Overview

Semiconductors based on inorganic silicon and gallium arsenide have been the backbone of the electronic and optoelectronic industries for the last four decades. For the future, however, competitive electronic manufacturing which depends on the development as well as integration of novel and cost effective materials technology and devices is needed for tomorrow’s applications. This symposium provides a forum for discussions related to the physics, chemistry, materials science, fabrication and applications of conjugated organic materials and their devices.

Topics

  • Design and synthesis of novel conjugated molecular materials
  • Conjugated organic devices including transistors, light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, memories, sensors and photovoltaic cells
  • Fabrication and characterization of molecular circuits and performances
  • Novel device architectures and fabrication methodologies
  • Surfaces, interface and defect characterization and device physics
  • Theoretical developments
  • Materials patterning, large area processing
