Semiconductor device, e.g. transistor or diode, has semiconductor zone(s) of semiconductor particles surface-modified with monomolecular ligand layer and contacts for injecting and extracting charge carriers into and from the zone

摘要

Semiconductor device, has semiconductor zone(s) and first and second contacts respectively for injecting and extracting charge carriers into and from this zone. The zone consists of semiconductor particles surface-modified with a monomolecular layer of ligand. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) printable formulation containing solvent and surface-modified semiconductor particles; and (2) production of a semiconductor device by preparing a substrate and printable formulation(s), printing the formulation(s) on the substrate to form a semiconductor zone and providing other structural elements to complete the device.
