Job type (employment contract / stipend): Ph D stipend
Number of job offers: 1
Remuneration / stipend amount / month: 3 500 – 5 000 PLN according to ISD rules (https://ids.p.lodz.pl/)
Position starts on: 1st December 2024
Maximum period of contract / stipend agreement: 4 year
Institution: Department of Molecular Physics, Faculty of Chemistry, Lodz University of Technology
Project leader: Dr. Tomasz Marszalek
Project title:
Controlled crystallization for trap-limited charge carrier transport in organic semiconductors. Project is carried out within the National Since Centre – OPUS 25
Project description:
In the frame of submitted proposal and international cooperation, we would like to prove that by controlling the conditions of the semiconductor layer deposition process, we are able to control the quality of the layers, and thus the electrical parameters of fabricated devices. The most important point of the conducted research is the use of theoretical simulations to describe the phenomena that occur in the process and its correlation with experimental data. Thanks to this approach, it will be possible to understand the process of ordering molecules in the active layer depending on their chemical structure, the type of substrate and the deposition parameters. Using the acquired knowledge, the optimal processing window for each type of semiconductor (taking into account the difference in molecular organization induced by chemical structure) will be defined, which will ensure the high quality of the produced layers, which will then be responsible for high-efficiency field-effect transistors. The final stage of the project will be the fabrication of demonstrator consisting two connected transistors in one electronic circuit showing the application possibilities of the obtained results.
