Semiconductor designs

Summarizing, both organic and inorganic semiconductors suitable for mass-printed electronics are in development. Several materials with excellent physical properties have already been synthesized and applied in printed electronic devices, but nevertheless semiconductor design and synthesis remain important research topics. There is still room for improvement of not only material performance and environmental stability (organics) or processability (inorganies) also costs of semiconductors and processing thereof still ean be further optimized.
