A Hybrid Optoelectronic Sensor Platform with an Integrated Solution-Processed Organic Photodiode

Abstract

Hybrid systems, unifying printed electronics with silicon-based technology, can be seen as a driving force for future sensor development. Especially interesting are sensing elements based on printed devices in combination with silicon-based high-performance electronics for data acquisition and communication. In this work, a hybrid system integrating a solution-processed organic photodiode in a silicon-based system environment, which enables flexible device measurement and application-driven development, is presented. For performance evaluation of the integrated organic photodiode, the measurements are compared to a silicon-based counterpart. Therefore, the steady state response of the hybrid system is presented. Promising application scenarios are described, where a solution-processed organic photodiode is fully integrated in a silicon system.
