TEKNIK ELEKTRONIKA

on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 15:00 Central European Time (CET). A novel and unconventional technology that has the potential to change the world of electronics, printed and organic electronics offers the opportunity to manufacture low-cost electronic solutions that are not compatible with today’s standard inorganic electronics. To achieve this potential, making accurate measurements on fabricated devices and printable inks will be essential in fully understanding the electrical properties and operational characteristics of materials and devices. Knowing how to reduce various sources of measurement errors will be critical to success.

 

In this seminar, senior Keithley scientific research expert Jonathan Tucker will present methods and best measurement practices for electrically characterizing printed and organic electronics and materials. He will also discuss some practical application examples where such measurement principles are required.

 

Seminar participants will learn and understand:

Measurement techniques required for measuring the conductivity of printable e-inks and I-V characteristics of organic electronics

Sources of measurement error that will affect such measurements

Measurement solutions that can be used in printed and organic electronics measurement applications

 

This seminar is recommended for students, researchers, engineers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, nanoscience, and organic/semiconductor device development who wish to get a better understanding of basic electrical measurements.

Although organic materials have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of high-tech products, such as computer displays and solar cells, they lack the well-ordered chemical structures of organic materials, so this potential is difficult to put into practice. However, a team of researchers led by Dr Dmitrii Perepichka (McGill University, Canada) and Dr Federico Rosei (Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Canada) recently published research that offers a solution to this problem. The team has effectively discovered a way to order the molecules in PEDOT, a conducting polymer with high industrial significance.

Although Dr Perepichka stressed that the research is not directly applicable to current commercial products, he commented:
