Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Stanford researchers have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have invented a novel semiconducting material containing siloxane-containing side chains. This material demonstrates high charge carrier mobility, as well as air and operational stability in field effect transistor devices.
