Fabrication and characterization of organic-based passive pixel developed by inkjet printing for large area imaging sensors.I exploited advantages provided by organic electronics in the field of large-area imaging with respect to inorganic-based electronics, thanks to the possibility of adopting solution-based, low thermal budget, scalable deposition techniques. To fabricate complex optoelectronic systems I integrated different devices onto the same substrate. This requires the adoption of a patterning deposition scheme. To this extent, I exploited drop-on-demand inkjet printing, an additive patterning technique which gives the possibility to deliver small quantities of functional materials formulated into inks on almost arbitrary substrates. I fabricated and characterized printed organic passive pixel integrating a photodiode and an addressing transistor. I addressed a number of issues posed by inkjet printing of such a complex multilayer structure such as proper ink formulation, device integration and process engineering in addition to fundamental transport and light-matter interaction studies.To solve this puzzle, a multidisciplinary approach at the boundary among physics, chemistry and engineering was mandatory and adopted. An in-depth knowledge was acquired on electronics manufacuring techniques, thin films charcterizations and semiconductor performance measurements. Design and analysis of unconventional circuital architectures was performed in order to wisely take advantage of organic devices.The ultimate product of this research is be a 3 by 3 array of pixels, developed and optimized to be employed as a prototypical X-ray imager (based on indirect photoconversion) suitable for biomedical applications.
