Inorganic Semiconductors The basic ingredient for all high technology devices and products The advantages fast relatively dependable versatile technology is in place they work! The disadvantages costly very difficult to process (UHV equipment and photolithography) some compound SCs have horrible environmental profile (e.g. GaAs) limited stock of some delicate & no mechanical flexibility 5
The Soft Age (1977 to.?) A revolution in functional materials for high technology? The 2000 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded for the discovery of metal -like electrical conductivity in iodine-doped polyacetylene Prior to this discovery (Shirakawa, Heeger, MacDairmid), it was thought that organic polymers could not conduct electricity in the solid state The Soft Age was born 6

Light-Emitting Polymers A polymer needs to show fluorescence and to conduct electricity Light Emitting Polymers Convert Electric power into visible light to be a light emitting polymer 19
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) OLED do not have a backlight unlike liquid crystal display (LCD). OLED create light by the following process: A battery or power supply sends a voltage through the OLED. An electrical current flows from the cathode to the organic layer and anode. As explained earlier, the anode removes electrons and adds electron holes in the conductive layer. Between the organic layers is where electrons fill the holes and give off energy in the form of photon light. 14

Organic Thin-Film Transistors (OTFTs) Organic transistors are transistors that use organic molecules rather than silicon for their active material. This active material can be composed of a wide variety of molecules. P3HT Advantages compatibility with plastic substances lower temperature manufacturing (60-120 C) lower-cost deposition processes such as spincoating, printing, evaporation less need to worry about dangling bonds makes for simpler processing Disadvantages lower mobility and switching speeds compared to silicon wafers usually do not operate under inversion mode (more on this later) [ Organic FET ] 24
