講演題目：Printing of ploymer field-effect transistors

講師：Professor Henning Sirringhaus
(Hitachi Professor of Electron Device Physics Microelectronics Research Centre, Cavendish Laboratory University of Cambridge)

講演概要：
Polymer transistor circuits offer new opportunities for the controlled manufacturing of active electronic circuits by a combination of solution processing and direct printing. Control over the morphology of the polymer semiconductor is obtained by making use of self-organisation mechanisms, such as liquid-crystalline phase behaviour. Accurate definition of the transistor channel and other circuit components can be achieved by high resolution printing techniques such as surface energy-assisted inkjet printing. We will discuss recent progress towards new architectures for both planar-channel and vertical-channel polymer transistors with submicrometer channel length, the use of thin, self-assembled polymer dielectrics as well as current understanding of charge transport and charge injection in polymer field-effect devices. We will also give an overview over applications of printed transistor circuits, such as active matrix displays.

４月３０日（金）にケンブリッジ大学のHenning Sirringhaus教授が東工大を訪問されることになりました。Sirringhaus教授は、Haroon Ahmed教授の後任として、この春からCavendish研究所マイクロエレクトロニクス研究センター長に就任された先生です。

つきましては、この機会に、量子ナノエレクトロニクスセミナーとしてSirringhaus先生の御講演を以下の要領にて開催いたします。皆様のご参加をどうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。
