The structure and operation of organic field-effect transistors will be explained as well as the state-of-the art performance achieved so far for solution-processed devices. Furthermore, the principal printing methodologies and recent developments in low-temperature inorganic/transparent semiconductor deposition will be presented. Specifically: Basics of organic electronic materials Basics of transistor structure and operation State-of-the art solution-processable organic and inorganic semiconductors Device fabrication by printing methodologies The workshop will cover the following topics: Organic Electronic Materials. Introduction Semiconductors - Structure and basic principles - Charge transport and optical properties - Small molecules, polymers, and hybrid semiconductors Dielectrics - Inorganic, polymers, and self-assembled mono/multilayers - Critical parameters affecting OFET performance - Surface treatments, interfacial effects Conductors - Metals and conducting polymers, contacts and charge injection issues Organic Field-Effect Transistors - Device structure and operation principles; comparison to Si technologies - Film microstructure and morphology versus device performance - Device characterization and parameter extraction Low-Temperature Deposition/ Transparent Inorganics - Amorphous/poly silicon, transparent oxide Printing Technologies - Flexography, Gravure, Pad, Inkjet	Gold sponsors: Silver sponsors: Bronze sponsors: Association sponsors: Media sponsors:
