Reducing Organic LED Fabrication Time and Cost via Multi-Scale Flow Simulation

Drift diffusion simulations are widely applied to study multilayer organic LED devices, whereas microscopic methods are often restricted to the computation of single molecule properties that cannot directly be translated to the device scale. In this webinar, we present an automated interface flow from microscopic to TCAD simulation, in order to bridge this gap and enable device designers to analyze the impact of microscopic molecular properties on device performance. Microscopic simulations are applied to compute input for TCAD models such as density of states (DOS) and material mobility from first principles (i.e. without using additional parameters). This allows the integration of molecular materials modeling into circuit design. Crucially, this approach will enable device designers to investigate the material design space as well as the device design space in one automated flow.

What attendees will learn:

• Apply multi-scale simulations to complement experimental R&D of OLED materials and devices
• Identify key challenges in the multi-scale simulation of properties of OLED materials and devices
• Analyze microscopic bottlenecks in device performance using multi-scale simulations
• Analyze the impact of microscopic properties and processes on device performance
• Use multiscale simulations to establish structure-function relationships for targeted design of OLED materials
• Design, submit, and monitor multi-package simulation workflows on remote resources using the SimStack Workflow Platform
• Compute density of states (DOS) and charge carrier mobility of pristine and mixed organic layers from first principles
• Interface microscopic simulations to TCAD
