1 FLEXNET Network of Excellence for FOLAE research in the EU

2 In 10 minutes you will know What is FlexNet What research is being done What other activities are open for your participation:» Research Advisory Service» List of research groups in EU and worldwide» incentive workshops

3 NoE FlexNet Facts at a glance Figures Network of Excellence FlexNet FP7 grant agreement n Max. EC Contribution: 4 Mio. EUR Budget total 4.7 Mio. EUR 17 partners from 11 EU countries Started 01 / 2010 Duration: 36 months Aims Support Europe s world leadership in the field of FOLAE Overcome fragmentation of the research landscape Foster transfer from science to industry within the EU Incentivize subsequent commercial exploitation of FOLAE based systems knowledge, especially through SMEs

4 Quotes from the project s abstract scientific focus on FOLAE specific Organic Semiconductors as well as Supporting Materials for OTFTs including Interface Properties, Barrier Materials, Characterisation, and OTFT Device Integration into Systems. knowledge will actively be made available to European stakeholders from research and industry, especially SMEs in Southern and Eastern Europe. Modelling and Design of Systems, and Manufacturing Processes for Systems. support the integration process of scientific excellence of FOLAE oriented European research on Materials, Devices and Systems. South Eastern European partners

5 17 FlexNet Partners across Europe Czech Republic: France: Finland: Germany: Greece: Italy: Poland: Portugal: Romania: Spain: Switzerland: CSEM Ustav Makromolekularni Chemie AV CR, v.v.i.

6 7 critical issues to be addressed 1. Air stability of materials and device fabrication 2. Lifetime 3. Measure and increase channel mobility 4. Determine material properties evaluate ultimate performance 5. Evaluate and decrease performance dispersion 6. Foil to foil integration 7. On foil integration Possible input for a Strategic Research Agenda or similar document. Get in touch if you want to contribute or receive the results.

7 WP 2 and 3 Materials, Devices Integration and Systems Integration

Task Forces in WP2 and WP3 WP2 Materials and Devices Integration TF2.1 Organic Semiconductors with focus on OTFTs (WUT) TF2.2 Dielectrics and Conductors (CNRS) TF2.3 Interfaces (UPAT) TF2.

9 Synthesis of new Organic Semiconductors Synthesis by Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) Characterisation in OTFT structure by other partners (AUTh, UPAT, ) Examples:» Bisimides, derivatives of Naphtalene Bisimides» Others (carbazole derivatives, ) Also done by colleagues in Warsaw: Database ofcommerciallyavailableorganicsemiconductors

10 Material Characterization Organic Semiconductors by WUT and others Characterisation in OTFT structures or thin films by various partners like Lodz, Thessaloniki, Patras, Prague (IMC), Examples:» spin casting and zone casting of layers (TUL)» vacuum sublimation of layers, µ by time of flight (IMC)» electrical measurements (UAlg)» morphology studies and surface energy measurements (AUTh)» studies of interface phenomena (UPAT)

OFETs At all partner sites, thus spreading know how Common

11 Devices Characterization: Round Robin Test Characterizing organic semiconductors used in OFET structures RRT with common substrate OFETs At all partner sites, thus spreading know how Common measurement protocol and parameter extraction methods Contact: Zbigniew Szamel (CSEM)

12 Round Robin Test Schematic 3 measurements of each sample (producer, partner, producer again)

14 Research Advisory Service answers your needs Facilitates company involvement, especially from South East Europe, in FOLAE technology:» Provides companies an easy access, single interface portal to» FlexNet expert resources and infrastructure.» Platform to transfer technologies from research network to industry Gives a clear picture of scientific achievements, technology possibilities and restrictions, and future trends» Technology demonstrators, feasibility studies» Cooperation of FlexNet partners and European companies» Helps and encourages companies to take up FOLAE technologies Contact: Terho Kololuoma (VTT) Stéphane Cros (CEA)

15 Incentive Workshops bring local research and industry together Foster involvement of companies in FOLAE Presentations and workshops for local audience, partly or entirely in native language Gather local stakeholders, SMEs, regional interest groups Engage in a process of identification of opportunities through FOLAE Workshops held in Greece, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, France, and Italy Contact: Bertrand Fillon (CEA)

16 Web Portal FOLAE Higher Education Lists information of research groups worldwide Provides information on:» courses, degree programmes,» potential collaboration partners,» recruiting opportunities Contact: Prof. Reinhard Baumann Mr. Anh Tuan Tran Le (TU Chemnitz, Germany)

17 Web portal higher education

18 Web portal: 400 groups from across Europe almost 400 groups listed in EU countries 111 groups in North America 117 groups in Asia some in South Africa and Australia

19 Web portal: 600 groups listed world wide almost 400 groups listed in EU countries 111 groups in North America 117 groups in Asia some in South Africa and Australia Is your group listed? All info correct? Let us know and use this database to find collaborations / recruit specialists / look for PhD
