MONOLITHIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A monolithic semiconductor device comprising a substrate (12), a layer of photoconductive material (16) formed on the substrate (12), a transparent insulator (22) formed on the photoconductive material (16) and a layer of material (26) which emits light when electrically stimulated, said layer of light emitting material (26) being formed on the transparent insulator (22). The light emitting material (26) is preferably an organic electro-luminescent material such as a polymer. Particular application of the device is in implementing an analog based neural network and by selection and arrangement of various components the device may also act as a display. A method of manufacturing the device is also disclosed.
