Symposium BB-Innovative Fabrication and Processing Methods for Organic and Hybrid Electronics

Fabrication methods of organic electronics can be generally divided into solution processing and vapor processing. Solution based methods at the laboratory scale are typically spin coating and doctor blading. For vapor deposition, the most common approaches are thermal evaporation and chemical vapor phase deposition . These methods have been widely adapted for processing organic devices including solar cells, light emitting diodes and transistors.

Recently, a number of novel processing approaches have been developed that act to enhance device performance, gain insight into device and material physics, and improve compatibility with scalable low-cost manufacturing. These newly developed processing methods allow one to dictate the morphology of the organic electronic active layers with unprecedented ability, providing better understanding of material and device properties. This symposium will explore organic electronic device physics and applications enabled by novel processing methods and techniques for large area device integration. The symposium will cover various organic devices including solar cells, transistors, temperature/bio sensors and etc. The symposium will consider a range of organic and organic/inorganic hybrid material systems and their associated processing and device performance.

The meeting will provide a forum for interaction among university and industry, researchers and practitioners, representing different perspectives across the value chain. The discussion will focus on the new paradigms for small molecule and polymer semiconductor processing methods emerging from research laboratories, as well as the continuous improvements to more traditional printing techniques and their intersection with electronics and optics. This symposium will assist in accelerating the adaption of processing methods between universities and industry.
