Organic electronics : devices, circuits and applications
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Organic materials have brought exciting opportunities for flexible, light weight, low cost, and disposable electronics. However, there are still several technical challenges for the wide spread of this technology. In this dissertation, I discuss about the challenges and the improvements of organic electronics. In the first part, I explore device engineering for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). New device architecture and fabrication methods to improve the OTFT characteristics are proposed. Short channel and self-aligned OTFTs are implemented on a non-planer substrate. The self-aligned structure enables accurate alignment between the electrodes with a pre-defined prism-structure dimension, thus reducing parasitic overlap capacitance. In the second part, circuit engineering based on OTFTs is studied. An OTFT circuit design methodology is proposed to enable accurate analysis and verification in the design stage. Various topologies of digital circuits such as complimentary and unipolar OTFT circuits based on this design methodology are demonstrated. The third part focuses on application engineering, specifically on the implementation of disposable and flexible organic electronic sensors. Wireless temperature sensor based on conductive filled polymer is demonstrated. The stability and reproducibility is improved and the sensitive temperature can be tuned by employing a binary polymer system.
