3 B. Mazhari, IITK Key Issue: Integration G-Number •Although the seed of information revolution was there in Triode itself, it was difficult to harness it Integration level was limited
ENIAC: Electronic numerical Integrator and computer: 1946
30 x 50 feet room
The ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, along with 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 1,500 relays, 6,000 manual switches and 5 million soldered joints. It covered 1800 square feet (167 square meters) of floor space, weighed 30 tons, consumed 160 kilowatts of electrical power, and, when turned on, caused the city of Philadelphia to experience brownouts. Records from 1952 show that approximately 19,000 vacuum tubes had to be replaced in that year alone, which averages out to about 50 tubes a day! 4 B. Mazhari, IITK G-Number Transistor: 1948

9 B. Mazhari, IITK Moore’s Law G-Number Limitations of Inorganic-Semiconductor Electronics
Integrated Circuits can only be made on Single CtlCrystals of SiSemicon dtductors using reltillatively high temperature Processing steps.
(Monolithic Integration of components on other Substrates such as glass, plastic etc is not possible)
Example: Light Emitting Diode
Although LED was invented in 1962, its impact on Display has been minimal !

14 B. Mazhari, IITK G-Number The properties of organic semiconductors are determined significantly by properties of the molecules. As a result, there is a great freedom in altering the semiconductor’s properties through modification in molecular structure.

15 B. Mazhari, IITK G-Number Organic semiconductors are molecular solids in which molecules are held together by weak Van der Waals forces. As a result, these semiconductors can be vaporized at very low temperatures to form films.
Another class of organic semiconductors are polymers which are soluble in common solvents such as Chloroform or Xylene and their films can be formed by even simpler methods of spin coating.
Because organic semiconductors need not be crystalline and because they can deposited at very low temperatures, organic devices such as LEDs of different colors, solar cells, transistors, all made out of different semiconductors can nevertheless be monolithically integrated on not only a common inexpensive glass but also plastic, paper and fabric!

19 B. Mazhari, IITK G-Number Disadvantages/Challenges
The sources of advantages of organic semiconductors, namely, amorphous nature and weak intermolecular forces are also reasons for its main disadvantage which is poor electron and hole mobility
Another weakness of these materials is high sensitivity to oxygen, moisture and long term stability is a serious issue. Unless organic semiconductor devices are sealed properly, they may degrade in a matter of minutes!

Lumiblade can be embedded into most materials with ease. That gives designers almost limitless scope to mold and meld Lumiblade into everyday objects, scenes and surfaces, from chairs and clothing to walls, windows and tabletops.
As a result, not only could ambient lighting become an integral part of an object or building, but also designers could use light itself to shape products and architecture

Organic semiconductor devices are attractive because amorphous thin films of organic and polymer materials whose properties can be tuned over a wide r anggpe can be deposited at low temperatures on substrates such as glass, plastic etc. to make viable devices using low cost manufacturing techniques such as roll-to-roll processing, printing etc.
Their chief disadvantage is inferior performance due to lower carrier Mobility and inferior long term stability.
