oxygen and moisture degradation of a device in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the device that is protected by LLT material applied by the method shown inFIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention; and -
FIGS. 3-9 illustrate several different graphs, photos and diagrams that are used to help explain the different experiments and the results of the different experiments which were conducted to demonstrate the capabilities and advantages of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1-2 , there are respectively illustrated a flowchart of amethod 100 for inhibiting oxygen and moisture degradation of adevice 200 and a cross-sectional side view of the protecteddevice 200. As described below, thedevice 200 includes a heat treated low liquidus temperature (LLT)material 202, one or moreinner layers 204 and asupport 206. And, themethod 100 includesstep 102 in which theLLT material 202 is deposited over one or moreinner layers 204 located on top of the support 206 (e.g., substrate 206) (see alsoFIG. 5 ). TheLLT material 202 can be deposited using anyone of variety of processes including, for example, sputtering, flash evaporation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting, rolling (for example a film LLT material 202), spin-coating, a co-evaporation, a laser ablation process, or any combination thereof. Alternatively, more than one type ofLLT material 202 can be deposited (e.g., sputtered) at the same time over one or moreinner layers 204 located on top of the support 206 (e.g., substrate 206). Moreover, multiple layers of the same or different types ofLLT material 202 can be deposited (e.g., sputtered) over one or moreinner layers 204 located on top of the support 206 (e.g., substrate 206). Themethod 100 also includesstep 104 in which thedevice 200 including the depositedLLT material 202 is annealed, consolidated or heat treated. Theheat treatment step 104 is performed to remove defects (e.g., pores) within theLLT material 202 which were formed during thedeposition step 102. Some examples ofdifferent devices 200 that can be protected by the heat treatedLLT material 202 include a light-emitting device (e.g., OLED device), a photovoltaic device, a thin-film sensor, an evanescent waveguide sensor, a food container and a medicine container. Thedeposition step 102 and theheat treatment step 104 can be performed in a vacuum or inert atmosphere. This is done to ensure that the water-less and oxygen-free condition is maintained throughout the sealing process. This is especially important for robust, long-life operation of organic electronics with minimal degradation. - In one embodiment, the
device 202 is anOLED device 200 that has multipleinner layers 204 which include a cathode and electro-luminescent materials that are located on thesubstrate 206. The cathode and electro-luminescent materials 204 can be easily damaged if they are heated above for example 100-125° C. As such, the heat treatment step 104 (so as to minimize or eliminate porosity) would not be possible in this particular application if traditional glass was deposited on theOLED device 200. Because, the temperature (e.g., 600° C.) needed to remove the defects in a traditional glass (soda-lime) would be so high that the OLED device'sinner layers 204 would be damaged. However, in the present invention, theheat treatment step 104 can be performed in this particular application because the temperature (e.g., 120° C.) needed to remove the defects in theLLT material 202 can be relatively low such that the OLED device'sinner layers 204 would not be damaged. - The use of
LLT material 202 makes this all possible because this type of material has a relatively low liquidus temperature ≦1000° C. The low liquidus temperature means that theLLT 202 can be heat treated at a relatively low temperature to obtain a pore-free film which will not thermally damage the OLED device's inner layer(s) 204. Again, it should be appreciated that the heat treatedLLT material 202 can also be used as a barrier layer on a wide variety ofdevices 200 in addition to theOLED device 202 such as a thin-film sensor, a photovoltaic device, an evanescent waveguide sensor, a food container, a medicine container or an electronic device that is sensitive to moisture, oxygen or other gases (for example). - In the preferred embodiment, the
LLT material 202 has low liquidus temperature ≦1000° C. (and more preferably ≦600° C. and even more preferably ≦400° C.) and can include, for example, glass such as tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass, borate glass and phosphate glass (e.g., alkali Zn or SnZn pyrophosphates). TheseLLT materials 202 are desirable for several reasons including (for example): -
- The low liquidus temperature (LLT) materials can be devoid of heavy metals and other environmentally undesirable materials.
- The LLT materials can be durable and exhibit low dissolution rates when immersed in water at 85° C. (<20 microns per day). See, Tick, P. A., “Water Durable Glasses with Ultra Low Melting Temperatures”, Physics and Chemistry of Glasses, 25(6) pp. 149-154 (1984).
- The LLT material can contain dye molecules and can be doped to levels as high as 8 mM (4.8×1018 cm−3). See, Tick, P. A., Hall, D. W., “Nonlinear Optical Effects in Organically Doped Low Melting Glasses”, Diffusion and Defect Data, Vol. 53-54, pp. 179-188, (1987).
