Semiconductor substrate architecture: MerckRecent Research Landscape

Charge carrier mobility and device stability degrade due to poor contact between organic and inorganic components. Engineering the specific chemical composition of the organic layers optimizes charge injection and prevents delamination.

What technical problems is Merck addressing in Semiconductor substrate architecture?

Low radiative recombination efficiency

(24)evidences

Organic electroluminescent materials suffer from rapid degradation and poor chemical stability during electronic excitation. Addressing this failure mode extends device operational lifespan and prevents premature luminance decay.

Short device operational lifespan

(9)evidences

Organic electronic materials suffer from chemical instability and bond cleavage during operation. Replacing hydrogen with deuterium mitigates these degradation pathways to extend operational lifespan.
