Abstract

Admittance spectroscopy (AS) is a simple technique to measure the carrier mobility of organic semiconductors, but requires an Ohmic contact for charge injection. Chlorinated indium tin oxide (Cl-ITO) is shown to be a good charge injecting electrode for AS due to its high work function of >6.1 eV. The mobility of N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis-(1-naphthyl)-1-1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (α-NPD) measured with Cl-ITO was found to be in excellent agreement with the value measured by time of flight. Cl-ITO is therefore an ideal electrode for AS since it possesses a high work function, but does not introduce any series impedance into the device structure.
