Since electrochemical doping can significantly improve the performance of organic devices, the understanding of the fundamental properties of doped thin films is crucial. For a variety of different material systems a very low doping efficiency was observed, although from energetical considerations a very efficient charge transfer is expected. Using bright-field TEM and electron tomography we show for MoO₃-doped CBP ((4,4’-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1’-biphenyl) thin films that this low doping efficiency is due to filament-like dopant agglomeration which can be controlled by changing the substrate temperature during the evaporation process [1]. The observed morphology is finally correlated with electrical properties like charge carrier density and mobility and depending on the dopant concentration an anisotropic charge transport is observed.
