Valid for year : 2007
 
TNE079 Manufacturing of Organic Electronics, 6 ECTS credits.
/Produktion av organisk elektronik/

For:   ED   MES  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Physics
  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course shall provide knowledge about production of organic electronics components. Special emphasis is placed on large area flexible electronics such as paper electronics. After completing this course, students should be able to:
  • Predict the solubility of polymers, how it affects processability and how it is affected by chemical modifications to the polymer or solvents
  • Explain the concept of viscosity and its effects on various coating and printing processes
  • Give examples of advantages of solution processing over the traditional processing used to manufacture components based on Si
  • Give examples of, and design, applications of organic electronics, particularly such ones that can compete with Si-based devices such as transistors, sensors, displays and biological applications


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Modern Physics, Semiconductor Technology and Organic Electronics,

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Organisation:
The course contains lectures and laboratory work.
Course contents:
  • Solubility, wetting and rheology of electronic ink (polymer solutions).
  • Film formation: solution-based, electrochemical, vacuum sublimation.
  • Basic print- and patterning technology: ink-jet, screen, flexo and off-set printing; soft lithography; self-organization.
  • Metal contacting, organic multilayers.
  • General limitations and requirements for organic electronics in terms of clean room and vacuum processing.
  • Electronic paper: materials, components, specific production requirements and process steps.
