Summary on Grant Application Form |

Organic electronics has the potential to replace conventional inorganic semiconductor technology in simple, low cost, low performance, high volume devices. Commercial production of organic electronic circuits is now being addressed by a number of multinational companies (Philips, Siemens, Lucent Technologies, Avecia and others) and small R&D-based venture capital companies (e.g. Plastic Logic). To date these efforts have resulted in higher integration density in all-plastic integrated circuits and the development of new processing techniques, such as thermal transfer or ink-jet printing, for organic circuits. However, there is considerable room for improvement in the materials development and the processing of materials for use in organic electronics. The work described in this proposal aims to accelerate the discovery and testing of new organic semiconductors, particularly targeting new air stable, n-type organic semiconductors. New materials and novel parallel characterisation/testing equipment will be developed to evaluate structure-property relationships in a diverse range of oligomeric organic semiconductors that carry fluorinated side groups.
