In this study, pairs of the organosilicon/silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) barrier structures with an ultralow water vapor transmittance rate (WVTR) were consecutively prepared by the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at a low temperature of 70 °C using the tetramethylsilane (TMS) monomer and the TMS-oxygen-ammonia gas mixture, respectively. The thickness of the SiOxNy film in the barrier structure was firstly designed by optimizing its effective permeability. The WVTR was further decreased by inserting an adequate thickness of the organosilicon layer as the stress residing in the barrier structure was released accordingly. By prolonging the diffusion pathway for water vapor permeation, three-paired organosilicon/SiOxNy multilayered barrier structure with a WVTR of about 10−5 g/m2/day was achievable for meeting the requirement of the thin film encapsulation on the organic light emitting diode.

Silicon oxynitride films were deposited in very-high-frequency (40.68 MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD), and subsequently annealed between 400 and 1200°C in N2 ambient. The effect of annealing temperature on the PL characteristics of the samples was investigated. The experimental results reveal that a broad PL peak around 430 nm (2.88eV) appears in all of the samples. The maximum intensity of this broad PL peak was obtained in the sample annealed at 400°C. The PL characteristics of the annealed samples were discussed.
