`
`Course Description, Structure, & Attendance
`
`This course focuses on the foundational principles of organic electronic and photonic devices, whose operation is
`fiindamentally based on “soft” condensed—matter principles and materials. We will focus on current research efforts
`in a variety of organic devices, including flat-panel—displays (LCDs and Organic LEDs), transistor-based electronics,
`and solar cells. We will build from the traditional foundation of EB students in semiconductor materials and address
`the differences in physical properties, fabrication processes, and device limitations/advantages. Topics will include
`electronic transport and light emission, self—assembly and partial—order, lightwave propagation, and fabrication. A
`modest set of laboratory @eriments will be included where students will fabricate the following devices:
`a single-pixel liquid crystal display,
`a polymer light—emitting—diode,
`an organic photovoltaic solar cell,
`and a polymer field—effect—transistor.

`
`Laboratory Experiments
`
`The following four laboratory experiments will be conducted predominantly in the lab room (1034 EB2). A prelab
`worksheet must be completed before starting all labs, and the lab experiment manuals can be downloaded from the
`course website. Each lab experiment will consume at least one full lecture period.
`1.
`Single—Pixel Liguid Cgstal Display: A single pixel TN—LCD will be fabricated from scratch.
`2.
`Palmer Light-Emitting—Diode: An electrically-driven polymer-LED will be fabricated from scratch.
`3.
`Organic Photovoltaic Solar Cell: An Organic photovoltaic device will be fabricated and
`characterized.
`
`4.
`
`Polmer Field—Efl‘ect—Transistor”. A polyrner—FET will be fabricated and characterized.
`
`Evaluation and Grading Policy
`
`A weighted average grade will be calculated as shown below. As a laboratory course, all labs must be completed for
`a passing grade. Two in—class tests will be given during the semester, and the individually written final project.
`The test dates above are tentative and may change.

`
`Final Project (due 10 May, 5 pm) <**)
`(**) The final project assignment will be slightly different for ECE—492
`(undergraduate) and ECE—592 (graduate) students. See next section.
`It is important to note that the Professor will not be curving grades in this course. The good news is that it is
`theoretically possible for everyone in the class to get an A (or an F). Your performance depends entirely on how
`m do, and not on how everyone else in the class does.
`It is therefore in your best interest to help your classmates
`in every legal way possible.
`
`The conversion system below will be used to convert numerical scores to letter grading. Note that a passing grade
`is 2 70 (C-) and that grades below 60 receive F.
`Score
`
`
`
`
`
` 9OSX<93
`
`There will be a gray area of several points below each of the numerical cutoffs at left (except for A to A+). A
`student within this gray area may receive the higher grade (e. g. a B+ instead of a B) at the discretion of the
`Professor. This discretion may depend on several things: your test/homework grades improved steadily over the
`semester, strong in—class and lab participation, attendance in lecture, etc.
`
`Final Project
`The final project will consist of a written proposal—style document based on knowledge gained in the course as well
`as in the lab. The assignment will be posted about 5 weeks before semester end Graduate students will haVe the
`additional responsibility of delivering an oral presentation to the instructor, and possibly, their peers. Topics must
`be approved by the instructor at a date to be determined.
`
`Homework Policy
`
`Homework assignments will be posted on the course website, and are generally due at the beginning of the TBA
`lecture the following week after being assigned.
`lfyou are late, your homework is late. Our intention is to post
`homework solutions online within two days of the due—date.

