A thin-film transistor (TFT), includes: a substrate (); an organic semiconductor (OSC) layer () positioned on the substrate; a dielectric layer () positioned on the OSC layer; and a polymeric interlayer () disposed in-between the OSC layer and the dielectric layer, such that the dielectric layer is configured to exhibit a double layer capacitance effect. A method of forming a thin-film transistor, includes: providing a substrate; providing a bottom gate layer atop the substrate; disposing consecutively from the substrate, an organic semiconductor (OSC) layer, a dielectric layer, and a top gate layer; and patterning the OSC layer, the dielectric layer, and the top gate layer using a single mask.

Low-voltage operation dual-gate organic thin-film transistors and methods of manufacturing thereof

Devices include a substrate, a collector layer, and an emitter layer positively biased relative to the collector. Devices further include a semiconductor layer located between the collector and the emitter. The semiconductor layer includes an organic semiconductor polymer with a donor-acceptor structure.

High current OTFT devices with vertical designed structure and donor-acceptor based organic semiconductor materials

Described herein are electronics that incorporate heterocyclic organic compounds. More specifically, described herein are organic electronics systems that are combined with donor-acceptor organic semiconductors, along with methods for making such devices, and uses thereof.

The THz waveguides disclosed herein are used to transmit signals having a THz frequency in the range from 0.1 THz to 10 THz and include an alumina core surrounded by an optional cladding. The core may have a diameter (D1) in the range from 10 &#x3bc;m to 500 &#x3bc;m and may be comprised of a ceramic ribbon having a dielectric constant (Dk). The optional cladding may have a dielectric constant (Dk) less than the core. The THz waveguides can be formed using a continuous firing process and nano-perforation technology that enables access to a wide form factor range. In one example, rectangular waveguides, or ribbons, may be fabricated in the 10 &#x3bc;m to 200 &#x3bc;m thick range at widths in the range from sub-millimeters to several meters and lengths in the range from millimeters to several hundred meters.

A method of fabricating microstructures of polar elastomers includes coating a substrate with a dielectric material including a polar elastomer, coating the dielectric material with a photoresist, exposing the photoresist to ultraviolet (UV) light through a photomask to define a pattern on the photoresist, developing the photoresist to form the pattern on the photoresist, etching the dielectric material to transfer the pattern from the photoresist to the dielectric material, and removing the photoresist from the patterned dielectric material.

Polar elastomer microstructures and methods for fabricating same

Disclosed is a polymer blend comprising an organic semiconductor (OSC) polymer blended with an isolating polymer and method for making the same. The OSC polymer includes a diketopyrrolopyrrole fused thiophene polymeric material, and the fused thiophene is beta-substituted. The isolating polymer includes a non-conjugated backbone, and the isolating polymer may be one of polyacrylonitrile, alkyl substituted polyacrylonitrile, polystyrene, polysulfonate, polycarbonate, an elastomer block copolymer, derivatives thereof, copolymers thereof and mixtures thereof.

Doping of other polymers into organic semi-conducting polymers

A camera module includes an image sensor, a lens assembly, and a mechanical actuator. The lens assembly is positioned to focus an image on the image sensor and includes a variable focus lens. The mechanical actuator causes relative translation between the lens assembly and the image sensor in each of an X-direction parallel to a first lateral axis and a Y-direction parallel to a second lateral axis. The first lateral axis is substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens assembly, and the second lateral axis substantially perpendicular to each of the optical axis and the first lateral axis. The lens assembly is fixed relative to the image sensor in each of a first rotational direction about the first lateral axis and a second rotational direction about the second lateral axis.
