  • Low-voltage, N-channel transistors including a hybrid semiconductor-dielectric material
    Patent number: 8963126
    Abstract: Hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials and electronic or electro-optic devices using the hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials. Hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials comprise molecules that have a core section that provides an n-type semiconducting property and side chains that provide a dielectric property to a layer of hybrid semiconducting-dielectric material. Specific hybrid semiconducting-dielectric materials include tetracarboxylic diimide compounds having sidechains comprising fluorine substituted aliphatic or aromatic moieties linked to the tetracarboxylic diimide structure by an alkylene or heteroalkylene linking group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2015
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Howard Edan Katz, Bhola Nath Pal, Kevin Cua See, Byung Jun Jung
  • DEVICES HAVING HIGH DIELECTRIC CONSTANT, IONICALLY-POLARIZABLE MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20130099211
    Abstract: An electronic or electro-optic device has a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, and a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second electrodes. The dielectric layer has electrically insulating planar layers with intercalated ions therebetween such that the electrically insulating planar layers provide a barrier to impede movement of the intercalated ions to the first and second electrodes under an applied voltage while permitting a polarization of the dielectric layer while in operation.
    Type: Application
