Fast organic circuits on flexible polymeric substrates

Progress in flexible organic thin-film transistors and integrated circuits

“…At the same year, Kane et al [90] reported the first dynamic results for organic circuits fabricated on plastic, which presented a maximum oscillation frequency of 1.7 kHz on five-stage ring oscillators operated at 20 V with a 59-ls gate delay and a low voltage gain of organic amplifiers. Almost simultaneously, the fastest flexible organic circuits till that time appeared, achieved by Jackson and co-workers [91], which were constructed of all p-type high mobility (1 cm 2 /(V s)) pentacene transistors. The 5-stage ring oscillator had minimum propagation delay of 37 ls/page corresponding to an oscillation frequency of 2.7 kHz for bias voltages of 20 V and \50 ls/ stage at bias levels below 8 V on PEN polymer.…”

50.2: A Novel Fault‐Tolerant Architecture for Self‐Organizing Display and Sensor Arrays

“…These allow for an efficient distribution of the image data from the edges of the array, circumventing defective regions and even tolerating arbitrarily-shaped displays. The technological basis for the realization of this concept might be achievable with the emergence of printed polymer electronics [4], fluidic self-assembly [5], or a combination of both in the future. This paper is structured as follows.…”

“…ammonium dichromate) has been widely used as a channel blocking layer [7]. The organic channel area without PVA blocking (after develop process) is normally plasma etched by utilizing an oxygen gas (O 2 plasma).…”
