Diemer, Peter James 2016-05-21T08:35:35Z 2018-05-20T08:30:12Z 2016 https://wakespace.lib.wfu.edu/handle/10339/59273 In a field dominated by inorganic semiconductors, carbon-based materials are emerging as possible replacements for devices where a moderate performance is acceptable, with many desirable traits that make them better suited in certain applications. Specifically, many organic semiconductors can be processed at room temperature and ambient pressure instead of the high temperature and vacuum as required by polycrystalline silicon. This property has two main advantages: 1) Cuts production cost since the expense of the high-temperature/vacuum equipment is no longer necessary and 2) Broader range of substrates on which the semiconductors can be deposited, such as paper, fabric, and plastic, that would otherwise be destroyed by the heat of inorganic deposition. Current rigid and fragile electronic devices could be supplanted by more robust and flexible organic-based substitutes while reducing fabrication costs. en Wake Forest University bandgap states field-effect transistors Organic electronics organic semiconductors thin-film Reduction of Electronic Traps in Organic Semiconductors by Novel Processing Methods Dissertation Jurchescu, Oana D Carlson, Eric D Holzwarth, Natalie A.W.
