Talk on Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs)

The IEEE MTT/AP/EDS Penang Chapter is very pleased to bring you a talk on "Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs)" by Dr. Kean C. Aw of the University of Auckland. Dr. Aw's main expertise is in semiconductor devices & materials. His current research is in the development of thin film transistors, sensors and actuators using amorphous oxide semiconductor and polymeric electronic materials such as ZnO, polypyyrole, polythiophene, polyanilene, etc. He has over 30 published papers in Technical Journals and Conferences.

Polymer Electronics

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on solution-processible polymeric materials have shown impressive improvements in their performance during recent years. These devices have been developed to realize low-cost, large-area electronic products. This presentation provides an overview of what is polymer electronics and also the research work performed at the Faculty of Engineering and The University of Auckland, NZ.

Several research topics covering the development of OFET's non-volatile memory incorporating ZnO, polyaniline(PANI) nanotubes field-effect transistor as gate controllable diodes and newly synthesized functionalized polythiophene as OFET deposited using electropolymerization technique for DNA sensing will be discussed.
