Electronic Materials and Devices

The course introduces the optical and electronic processes in electronic materials, including inorganic, organic and hybrid, that govern the behavior of practical solid-state optoelectronic devices. We begin with an overview of fundamental science of electronic materials and devices. We then discuss their optoelectronic properties, including topics from photophysics, charge transport and injection. Emphasis will be equally placed on the use of both inorganic and organic electronic materials in organic electronic devices including LEDs, solar cells, photodetectors, transistors, and so on. The material preparing process and device fabrication techniques will also be introduced. Permission of instructor for students lacking prerequisite.
