Semiconducting Polymers

02/28/2007 4:53 AM

I am looking for diodes from semiconductor polymers. Diodes that can be "printed".

The quetsion is who is able to produce the function of 2 antiparallel diode using polymers. Thus the diode must conduct in both direction. The threshold must be as low as possible.

A diode that conducts in both directions. Nice.

Printable electronics is the big next thing. Philips has thousands of engineers and researchers working on organic semiconducting.

Nearly all other own research on semiconductor evolutions has been stopped.

Dear Gwen,

Is Philips able to make production printable electronics already? Can you give me a name to conact ?

Nothing wrong with two antiparallel diodes that conduct both ways, I have developed such devices to ultimately drive a series chain of LED's and in the current domain alone to realise a current detector capable of generating informative light signals and volt free output signals over the range of + or - 3mA to 10 Amperes. In other words light from almost solid wire that works as well with AC or DC!
Anyone interested to know more about the cost/benefits of such a device and how it can quarter the core count in control system copper wiring?
