  • Patent number: 7772079
    Abstract: A vertical organic transistor and a method for fabricating the same are provided, wherein an emitter, a grid with openings and a collector are sequentially arranged above a substrate. Two organic semiconductor layers are interposed respectively between the emitter and the grid with openings and between the grid with openings and the collector. The channel length is simply decided by the thickness of the organic semiconductor layers. The collector current depends on the space-charge-limited current contributed by the potential difference between the emitter and the openings of the grid. And the grid voltage can thus effectively control the collector current. Further, the fabrication process of the vertical organic transistor of the present invention is simple and exempt from using the photolithographic process.

  • Publication number: 20100021622
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for forming multilayer polymer thin film. The method uses a solution container with a gap to prevent the huge amount of solution from directly falling on the first layer. Then the wet film is formed by moving the container with the thin film thickness is decided by the distance between the gap and the substrate. The wet film is dried in a very short time by the heater therefore there is no time for the second solvent to dissolve the first layer. The method can effectively achieve the large-area and multilayer structure in organic devices through solution processing.
