Highlights

• This unique film process is a breakthrough technology, enabling organic layers of molecular thickness to be laid directly on a silicon die without loss of performance and with stable electronic properties for the mass production of inexpensive, advanced semiconductors
• Provides a solution for the problems of power consumption, heat generation, and microstructures’ switch leakage in smaller and higher-quality transistor structures for faster, more sensitive and more efficient microprocessors for mainframe and personal computers, PDA and cellular devices, and flat-panel displays.
• For next-generation, high-end microprocessors, the processes are compatible with both silicon technology and organic electronics.
