Fabrication, characterization and physical model-based analysis of organic transistors

In the last few years, alongside the ever-increasing integration of silicon transistors, there has been a growing interest in novel types of transistors that utilize new materials (e.g. organic compounds) and can be built with innovative fabrication techniques (e.g. printing). These devices have disclosed new opportunities in flexible, recyclable, implantable, large-area electronic fields and have shown remarkable performances in bioelectronics, enabling, for instance, unprecedent sensitivity in detecting ions and biomarkers. Alongside, these innovative devices arise intriguing challenges and phenomena that require investigation and modelling to understand their fundamental mechanisms, allowing effective simulation-based engineering that can overcome current limitations and enhance performance by acting on device structure, materials, and manufacturing methods. This knowledge will also pave the way for an efficient, highly customizable, simulation-driven building of circuits and systems with enhanced performances and novel features in the field of emerging electronic and bioelectronic (e.g. in-liquid artificial neuron).
