Activities

Organic semiconductors are catalyzing an increasing interest, as they represent an inherently light and mechanically flexible thin film technology. In addition, organic semiconductors, formulated as functional inks, are amenable to be deposited with techniques borrowed from graphic arts (such as inkjet, spray coating, screen printing etc.), with high throughput, low thermal budget, and large area compatibility. The lab deals with the design, development, characterization and modeling of organic optoelectronic devices, and of their integration in innovative optoelectronic systems, such as flexible image sensors.

Service information

The lab can collabarate with industrial partners by setting up consultancy services and/or by co-developing devices and systems in the field of organic and printed electronics.
The group and the laboratory are located at PoliFab, the new centre for micro and nano technologies of Politecnico di Milano (building 30, via Giuseppe Colombo 81).

A PhD candidate working with a state-of-the art inkjet and aerosol jet printer installed at Polifab, employed for the deposition of functional inks and the realization of innovative electronic devices. Array of organic photodetectors realized onto a plastic substrate by means of inkjet printing. The micrograph shows a single device. A PhD candidate is working with a inkjet-aerosol jet printer installed in the clean room of Polifab. Result of the numerical simulation of an organic field effect transistor, showing the carrier distribution as a function of space.
