Abstract
Evaluation techniques and the device applications of organic and composite thin films are described. One of the evaluation techniques is the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. It has become a widely accepted method for the characterization and study of ultrathin films, interfaces and kinetic processes at surfaces, and it has been investigated in the applications of SPR sensors and plasmonic novel devices. Properties, functionalization and various applications of hybrid materials, nanocomposites, and nanoparticles are also introduced, and the application to industry is mentioned. Moreover, electronic device application of monolithic organic logic circuit using a stacked structure of two organic static induction transistors is explained. The advantages of this novel device structure are the controllability of the operational characteristics and simple device fabrication process.
