Organic thin film transistors, unipolar inverters and ring oscillators have been fabricated on plastic foil and afterwards embedded into a plastic substrate by using an injection molding process. The transistors have an effective field-effect mobility of 0.001 cm 2 V −1 s -1 , an on/off ratio of 10 5 and threshold voltage V th of 0.5 V while the inverter shows a gain of 1.6 at V dd =−10 V. The five-stage ring oscillator showed an oscillation frequency of ∼11 Hz at V dd =−10 V. The results demonstrate the transfer of organic electronic devices fabricated on plastic foil onto the surface of a 3D plastic object by using injection molding process, one of the most common modern methods of part manufacturing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
