Funded Activity Summary

Organic Field Effect Transistors for Biosensor Applications. The development of future Australian industries based on polymer electronics is tangible. The prohibitive establishment costs mean that there is effectively no Australian conventional semiconductor manufacturing industry. However, polymer electronic devices are simple to manufacture with low fabrication costs. As such, the commercial barriers to the development of an Australian soft electronics industry are much lower. Internationally, soft electronics is developing apace and securing a soft electronics industry in Australia requires the urgent development of an Australian skill base in fabricating soft electronic devices. This project offers the opportunity of establishing a significant capability in soft electronic device fabrication.
