Abstract

Understanding charge injection at a metal/cross-linking epoxy resin (EP) interface facilitates the design and application of high-power electric and electronic devices. This paper focuses on the charge injection barrier at the metal/EP interfaces using first-principles calculation. Two fragmentary structures, obtained from cross-linking EP with amine and anhydride curing agent, were selected to construct interface models on a Cu(111) slab. The injection barrier, dipole moment, charge transfer, and vacuum energy level shift (Δ) at the interfaces were examined. The model with the anhydride groups produced higher electron and hole injection barriers than the interface model with the amine groups. The model with the amine groups had a higher Δ, which was derived from molecule dipole and charge transfer. An increase in the work function and Δ caused by an electric field caused an increase in the electron injection barrier and a decrease in the hole injection barrier. Experimental results of the methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride cross-linking EP showed a higher charge injection than that of m-phenylenediamine cross-linking EP, providing experimental verification of the theoretical calculation.
