Organic electronics films of the future
Thursday, 19 September, 2002
The UA Optical Sciences Center is using a deposition machine to make organic films such as radio frequency (RF) grocery tags that require no scanning. The machine deposits thin layers 10-100 nanometres thick of organic molecules onto a plastic substrate.
Organic-electronics could eventually provide low-cost alternatives to current silicon-based microelectronics in manufacturing applications. Other applications may include photovoltaic cells and light-emitting organic displays.
