NST Colloquium
Abstract: This lecture focuses on the challenging of designing, realizing, characterizing, hybridizing, and understanding new, dissimilar materials families for unconventional electronics. Fabrication methodologies to achieve these goals will ultimately include high-throughput, large-area, high-resolution printing and coating techniques. Materials design topics discussed include
- Rationally designed high-mobility p- and n-type soft matter semiconductors for organic CMOS
- Self-assembled and reconfigurable high-k dielectrics enabling ultralarge capacitance, low- leakage, high-breakdown fields, minimal trapped interfacial charge, and radiation hardness
- Polycrystalline and amorphous oxide semiconductors for printable, transparent, and mechanically flexible electronics
- Hybrid organic + inorganic semiconductors for high carrier mobility, optical transparency, and mechanical flexibility
- Combining these materials sets to rapidly fabricate scalable, flexible thin-film transistor and photovoltaic devices
