Thin-Film, Organic and Printable Dielectrics
NanoMarkets, Oct 2008, Pages: 120
Until recently, the focus of materials development for thin-film, organic printable (TOP) electronics was focused primarily on conductors and semiconductors. However, as this rapidly growing area of electronics becomes more sophisticated, there is a need for new or enhanced dielectric materials for both processors and memories.
The drivers here are demands for higher performance TOP circuitry and especially the need to match dielectrics to semiconductors in order to achieve it. In particular, the considerable current interest in an organic version of CMOS may well need novel dielectrics to make it work. Other factors that are driving the need for new kinds of dielectrics include the special requirements of flexible and printed electronics in its many forms.
Silicon dioxide has been the mainstay of the semiconductor industry when it comes to dielectrics and will be used in TOP electronics too, but there is now considerable research and commercial development of dielectric materials that might be better suited to TOP electronics. These include various metal oxides and nitrides, polymers, dielectric inks, nanomaterials and even novel high k-materials. That such materials are important both strategically for the future development of TOP electronics and as revenue generators is shown the list of firms and research institutes working in this space. These include BASF, DuPont, Evonik, Merck, Polyera, Cambridge University, Max Planck Institute, North Western University, PARC and University of Groningen, to name but a few.
This report provides a unique guide to the opportunities in this space. It identifies and quantifies the opportunities for dielectrics in TOP electronics. It discusses the various applications in TOP electronics that are currently calling for novel dielectric materials. It also identifies and compares the major candidate materials for this role and how they fit with various system architectures, production technologies, and the semiconductors used in TOP electronics. The report also includes the product strategies of major firms that are involving themselves in this space and a complete review of R&D and commercialization efforts of TOP dielectrics, as well as an eight-year forecast broken out by types of materials and applications.
discusses how far this new type of photovoltaics can eat into traditional photovoltaics markets.
