Applications of Organic Semiconductors to Electronic Devices

Molecular Organic Semiconductors for Electronic Devices

Upscaling Organic Electronic Devices

Conventional electronics based on silicon, germanium, or compounds of gallium require prohibitively expensive investments. A state-of-the-art microprocessor fabrication facility can cost up to $15 billion while using environmentally hazardous processes. In that context, the discovery of solution-processable conducting (and semiconducting) polymers stirred up expectations of ubiquitous electroni...

Liquid crystalline organic semiconductors for organic transistor applications

The recent development of materials for organic field effect transistors (OFETs), including small-molecule and polymer materials, are briefly reviewed, and the problems that remain to be solved prior to practical application and use are discussed. Liquid crystalline materials are good candidates for OFETs because of their advantageous properties over soluble small-molecule materials. Liquid cry...

R&D Prospects of Organic Electronic Devices

OVERVIEW: Organic electronics is of enormous technological interest for its ability to integrate circuits, batteries, sensors, and other functionalities on flexible plastic substrates using solution and printing processes at near room temperature, and a wide range of organic devices are now being actively researched and developed. Recently organic EL displays incorporating OLEDs reached the mar...

Antimonide-based compound semiconductors for electronic devices: A review

Several research groups have been actively pursuing antimonide-based electronic devices in recent years. The advantage of narrowbandgap Sb-based devices over conventional GaAsor InP-based devices is the attainment of high-frequency operation with much lower power consumption. This paper will review the progress on three antimonide-based electronic devices: high electron mobility transistors (HE...
