Solid-state physics: Electrons in the fast lane
Henning Sirringhaus1
Abstract
Organic semiconductors that operate through the conduction of positive charges are the first choice for use in printable electronic circuitry. A device that uses electrons instead has just joined the rankings.
Transistors, the semiconductor electronic switches at the heart of any integrated circuit, come in two main flavours: p-type transistors, which switch on when a negative voltage is applied to the device's control electrode (gate); and n-type, which switch on with a positive gate voltage. Most silicon integrated circuits make use of a combination of the two types to produce complementary circuits.