- The LLT phosphate glasses have
helium permeability coefficients 4 to 5 orders of magnitude less than that of fused silica. See, Peter, K. H., Ho, D., Thomas, S., Friend, R. H., Tessler, N. “All-Polymer Optoelectronic Devices”, Science, 285, pp. 233-236, (199).

LLT glasses 202 are durable as indicated inFIGS. 3 and 4 .FIG. 3 is a graph that illustrates the results of a weight loss experiment that was conducted for 1000 hours in 85° C. water. As can be seen, the tested LLT glasses 202 (composition nos. 1, 2 and 4) have a durability that is comparable to Corning Inc.'s 1737 glass (traditional glass).FIG. 4 is a graph that indicates that the weight loss measurements of the tested LLT glasses 202 (composition nos. 1 and 4-5). - A “calcium patch” experiment was also performed and the resulting experimental data are discussed next to illustrate the low permeability of oxygen and water through one of the aforementioned LLT glass film layers 202 (composition no. 1).
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional side view of anoven 502 which contains adevice 200 that includes LLT glass films 202 (composition no. 1), two inner layers 204 (Al and Ca) and a substrate 206 (Corning Inc.'s 1737 glass substrate). The Al and Ca layers 204 were deposited on thethick substrate 206 and then encapsulated with LLT glass films 202 (composition no. 1). During this experiment, several of thesedevices 200 were placed within theoven 502 and subjected to environmental aging at a fixed temperature and humidity, typically 85° C. and 85% relative humidity (“85/85 testing”). In each testeddevice 200, theCa layer 204 was initially a highly reflecting metallic mirror. And, if water and oxygen penetrated the top encapsulation layer ofLLT glass films 202, then themetallic Ca 204 reacted and turned into an opaque white flaky crust which could be quantified with an optical measurement (seeFIGS. 6 and 7 ). - More specifically, the “calcium patch” test was performed as follows. A 100
nm Ca film 204 was evaporated onto a Corning Inc.'s 1737glass substrate 206. Then, a 200nm Al layer 204 was evaporated on theCa film 204. TheAl layer 204 was used to simulate the conditions of a cathode typically used to produce polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs). Using a “dual-boat” customized Cressington evaporator, the 1737glass substrate 206 was maintained at 130° C. and approximately 10−6 Torr during the Ca and Al evaporation steps. After cooling to room temperature, the vacuum was broken and then the calcium patch was extracted and carried in a vacuum dessicator to an RF sputtering vacuum system, and pumped overnight back to 10−6 Torr. The LLT glass 202 (composition no. 1) was then sputtered onto the Al and Ca layers 204 under relatively gentle RF power deposition conditions (30 W forward/1 W reflected RF power) and low argon pressure (˜19 sccm) (seestep 102 inFIG. 1 ). The sputtering was performed for 24 hours to obtain a glass thickness in the range of 2.5 μm (chamber pressure 10−3 Torr). It should be noted that the LLT material thickness can be made as thick as one needs depending on one's chosen deposition duration. Then, some of the newly createddevices 200 were heated to ˜121° C. by an infrared lamp which was mounted in the vacuum chamber to consolidate the sputtered LLT glass layers 202 (seestep 104 inFIG. 1 ) (see top row of pictures inFIG. 6 ). Upon cooling, the vacuum was broken and the heat-treateddevices 200 and the non-heat-treateddevices 200 were placed in a humidity chamber and held at 85° C. and 85%. relative humidity. During this period, pictures where taken at regular time intervals to quantify the evolution of the testeddevices 202. An illustration of the changes to the calcium film in the testeddevices 200, prepared under slightly different conditions is shown inFIG. 6 . -
FIG. 6 shows the pictures of the testeddevices 200 which were taken at regular intervals to follow the rate of calcium oxidation which is an indication of the permeation properties of theLTG glass films 202. The left panel inFIG. 6 , labeled “Typical Starting Condition”, shows the initial metallic Ca layers 204 of testeddevices 200 before oxidation reactions associated with this test occurred (i.e., Ca+2H2O→Ca(OH)2+H2, and 2Ca+O2→2CaO) . The images in the bottom row were taken, at the indicated time intervals, of asample device 200 prepared without any heating of the LLT glass sputteredglass layer 202. The images in the middle row were taken of asimilar device 200 that was heated (at 121° C.) during the first hour of the 24 hour glass deposition time interval. And, the testeddevice 200 shown in the top row was prepared similarly except that it was heated (at 121° C.) after the 24 hour glass deposition time interval. Clearly, the testeddevice 200 shown in the top row that had the entire LTG glass thickness subjected to heat-treatment fended off oxygen and water attack best. - The photos of
