| Abstract: | We have systematically investigated the influence of UV ozone and acid (HCl) treatments (separate and combined) of the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) on the ITO parameters and the performance of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated on the treated substrates. The ITO substrates were characterized by Hall measurements, Seebeck coefficient measurements and surface-probe microscopy. After ITO characterization, two types of devices (ITO/NPB/rubrene/Alq3/LiF/Al and ITO/TPD/rubrene/Alq3/LiF/Al) were fabricated on the differently treated substrates. It was found that in both cases the optimal treatment was HCl followed by UV ozone, which resulted in the lowest turn-on voltage and the highest luminous efficiency. The maximum luminous efficiency in the ITO/NPB/rubrene/Alq3/LiF/Al OLED with HCl followed by UV ozone treatment was 2.15 lm/W compared to 1.46 lm/W with UV ozone treatment only.
