Main Topic

TPE 08 focuses both on fundamental research and on the technology for manufacture of:

• OFETs & IPCs
• Polymer solar cells, OPV
• OLEDs
• Sensors based on OFETs or photonics.

The objective of TPE 08 will be to discuss in detail various approaches to polymer electronics development and fabrication in connection with

• material problems (functional polymers of industrial relevance, barrier materials, and large area production of thin layers)
• open technological problems / novel approaches
• application fields of plastic electronics
• the market forecasts for it.

Furthermore fundamental problems shall be discussed, like

• Generation of high performance materials including high charge carrier mobility in polymer semiconductor layers
• Air-stable long-life organic semiconductors, also in the presence of moisture, light and heat
• The role of dielectric in achieving low operating voltages in OFETs
• Generation of a tailored morphology in bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells
• Implementation of new concepts
• Multilayer device architectures and integrating multifunctional devices on a single substrate
• Organic memory, organic power source and storage
• Low-cost non-lithographic production of fine electrodes < 10 µm
• Lab-on-chip technologies
• E-papers, electro-chromic displays
• Circuit design and RFID applications
