Dear Readers, Since the ground-breaking, Nobel-prize crowned work
of Heeger, MacDiarmid, and Shirakawa on molecularly doped polymers
and polymers with an alternating bonding structure at the end of
the 1970s, the academic and industrial research on
hydrocarbon-based semiconducting materials and devices has made
encouraging progress. The strengths of semiconducting polymers are
currently mainly unfolding in cheap and easily assembled thin ?lm
transistors, light emitting diodes, and organic solar cells. The
use of so-called "plastic chips" ranges from lightweight, portable
devices over large-area applications to gadgets demanding a degree
of mechanical ?exibility, which would overstress
conventionaldevices based on inorganic,perfect crystals. The ?eld
of organic electronics has evolved quite dynamically during the
last few years; thus consumer electronics based on molecular
semiconductors has gained suf?cient market attractiveness to be
launched by the major manufacturers in the recent past.
Nonetheless, the numerous challenges related to organic device
physics and the physics of ordered and disordered molecular solids
are still the subjects of a cont- uing lively debate. The future of
organic microelectronics will unavoidably lead to new devi-
physical insights and hence to novel compounds and device
architectures of - hanced complexity. Thus, the early evolution of
predictive models and precise, computationally effective simulation
tools for computer-aided analysis and design of promising device
prototypes will be of crucial importance.