FIG. 6 were quantified by calculating the percentage of area that turned to a “white flaky crust” versus the percentage of area that maintained a “silvery metallic finish” and the calculated values were plotted as a function of time (seeFIG. 7 ).FIG. 7 is a graph that illustrates the percentage of calcium area oxidized due to time spent in the 85° C. and 85%relative humidity oven 502 for the three tested devices 200 (seeFIG. 6 ) and one non-covered device. As shown,data 702 represents the percentage of the calcium patch surface area that was oxidized on a calcium patch that had the 100 nm calcium and 200 nm aluminum layers but was not coated withLLT glass 202. And,data 704 represents the calcium patch surface area that was oxidized in one of the testeddevices 200 which had a 2.5 μm sputtered LLT glass layer 202 (composition no. 1) that was not heat treated.Data 706 represents the calcium patch surface area that was oxidized in another testeddevice 200 which had a 2.5 μm sputtered LLT glass layer 202 (composition no. 1) that was heat treated at 121° C. for the first hour during the 24 hour deposition period. Lastly,data 708 represents the calcium patch surface area that was oxidized in anothertest device 200 which had a 2.5 μm sputtered LLT glass layer 202 (composition no. 1) that was heat treated at 121° C. for one hour after the 24 hour deposition period. As can be seen, thedevice 200 that was heat treated after the deposition period performed the best. - To generate this graph, LabView™ code was written to process the successive images shown in
FIG. 6 of each testeddevice 200 during time spent in the 85/85oven 502. The “first image” on the left side ofFIG. 6 , before the testeddevice 200 was placed in the humidity oven, served as the reference baseline from which a threshold was calculated. The threshold was assigned by choosing the first minimum pixel intensity value that occurred after the main peak, or “hump”, in the histogram of the first image. Data pixels, in later images, were deemed “calcium oxidized” if their pixel value exceeded this threshold. The fraction of area, deemed “calcium oxidized”, at any given time in theoven 502, is plotted inFIG. 7 . Clearly, the testeddevice 200 with the LLT glass 202 (composition no. 1) that was heat treated at 121° C. after the 24 hour film deposition step exhibited the best impermeability for moisture and oxygen. As can be seen, this experiment has demonstrated that physically deposited low TG glass thin-film layers 202 can be gently “annealed” to restore the essentially pore-free barrier layer. - Next, we describe how the water permeation rates of the tested
devices 200 were estimated with the aid of TABLE 3 andFIG. 8 . The water permeation rate in the testeddevices 200 were estimated by first calculating the total amount of calcium metal in the 100nm layer 204. Then, by consultingFIG. 7 and other additional data, we estimated the time it took for half the calcium in the ½″×1″×100 nm patch to become oxidized, the so-called half life. This yields the average number of grams oxidized with water vapor per day, per unit meter2 in an 85/85 environment. To convert to ambient conditions, a scale factor was introduced between the ambient time (ambient half life) and time spent in the 85/85 environment (85/85 half life). To determine this scale factor, we used a calcium patch made with calcium and aluminum layers alone and placed half in the 85/85oven 502, and the other half was left out in atmosphere. The time (1.2 hours) it took the half of the calcium patch that was placed in the oven to oxidize versus the time (163 hours) it took the half left out in the atmosphere to oxidize enabled us to estimate the scale factor required to convert the measured permeation rates to ambient conditions. These values are shown in the underlined section in TABLE 3.TABLE 3 Half-life time to half 85/85 permeation ambient permeation coverage rate (measured) rate (calculated) no glass cover 163 hr 1.1 × 10−2 1.1 × 10−2 no glass cover* 1.2 hr 1.6 1.1 × 10−2 comp. no. 1 (no 16 hr 1.2 × 10−1 8.6 × 10−4 heating)* comp. no. 1 little ≈320 hr 5.8 × 10−3 4.3 × 10−5 heating* comp. no. 1 more ˜1250 hr 1.5 × 10−3 1.1 × 10−5 heating of structure*

- These values may be illustrated graphically and compared with traditional seals like Vitex system's Barix™ seals as shown in
FIGS. 9A and 9B . The data associated with the testeddevice 200 that had LLT glass 204 (composition no. 1) which was heat treated after the deposition step is shown inFIGS. 9A and 9B . Also, shown is data associated with Vitex system's Barix™ seals. As can be seen, the testeddevice 200 performed better than the device that used a Barix™ seal. It should be noted that the photograph/graph inFIG. 9B also shows the relative levels of oxygen permeability of typical polymers and coatings and the sensitivity limits of current test equipment. - From the foregoing, it can be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention utilizes LLT materials which have low liquidus temperatures to form a barrier layer with permeation properties comparable to the material itself. The LLT materials include, but are not limited to, tin fluorophosphate glass, chalcogenide glass, tellurite glass, phosphate glass and borate glass. These LLT materials are especially suitable for inhibiting oxygen or/and moisture degradation common to electronic devices, food or medicine. In addition, these LLT materials may be used to reduce, for example, photochemical, hydrolytic, and oxidative damage due to chemically active permeants. The LLT materials may be deposited using one or more of the following methods such as sputtering, evaporation, spraying, pouring, frit-deposition, vapor-deposition, dip-coating, painting or rolling, spin-coating (for example). Defects in the LLT materials from the deposition step are removed by a consolidation step (heat treatment) in order to produce a pore-free, gas and moisture impenetrable protective coating on the device. The barrier layer is quite durable, exhibiting low weight loss (0.28%) in standardized 1000 hour, 85° C. water-immersion tests, and enduring over 600 hours in calcium patch tests, in 85° C. and 85% relative humidity chambers. Although many of the deposition methods are possible with common glasses (i.e. high melting temperature), the consolidation step is truly practical with the LLT materials where the consolidation temperature is sufficiently low to inhibit thermal damage to nearby layers.
