Non-traditional materials for solid-state electronics such as porous silicon, perovskites, electrides, conducting polymers whose structure imperfections and peculiar features of the structure are responsible for their unusual properties, are considered in this paper. Their distinctive characteristics, features of the structure, methods of fabrication have been presented. An outline of their properties and possible applications in micro- and optoelectronics are reported. The fundamental character of the cluster structure is emphasized, as an example, quasicrystals and fullerens are used.
