This award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program to Kent State University supports the acquisition of a glove box system for an organic semiconductor processing and characterization facility. Organic semiconductors will play a central role in a variety of scientifically and technically important processes and devices including xerography, light emitting diodes, photovoltaics, thin film transistors and photorefractive media. The physical properties of these organic and organic-inorganic hybrid materials often differ significantly from those of the well known inorganic semiconductors. In order to understand the basic physical properties of these organic materials a facility for purification, deposition and device fabrication with time of flight and microwave conductivity/mobility analytical capabilities is being assembled. This facility will permit the creation of device structures from novel materials in a highly controlled environment so that the intrinsic properties can accurately and reproducibly be examined. The facility will be ideal for student training as it provides a highly interdisciplinaryThis award from the Major Research Instrumentation Program to Kent State University supports the acquisition of a glove box system for an organic semiconductor processing and characterization facility. Organic semiconductors present major and largely unexplored opportunities for the improvement of a variety of electronic devices. To exploit these materials a sophisticated facility comprised of several components for the characterization of novel materials and systems based on organic molecules is being assembled. A glove box with an integrated and highly versatile thin-film deposition system will provide a clean environment for material purification and device (e.g., field effect transistor) fabrication. These novel systems will then be evaluated using state-of-the art electronics and optical characterization tools including tunable laser sources, microwave conductivity instrumentation and a powerful temperature-dependent x-ray diffractometer for structural determination. These facilities will provide a rich interdisciplinary training environment for students and post-doctoral researchers.

该奖项由主要研究仪器计划授予肯特州立大学，支持为有机半导体加工和表征设施收购手套箱系统。有机半导体将在包括静电复印、发光二极管、光致发光器件、薄膜晶体管和光致折射介质在内的各种重要的科学和技术工艺和设备中发挥核心作用。这些有机和有机-无机杂化材料的物理性质通常与公知的无机半导体的物理性质显著不同。为了了解这些有机材料的基本物理特性，正在组装一种具有飞行时间和微波传导率/迁移率分析能力的纯化、沉积和器件制造设施。该设施将允许在高度受控的环境中从新材料中创建器件结构，以便可以准确和可重复地检查固有特性。该设施将是理想的学生培训，因为它提供了一个高度跨学科的这个奖项从主要研究仪器计划肯特州立大学支持收购手套箱系统的有机半导体加工和表征设施。有机半导体为各种电子器件的改进提供了主要的和很大程度上未开发的机会。为了利用这些材料，正在组装一个由几个组件组成的复杂设施，用于表征基于有机分子的新材料和系统。具有集成的和高度通用的薄膜沉积系统的手套箱将为材料纯化和器件（例如，场效应晶体管）制造。 这些新的系统，然后将使用最先进的电子和光学表征工具，包括可调谐激光源，微波电导率仪器和一个强大的温度依赖性X射线衍射仪进行结构测定进行评估。 这些设施将为学生和博士后研究人员提供丰富的跨学科培训环境。
