(3 units). Ever wondered how cellphone displays work? Does the thought of tattoos that detect your sugar levels or roll-up solar panels interest you? Then you might want to learn about organic electronics. In this course students will learn the design, the fabrication and the operation of emerging printed electronics, flexible electronics and organic electronic technologies such as organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and printed sensors. The course will cover elements of applied organic/polymer chemistry, materials engineering, physical chemistry and applied electronics. Students will touch on topics including molecular-property relationships, thin film processing, charge transport through carbon-based materials, photoexcitation of organic molecules, polymer processing, and how it all applies to emerging thin film technologies. Course Component: Lecture
