Plastic electronics

École Polytechnique introduces electronic devices based on organic semiconductor materials. Charge transport and optical behavior connect with interfaces and complete device structures. It suits learners interested in why material selection changes an electronic device’s operation, rather than looking only at the circuit that surrounds it.

What you will learn

• Explain charge transport in organic semiconductors.
• Connect optical properties with electronic behavior.
• Review interfaces within plastic electronic devices.

Who this suits

Learners ready for intermediate semiconductor and materials concepts; preview the physics used in the explanations.

Before you enroll

Review the mathematical preparation and any equipment requirements before enrolling. Use a circuit simulator or a supervised low-voltage learning kit for practice. Work involving mains electricity, high-current systems or stored energy requires appropriate training and supervision; an online completion certificate does not establish professional electrical competence.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Draw a simplified organic electronic device and explain the role of its layers and interfaces using the course’s conceptual framework.
