Popis: | Gallium codoping has been identified as an effective flux agent for SrS:Ce phosphor thin films. When rapid-thermal-annealed at temperatures above 750°C, the microstructure of sputtered SrS:Ce,Ga,F thin films underwent a transformation from columnar to spherulitic morphology. In addition, the crystal grain size increased by tenfold from 50 to 500 nm. Time-resolved photoluminescent measurements on 810°C-annealed SrS:Ce,Ga,F films showed decay times as long as 25 ns, indicating effective incorporation of Ce ions. As a result of crystallinity improvement, excellent electroluminescent performance, e.g., 60-Hz L 40 of 155 cd/m 2 , has been achieved in EL devices with 1.5-μm-thick SrS:Ce,Ga,F films. In addition, high luminous efficacy, e.g., e 40 = 1.15 Im/W, was achieved in devices with a thin SiON buffer layer added between the SrS:Ce and a BaTa 2 O 6 top insulator. |
