Sensitization of the dopant ionization in co-deposited films of organic semiconductors was found. The ionization rate of cesium carbonate (Cs{sub 2}CO{sub 3}), which acts as a donor dopant in single films of metal-free phthalocyanine (H{sub 2}Pc) and fullerene (C{sub 60}), was increased from 10% to 97% in a H{sub 2}Pc:C{sub 60} co-deposited film. A charge separation superlattice model that includes electron transfer from the conduction band of H{sub 2}Pc to that of C{sub 60}, which increases the rate of dopant ionization, is proposed.
