ORGANIC MOLECULAR-BEAM DEPOSITION - TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS IN ELECTRONICS AND PHOTONICS

The organic molecular beam deposition technology allows the reproducib le growth of complex layer sequences of various organic semiconductors in combination with dielectric films, different metallizations and in dium-tin-oxide layers. The successful fabrication of devices for both electronic and photonic applications is discussed. Organic-on-inorgani c heterostructure diodes based on crystalline thin PTCDA (3,4,9,10-per ylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride) films on III-V-semiconductors are in vestigated with regard to microwave applications and secondly, organic light emitting diodes with bright emission in the blue, green and red spectral region and with low operation voltages are presented.
