CAREER: Design Framework for Organic Transistor Based Integrated Circuits

CCF - 0845605标题：职业生涯：基于有机晶体管的集成电路设计框架PI：Chris H。KimINST：摘要有机场效应晶体管（OFET）由于其独特的特性，近年来引起了人们的广泛关注，这些特性使其对新兴的大面积电子产品如柔性显示面板、有机ID标签和电子纸等具有吸引力，而这些都是传统硅基器件无法实现的。尽管在过去的十年中，OFET性能取得了巨大的进步，但设计界还没有做出任何重大的研究努力来解决与OFET系统相关的挑战。 该项目的目标是为未来的OFET系统开发一个全面的设计框架，其中电路设计知识，器件紧凑模型和设计工具将被开发并集成到OFET工艺设计套件中。研究和教育活动将与明尼苏达大学的有机晶体管小组合作进行。该项目的结构是为了最大限度地扩大对一般科学和工程界的几个部门以及对社会、教育和外联的影响。 拟议的研究将产生原型设计，展示OFET电子学的新创新。主要成果将通过PI的研究网页向公众发布。该项目将积极招募和培养少数民族（非裔美国人，西班牙裔，美国原住民），妇女，代表性不足的群体和K-12组织的成员，以及充分利用现有的大学范围内的多样性，服务和推广工作。将为本科生和研究生课程开发关于OFET电子设计的新课程材料，特别强调培养未来的科学家和工程师在跨学科领域具有创造性解决问题的技能。

CCF - 0845605 Title: CAREER: Design Framework for Organic Transistor Based Integrated CircuitsPI: Chris H. KimINST: University of Minnesota-Twin Cities ABSTRACTOrganic Field-Effect-Transistors (OFET) have recently drawn much attention as their unique attributes make them attractive for emerging large-area electronics such as flexible display panels, organic ID tags, and electronic paper which were not achievable using traditional silicon-based devices. Although the last decade has seen a tremendous progress in OFET performance, there has not been any significant research effort from the design community addressing challenges associated with OFET systems. The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive design framework for future OFET systems in which the circuit design knowledge, device compact models and design tools will be developed and integrated into an OFET process design kit. The research and education activities will be carried out in collaboration with the organic transistor group at the University of Minnesota. This project is structured to maximize the impact on several sections of the general scientific and engineering community, as well as on society, education and outreach. The proposed research will produce prototype designs showcasing new innovations in OFET electronics. Key achievements will be disseminated to the public through the PI's research webpage. This project will proactively recruit and nurture minorities (Afro-Americans, Hispanics, native Americans), women, under-represented groups and members of K-12 organizations, as well as strongly leverage existing university-wide efforts for diversity, service, and outreach. New course materials on OFET electronics design will be developed for undergraduate and graduate curriculum with special emphasis on training future scientists and engineers with creative problem-solving skills in cross-disciplinary areas.
