Free Keithley Online Seminar Explains Test Methods for Printed and Organic Electronics
Cleveland, Ohio, January 17, 2011 * * * Keithley Instruments, Inc. (NYSE: KEI), a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, will broadcast a free, one-hour online seminar titled “Understanding Electrical Characterization of Printed and Organic Electronics and Materials” on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 15:00 Central European Time (CET). To register for this event, visit http://www.keithley.info/printed_organic_materials.
A novel and unconventional technology that has the potential to change the world of electronics, printed and organic electronics offers the opportunity to manufacture low-cost electronic solutions that are not compatible with today’s standard inorganic electronics. To achieve this potential, making accurate measurements on fabricated devices and printable inks will be essential in fully understanding the electrical properties and operational characteristics of materials and devices. Knowing how to reduce various sources of measurement errors will be critical to success.
In this seminar, senior Keithley scientific research expert Jonathan Tucker will present methods and best measurement practices for electrically characterizing printed and organic electronics and materials. He will also discuss some practical application examples where such measurement principles are required.
Seminar participants will learn and understand:
• Measurement techniques required for measuring the conductivity of printable e-inks and I-V characteristics of organic electronics
• Sources of measurement error that will affect such measurements
• Measurement solutions that can be used in printed and organic electronics measurement applications
Target Audience:
This seminar is recommended for students, researchers, engineers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, nanoscience, and organic/semiconductor device development who wish to get a better understanding of basic electrical measurements.
