Symposium EL03-Organic Electronic Devices—Charge Transport and Applications

Organic electronics offer a unique combination of device properties, due to their mechanical flexibility, enhanced biocompatibility, mixed ionic/electronic conduction, tunability of the materials as well as device structure and versatility in processing. Thanks to a tremendous cross-disciplinary research effort, high-performance transistors, sensors with remarkable sensitivity, biomimic devices and arrays of stretchable transistors and integrated circuits have been realized and will continue improving.
A better understanding of device performance, charge transport and charge carrier- ion interaction as well as the development of new materials and device architectures has been and will be strongly connected with improved performance, better operational and long-term stability, reduced power consumption, improved mechanical compatibility as well as enhanced sensitivity of sensors and novel functionality such as anti-ambipolar behavior. Hence this symposium aims to bring together experts from diverse backgrounds including synthesis, material characterization, charge transport and device characterization as well as memory, healthcare, biomimic and sensing applications based on organic electronic devices to foster discussions on the latest developments and future requirements and challenges of organic and hybrid electronic devices and their applications.

Topics will include:

Charge/ion transport, charge trapping
Device operation and characterization; Device stability
Design and synthesis of new materials
Structure-property relationships
Electrochemical transistors; OFETs, electrolyte gated transistors, phototransistors
Applications in e.g. healthcare, photodetectors, memory and biomimic devices
Wearable, conformable and stretchable devices
Green processing and transient, biodegradable electronics
Spectroscopy and in situ/in operando characterization
