CHE 566 - ORGANIC MATERIALS: CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVICES

College of Arts & Sciences

Credit(s): 3

A study of applications of organic materials in electronic and optical devices, focusing on appropriate material-selection, processing, and interpretation of device output. Will cover basic methods for the formation of thin films of organic molecules and polymers, various spectroscopic techniques relevant to device performance, and methods to form and measure devices such as transistors and light-emitting diodes. Hybrid organic-inorganic material systems, and complex device structures for all-organic circuitry will be discussed.

Prereq: CHE 232 and PHY 213 or PHY 232, or permission of the instructor.
