Heiko Kempa

The impressive development of organic conductors and semiconductors within the last decades has been triggered to a large extent by the vision of introducing novel methods for the preparation of electronic devices which are based on the possibility to process the organic materials from a liquid state. Thereby, a great reduction of the fabrication effort is envisioned. Especially conventional rotary printing techniques have attracted large interest in this context due to their enormous edge in terms of productivity compared to virtually all concurring methods. These so-called mass printing methods are widely considered to be the enabling technology which will turn the vision of a low-cost plastic electronics into reality. The seminar will give an overview of various aspects of printed electronics including materials, devices and methods with a focus on mass-printing technology.
