Organic semiconductors can be processed using solution printing or low-temperature evaporation and offer a high degree of functional tunability and mechanical flexibility. Our group tests new organic molecules, studies their film properties, and builds a range of devices that can maximize their unique potential.
In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) and its subcomponents have received increasing attention due to their optical transparency and high electron mobility in the amorphous phase. We study the oxide films prepared by sputtering or sol-gel synthesis focusing on their charge transport properties in thin-film transistor architecture.
We also study two-dimensional crystals such as graphene and zero-dimensional materials such as metal nanoparticles. These nanomaterials are used as an alternative to bulk metals or to create functional interfaces that modulate the charge injection or trapping at the semiconductor in contact with them.
