Organic Semiconductor (elect. ) vs. Inorganic n n Silicon based inorganic material Covalently bonded crystals Polymer based organic material n. Van der Waals bonded crystals n

Why Organic? Advantages n Organic electronics are lighter, more flexible n Low-Cost Electronics q

Why Organic? Advantages n Organic electronics are lighter, more flexible n Low-Cost Electronics q No vacuum processing q No lithography (printing) q Low-cost substrates (plastic, paper, even cloth…) q Direct integration on package (lower insertion costs)

Why Organic? Comparison Example Organic Electronic Silicon Cost $5 / ft 2 $100 /

Why Organic? Comparison Example Organic Electronic Silicon Cost $5 / ft 2 $100 / ft 2 Fabrication Cost Low Capital $1 -$10 billion Device Size 10 ft x Roll to Roll < 1 m 2 Material Flexible Plastic Substrate Rigid Glass or Metal Required Conditions Ambient Processing Ultra Cleanroom Process Continuous Direct Printing Multi-step Photolithography

Why Organic? Advantages n They are also biodegradable (being made from carbon). n This

Why Organic? Advantages n They are also biodegradable (being made from carbon). n This opens the door to many exciting and advanced new applications that would be impossible using copper or silicon.

Why not Organic? Disadvantages n Conductive polymers have high resistance and therefore are not

Why not Organic? Disadvantages n Conductive polymers have high resistance and therefore are not good conductors of electricity. n Because of poor electronic behavior (lower mobility), they have much smaller bandwidths. n Shorter lifetimes and are much more dependant on stable environment conditions than inorganic electronics would be.

Applications n Displays: q n RFID : q n (OLED) Organic Light Emitting Diodes

Applications n Displays: q n RFID : q n (OLED) Organic Light Emitting Diodes Organic Nano-Radio Frequency Identification Devices Solar cells

Displays (OLED) n One of the biggest applications of organic transistors right now. Organic

Displays (OLED) n One of the biggest applications of organic transistors right now. Organic TFTs may be used to drive LCDs and potentially even OLEDs, allowing integration of entire displays on plastic. n n n Brighter displays Thinner displays More flexible

RFID n Passive RF Devices that talk to the outside world … so there

RFID n Passive RF Devices that talk to the outside world … so there will be no need for scanners.

RFID benefits n Quicker Checkout n Improved Inventory Control n Reduced Waste n Efficient

RFID benefits n Quicker Checkout n Improved Inventory Control n Reduced Waste n Efficient flow of goods from manufacturer to consumer

Solar Cells n The light falls on the polymer n Electron/hole is generated n
