National Science Foundation’s Organic and Flexible Electronics Programs in the Engineering Directorate

Kaul A.B., National Science Foundation, US

Organic semiconductors display fascinating properties which has enabled their application in low-cost, high-efficiency organic photovoltaics (OPV), as well as in flexible and printed electronics for OLEDs for solid state lighting and displays. In particular, the [...]

Nano-enabled Green Technologies for Electronics and Energy Applications

Kaul A.B., National Science Foundation, US

Green electronics is largely driven by performance limitations of scaled Si-based CMOS due to the exceptionally high power dissipation arising in such devices at nanoscale dimensions. Novel architectures for computation are currently in consideration, which [...]
