- exemplify specific organic electronics materials, their properties, and applications
- summarize the optical properties and applications of organic electronic materials, such as in displays and photovoltaic systems
- exemplify the architecture, characterization, and utilization of electronic components based on organic electronic materials (such as conductors,resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors)
- determine fundamental parameters for the above mentioned components, and explain how these parameters influence the performance of the components
- summarize the electrochemical properties of organic electronic materials, and their applications in devices and systems
- explain and motivate the use of organic electronic materials in biological applications
- summarize device fabrication techniques, especially related to �?oprinted electronics�?�
- compare commercial applications for organic electronics, and summarize the current market.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic skills in modern physics (primarily solid state physics), mathematics and electronics. Basic chemistry is useful but not a formal requirement. TNE024 Molecular Physics is recommended, especially for students who also intend to follow Organic Electronics 2.
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.

Course contents:
Course lectures will cover topics such as: introduction to organic electronic materials and their basic properties; charge transport and energy structure of organic electronics; case-studies on specific materials used in current research; optical properties (energy levels, color changes, light emission and absorption); organic electronic circuit components (conductors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors); electrochemistry of organic electronic materials, and applications of redox properties; organic bioelectronics (motivation, applications in neuroscience and plant biology); printed electronics (methods, inks, applications); organic electronics photovoltaics (measurement techniques, solar cells); an overview of current applications and commercialization (cost, implementation, environmental consideration).
The discussion sessions (lektioner) will cover the topics above, in a more open discussion format.
The two laboratory exercises, in the Täppan Cleanroom Laboratory and the Printed Electronics Arena, will provide hands-on experience of fabrication and characterization of organic electronics.
