Polymer electronics - Charge transport at organic-organic heterointerfaces — •Henning Sirringhaus — Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Conjugated polymer semiconductors offer new opportunities for the controlled manufacturing of active electronic circuits by a combination of solution processing and direct printing. We will review current understanding of their device physics with a particular emphasis on understanding the electronic structure of polymer heterointerfaces and charge injection at metal-semiconductor interfaces governing the device performance. Recent advances towards realizing ambipolar organic transistors through control of interface electronic structure will be presented. We will also review recent progress towards manufacturing of organic transistor circuits by high-resolution printing techniques for applications in displays and low-cost intelligent labels.
