Abstract
An electronic device can include an organic active layer and an electrode. In one aspect, the electrode can further include a first layer that is conductive, and a second layer that is conductive. The second layer can include a defect extending at least partly through a thickness of the second conductive layer. The electrode can also include a third layer lying within and substantially filling the defect, wherein each of the second and third layers includes a same metallic element. In another aspect, a process for forming an electronic device can include forming an organic active layer and forming a first layer that is conductive and is part of an electrode. The process can also include forming a second layer and exposing the second layer to a first plasma to form a first compound from the second layer.
