Electrical Engineering Nulceobase Organic Uracil OPD Photodiode Dry Process Recently there has been research made into the use of natural materials, derived from plants and animals, in electronic devices, this field is known as natural electronics. These materials are of particular interest due to the advantages of natural bio-materials. Natural electronics are readily available, biodegradable, renewable, and cheap. By using these materials we can develop environmentally friendly electronic devices. We studied the effects of the nucleobases adenine and uracil, as contact modification layers and interlayers, on pentacene based organic photodetectors (OPDs). The OPDs were fabricated using all dry processing to enable fabrication on flexible substrates, such as paper or plastic. We found that a uracil interlayer enhanced photo-responsivity in pentacene based Schottky photodiodes. The fabricated OPDs are designed to work as red light sensors for application in quantitative analysis of lateral flow immunoassay devices (LFIA). Our uracil enhanced devices have responsivities up to 299 mA/W for light of 633 nm wavelength, compared to the devices without uracil having only 81 mA/W. 2015 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1448275149 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1448275149 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
