    Abstract: Image sensors with monochromatic or multi-color response made from organic semiconductors are disclosed. The image sensors are comprised of image sensing elements (pixels) each of which comprises a thin layer (or multiple layers) of organic semiconductor(s) sandwiched between conductive electrodes. These image sensors can be integrated or hybridized with electronic or optical devices on the same substrate or on different substrates. The electrical output signals from the image sensors resulting from the input image are probed by a circuit connected to the electrodes. The spectral response of the image sensing, elements can be modified and adjusted to desired spectral profiles through material selection, through device thickness adjustment and/or through optical filtering. Several approaches for achieving red, green, and blue full-color detection are disclosed. Similar approaches can be used for multiple-band detection (wavelength multiplexing) in desired response profiles and in other selected spectral ranges.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a structure including a high mobility backplane and a-Si photodiode imager includes forming a matrix of metal oxide thin film transistors on the surface of a rigid support member, depositing a planarizing layer on the matrix of transistors that is either porous or permissive/diffusive to oxygen at temperatures below approximately 200° C., and fabricating a matrix of passivated a-Si photodiodes over the matrix of transistors and electrically connected one each photodiode to each of the transistors. A continuous path is provided through the planarizing layer from the exterior of the structure to each of the transistors and the structure is annealed at a temperature below 200° C. in an oxygen ambient to move oxygen from the oxygen ambient to an active layer of each of the transistors and repair loss of oxygen damage to the transistors caused by the fabrication of the passivated a-Si photodiodes.
