"In summary, the authors can be congratulated for having written well-focussed chapters of very high quality, and the editor can be congratulated for the broad yet strategic selection of topics and authors for this book. It is this quality of the individual contributions and the useful selection which make this book not only a good starting lesson on the subject of organic semiconductors, but also a book of reference for the expert in the field." ChemPhysChem<br> <br> "This book is well structured, and the individual chapters have been written by leading scientists in each area. The editor has coordinated the large amount of information effectively. I really appreciate the good balance between introductory and advanced topics, between scientific and technological /applications issues, and between materials and device structure/applications...this excellent book should be brought to the attention of graduate students as well as industrial and academic researchers interested in organic electronics. It will also provide stimulating ideas for open-minded chemists, physicists, material scientists, and electrical engineers seeking new opportunities in this exciting R & D area. Do not miss it!" Angewandte Chemie und Angewandte I. E.<br> <br> "...provides a timely overview of the current state of the art in OTFT materials, manufacturing, and applications. This text will make an excellent addition to any library and provides a great introduction point for scientists and engineers looking to familiarize themselves with the field of OTFTs, while also providing a wealth of details for experts seeking a quick reference guide to aid in their own technology development."

Hagen Klauk received his PhD in electrical engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 1999, receiving the Xerox Research Award for his doctorate on organic thin film transistors. In 2000 he joined Infineon Technologies in Erlangen, Germany and since 2005 he has been a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, where he is investigating a wide range of novel organic device concepts. Dr. Klauk has 60 publications and 8 patents to his name.

This book discusses the materials, manufacturing and applications aspects of organic thin film transistors. Authored and edited by 30 leading experts from industry and academia it is packed with know how and first hand expertise on the practical issues of organic electronics. While previous publications have covered the physics and chemistry of organic transistors, this is the first book devoted exclusively to the technology of these devices, their integration into real products, and current industry activities to commercialize organic electronics. <br> Following an introductory chapter by one of the pioneers of organic device technology, the book reviews the state-of-the-art and recent advances in three major sections. Functional materials such as organic semiconductors, gate dielectrics and flexible substrates are introduced, followed by manufacturing processes based on film deposition and patterning. Lastly, product applications such as circuits, displays, detectors and sensors are featured prominently. <br> The book draws from the collective knowledge of professionals from eight corporations (Philips, 3M, Plastic Logic, Eastman Kodak, Xerox, DuPont, AIXTRON, Hueck Folien) and nine universities and research centers (CNRS, PARC, University of Kentucky, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, Pennsylvania State University, University of Tokyo, University of Erlangen, Johns Hopkins University) and thus provides the reader with an unprecedented view of the global organic electronics landscape. <br> <br>