- In recent experiments that have been conducted, it has been shown that with a certain type of
LLT material 202 namely the tin fluorophosphates material it can have a higher Tg (and different stoichiometric composition) after it has been deposited (sputtered) as a film and after that sputtered film has been heat-treated. A description is provided next to discuss a theory as to why the Tg (and stoichiometric composition) is different between the starting LLT material and both the sputtered (deposited) film and the heat-treated sputtered film. Basically, in this experiment it has been found the original composition no. 1 glass target has all divalent tin (i.e., Sn2+). While, the sputter-deposited thin film material is composed of 66% Sn4+ and 34% Sn2+. Now when this sputter-deposited thin film material is heated at 120° C. for one hour in vacuum, the tin oxidation state is driven to 100% tetravalent tin (i.e., Sn4+). It is believed these differences in the Sn changes the stoichiometric composition and as a result the Tg of the deposited and heat treated composition no. 1 film. - It should be understood that this change in LT appears to happen with the tin fluorophosphates material and not with the tellurite and borate films which have the same Tg as the starting targets. Moreover, a tin-pyrophosphate glass (Sn2P2O7) was tested to see if the Tg changed between the sputtered (deposited) film and the heat-treated sputtered film. In this test, tin pyrophosphate powder was put it into an evaporative heating boat in a vacuum chamber and pumped down to a 10{circumflex over (0)}-6 Torr vacuum. The boat was then heated to approximately 80 Watts before we started evaporating the material onto a substrate. The deposited material was then heated at 120° C. for one hour in vacuum. Then, a hermeticity experiment was conducted on the resulting film and it was found that the stoichiometric composition of the material was maintained through-out the entire process. This includes the both the deposited film and the heated-deposited-film.
- It has also been shown herein that barrier layers containing a subset of durable low liquidus temperature materials provide substantial protection from oxygen and water attack (and transport) beyond traditional physically-deposited oxide barrier layers. For instance, the preferred barrier layers described herein can have a water and oxygen permeance below 10−6 g/m2/day and 10−5 cc/m2/atm/day, respectively. Furthermore, it has been shown that physically-deposited low liquidus temperature thin-film barrier layers can be annealed at temperatures suitable for retaining the integrity of adjoining organic layer material physicochemical properties. This last feature makes durable low liquidus temperature materials unique compared with other physically deposited oxide barrier layers. These low liquidus temperature materials can be annealed at a low temperature so as to remove mesoscopic defects from the physically deposited layers and also retain the physicochemical properties of the adjoining organic under-layers. This is in contrast to the Vitex™ method in which the defects are not removed. Moreover, it has been shown that these low liquidus temperature barrier layers can be used to form an integral part of various devices (e.g., waveguide, grating sensors, photonic crystals etc.) while inhibiting the transport of materials detrimental to high-performance operation.
- Even though specific types of tin fluorophosphate glass, borate glass and tellurite glass are discussed and described in detail herein, it should be appreciated that other types of LLT materials may also be used in accordance with the present invention. It should also be appreciated that low liquidus temperature materials can be made which contain small-composite materials or other electro-optic dopants. These dopants can optimize the refractive indices or add additional electro-optic features to a
device 200. This can be particularly, useful when thedevice 200 is a waveguide sensor. - Although several embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated in the accompanying Drawings and described in the foregoing Detailed Description, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth and defined by the following claims.
