About the talk:
Thin-film transistors with organic/polymer
semiconductor active layers have emerged as potentially useful for
applications such as electronic paper and RF ID tags. n-channel and
p-channel transistors have been demonstrated with mobilities in the
range 0.02 -1 cm2/V-s, adequate for such applications. The principal
advantages of organic transistors are simplicity of fabrication and
compatibility with flexible substrates. Organic-based smart pixels,
row decoders, and the first large-scale complementary integrated circuit
– a 48-stage shift register- have been recently demonstrated. A CMOS
RF ID tag and an 8-bit microprocessor are currently being designed.
In parallel, numerous fabrication methods have been created or adapted
for low-cost organic electronics, and a few will be briefly described.
