Abstract

Recent fabrication processes and characterizations of electronic devices using organic semiconductor films are described. In this chapter, we focus on the latest advances in organic transistor structures, in particular, the fabrication and characterization of functional thin organic semiconductor films. It is important to investigate the intrinsic electrical properties of organic semiconductor films, and the in situ optical and electrical measurements described here involve powerful techniques for the development of organic devices because a better understanding of the organic semiconductor growth mechanism and its basic electrical properties will not only enable better device performance but also lead to new functional physics. Other new functional devices, namely molecular nano-wire devices and metal-insulator transition devices, are described as well. Finally, the potential for the development of flexible organic electronic devices will be discussed.