`
`Late Homework Policy
`
`Any homework handed in after the due date/time described above will be considered late (unless there you make
`previous arrangements with the Professor, or can demonstrate an emergency situation after the due date/time). Late
`homework will be penalized ~10% and accepted until 10:OOam the day afier it was originally due.
`In this
`circumstance, you may hand in the assignment in several ways:
`(a) hardcopy to my oflice in MRC;
`(b) email
`scanned images; or (c) fax to 515-3027 (to Dr. Escuti’s attention).
`
`Laboratory Experiment Policy
`Since there will not be some weeks without a lab experiment, check the course laboratog webpage to be sure of the
`schedule.
`
`Students will perform the experiments within three—person teams, but hand in individual pre-lab assignments and
`lab write—ups. Pre—lab assignments will be posted on the course website, and must be handed to the TA at the
`beginning of the lab section. Without the hardcopy of the Pre—Lab, you will not be permitted to perform the lab
`experiment — it is your ticket in the door. Note that the Pre—Lab assignment is meant to introduce you to the lab,
`and will therefore not generally demand a lot of time.
`The lab write-up will be based on properly keeping a laboratory “notebook”. While this will be different than what
`most students have done in previous courses, we hope that it will provide a very usefiil real—world skill that many
`students may not otherwise learn: how to keep a technical lab notebook.
`Each lab experiment generally involves three “stations”, each focusing on a different part of the lab. The student-
`groups will rotate through each station within the three-hour lab time. The TA and/or Professor will provide a brief
`introduction to the experiment and assist students as needed to promote timely progress. Ifa group requires more
`time for a particular experiment, they will generally need to visit one of the other lab sections on another day (with
`an open station).
`
`Lab and Test Make-up Policy
`
`If a student has a non—emergency reason to miss a test or lab, then they MUST contact the Professor. Any
`emergency absence will require some sort of documentation. A make—up opportunity for each lab experiment will
`generally be offered the following week, and will be scheduled as closely to the original test—date for a test. Only in
`extreme circumstances will exceptions to this be allowed.
`
`Instructors’ Commitment
`
`You can expect your instructors to be courteous, respectfirl, and punctual; to be well organized and prepared for
`lectures/labs; to answer questions clearly and in a non—negative fashion; to be available during office hours or notify
`you beforehand if we are unable to kept them; to grade uniformly and consistently according to posted guidelines.
`We aim to provide you with the best course materials and to go out of our way to assist you in learning the
`material.
`
`For Students with Disabilities
`
`In order to take advantage of
`Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities.
`available accommodations, students must register with Disability Services for Students at the Student Health
`Center. For more information on NC State’s policies on working with students with disabilities, see this link.
`You instructor and TAs have been and will continue to be as flexible as possible.
`
`Academic Integrity
`
`Universim policy will be followed. Note that teamwork is strongly encouraged (as it is an important part of being a
`successfirl engineer), but plagiarism/cheating is not be tolerated at all. You are expected to fully understand and
`' author any assignments (homework, lab write-ups, exams, reports) even though you may work on them with your
`classmates on out—of—class assignments. If you do not meet this standard, it is far better to discuss the situation
`with the professor than to dig yourself into a hole (i.e. cheating) that will have significant long-term consequences.
`
`Policy on Auditing and Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
`
`University policy will be followed for those taking the course with the satisfactog/unsatisfaetog or the audit
`classifications.
`In simple terms, satisfactory or audit credit will only be given to those students who have a C— or
`higher final grade and who have followed the regulations in the “Evaluation and Grading Policy” section above.

`
`Instructional Objectives
`
`We aim to produce students with a foundation and working knowledge of modern photonics concepts/terminology,
`major opto—electronic devices/components, optical communication systems, and device measurement/handling. As
`most electrical engineering students have minimal exposure to optics and photonics, we will provide the necessary
`background and invoke a series of laboratory experiments to explore and demonstrate the most fundamental concepts
`and devices.
`In order to do well in this course, students must demonstrate the ability to:
`l.
`Equip students with basic knowledge of organic electronic and photonic materials increasingly present
`in consumer devices;
`
`2.
`3.
`4.
`
`Reinforce common principles of electronic devices and fundamentals of optics;
`Inspire students toward graduate-level research in these multidisciplinary research areas;
`Train students via hands—on instruction of essential fabrication skills relevant to the creation and
`integration of organic devices.
