Solution Processing of Inorganic Materials

herausgegeben von David Mitzi
Discover the materials set to revolutionize the electronicsindustry
The search for electronic materials that can be cheaplysolution-processed into films, while simultaneously providingquality device characteristics, represents a major challenge formaterials scientists. Continuous semiconducting thin films withlarge carrier mobilities are particularly desirable for high-speedmicroelectronic applications, potentially providing newopportunities for the development of low-cost, large-area, flexiblecomputing devices, displays, sensors, and solar cells.
To date, the majority of solution-processing research hasfocused on molecular and polymeric organic films. In contrast, thisbook reviews recent achievements in the search forsolution-processed inorganic semiconductors and other criticalelectronic components. These components offer the potential forbetter performance and more robust thermal and mechanical stabilitythan comparable organic-based systems.
Solution Processing of Inorganic Materials covers everythingfrom the more traditional fields of sol-gel processing and chemicalbath deposition to the cutting-edge use of nanomaterials inthin-film deposition. In particular, the book focuses on materialsand techniques that are compatible with high-throughput, low-cost, and low-temperature deposition processes such as spin coating, dipcoating, printing, and stamping. Throughout the text, illustrationsand examples of applications are provided to help the reader fullyappreciate the concepts and opportunities involved in this excitingfield.
In addition to presenting the state-of-the-art research, thebook offers extensive background material. As a result, anyresearcher involved or interested in electronic device fabricationcan turn to this book to become fully versed in thesolution-processed inorganic materials that are set torevolutionize the electronics industry.
