Abstract
Organic semiconductors are based on carbon compounds. The main structural difference from inorganic semiconductors is the bond based on sp2 hybridization (cf. Sect. 2.2.3) as present in benzene (and graphite). Diamond, although consisting of 100% carbon, is not considered an organic semiconductor.
