Abstract

The present invention provides an electronic device comprising first and second continuous interpenetrating lattices that are made of an electron donor and acceptor material respectively. One or both of the donor and acceptor material may be an organic material. A method for manufacturing a device according to the invention is also disclosed. The composite may be used in a photovoltaic device or any semiconductor device, such as a sensor, a light emitting diode or a photodetector.
