Semiconductors: Interface Design Principles for High‐Performance Organic Semiconductor Devices (Adv. Sci. 6/2015)

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS

During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...

Electronic Properties of Organic Semiconductor/Electrode Interfaces: The Influence of Contact Contaminations on the Interface Energetic

During the last decades there has been considerable progress as regards the understanding of OSC/electrode interfaces. In this Review, we summarize recent work on the interface energetics influenced by the presence of electrode surface contamination due to the used ex-situ cleaning procedure prior the interface formation. Contact contaminations of the electrodes essentially affect the interface...

An electrode design rule for high performance top-illuminated organic photovoltaics

An electrode design rule for high performance top-illuminated bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics is proposed, that enables the device architecture to be simplified by removing the need for the electron selective layer at the interface with the low work function reflective electrode. This new guideline for electrode design is underpinned by device studies in conjunction with a study of th...

Band alignment at metal/organic and metal/oxide/organic interfaces

Charge injection at metal/organic interfaces dictates the performance, lifetime, and stability of organic electronic devices. We demonstrate that interface dipole theory, originally developed to describe Schottky contacts at metal/semiconductor interfaces, can also accurately describe the injection barriers in real organic electronic devices. It is found that theoretically predicted hole inject...
