  1. Organic Semiconductorand its applications Sara Saedinia University of California, Irvine

  2. Today we will talk about • Organic materials • Advantages • Disadvantages • Applications • Future of organic semiconductor

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

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

  5. Organic Electronic $5 / ft2 Low Capital 10 ft x Roll to Roll Flexible Plastic Substrate Ambient Processing Continuous Direct Printing Silicon $100 / ft2 $1-$10 billion < 1m2 Rigid Glass or Metal Ultra Cleanroom Multi-step Photolithography Cost Fabrication Cost Device Size Material Required Conditions Process Why Organic?Comparison Example

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

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

  8. Applications • Displays: • (OLED) Organic Light Emitting Diodes • RFID : • Organic Nano-Radio Frequency Identification Devices • Solar cells • Displays: • (OLED) Organic Light Emitting Diodes • RFID : • Organic Nano-Radio Frequency Identification Devices • Solar cells

  9. Displays (OLED) • 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. • Brighter displays • Thinner displays • More flexible

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

  11. RFIDbenefits • Quicker Checkout • Improved Inventory Control • Reduced Waste • Efficient flow of goods from manufacturer to consumer

  12. Solar Cells • The light falls on the polymer • Electron/hole is generated • The electron is captured C60 • The electricity is passed by the nanotube

  13. Future of Organic Semiconductor • Smart Textiles • Lab on a chip • Portable compact screens • Skin Cancer treatment
