Organic Field Effect Transistors - (Integrated Circuits and Systems) by Ioannis Kymissis (Hardcover)

About the Book

As a basic introduction to the subject for practitioners, this text will also be of interest to researchers looking for references that are not part of their subject area, focusing on materials and techniques useful for making integrated circuits.

Book Synopsis

Organic Field Effect Transistors presents the state of the art in organic field effect transistors (OFETs), with a particular focus on the materials and techniques useful for making integrated circuits. The monograph begins with some general background on organic semiconductors, discusses the types of organic semiconductor materials suitable for making field effect transistors, the fabrication processes used to make integrated Circuits, and appropriate methods for measurement and modeling.

Organic Field Effect Transistors is written as a basic introduction to the subject for practitioners. It will also be of interest to researchers looking for references and techniques that are not part of their subject area or routine. A synthetic organic chemist, for example, who is interested in making OFETs may use the book more as a device design and characterization reference. A thin film processing electrical engineer, on the other hand, may be interested in the book to learn about what types of electron carrying organic semiconductors may be worth trying and learning more about organic semiconductor physics.

From the Back Cover

Organic Field Effect Transistors discusses the fundamental mechanisms that apply to OFETs fabrication, operation, and characterization. This unique book presents the state-of-the-art in organic field effect transistors (OFETs) with a particular focus on the materials and techniques useful for making integrated circuits. It also addresses many of the practical issues associated with OFET fabrication, characterization, modeling, and integration with other devices.

Topics covered include:

• Chemical physics of organic semiconductor operation
• Major classes of OFET materials
• Basic processing of OFETs
• Modeling and device characterization

The text contains significant material which provides practical advice for both beginning and experienced researchers in OFETs. Special features of Organic Field Effect Transistors include detailed laboratory procedures in chapters three and four, recipes and mask design guidance in the appendicies, and an extensive analysis of both traditional and emerging electrical characterization procedures in chapter six.

With research in organic semiconductors overlapping with material science, chemistry and electrical engineering Organic Field Effect Transistors is a valuable reference that provides a standard language to unify the field.
