Objectives of the Course Comprehending the historical development of organic electronics and the fundamentals and working principles of electro-active materials and devices in the guidance of the existing scientific literature.
Interpreting the design and key working principles of molecular and polymeric semiconductors, dielectrics, substrates, emissive materials, and charge-transport interlayers within the context of OFET, OLED, OLET, and OPV device fabrications and characterizations.
Investigating and understanding the challenges and opportunities of electro-active materials in OFET, OLED, OLET, and OPV devices.
Criticizing the existing organic electronics approaches and discussing plausible future directions to address key technological and global issues.
Course Content Course focuses on the historical development of organic electronics and the fundamentals and working principles of electro-active materials and devices in the guidance of the existing scientific literature. The design and development strategies on molecular and polymeric semiconductors, dielectrics, substrates, emissive materials, and charge-transport interlayers are especially discussed within the context of OFET, OLED, OLET, and OPV device fabrications and characterizations. In the special topic module, students research and discuss a new material or a device/processing approach in organic electronics from the top-tier scientific journals. Course provides the essential skills to design next-generation electro-active materials and devices for organic electronics.
