In 2004, Dr. George Malliaras, pioneer of organic electronic research, and Dr. Chris Ober, world renowned photoresist chemist, started a collaborative research work at Cornell University. Their goal was to develop a non-toxic photoresist which would not damage organic electronics materials.
In Cornell’s world class research labs and CNF, the Ober group and Malliaras group succeeded surpassed their goal by developing a suite of photoresists based on a fl uorinated solvent system.
Established in May 2009 and incorporated in August of 2009, Orthogonal was created to commercialize the aforementioned research. Based in Ithaca NY, Orthogonal is partnering with best of breed electronics, chemicals and equipment manufacturers to bring a new class of highly demanded greener electronics to the world.
