Printed Organic Thin-Film Transistors and Integrated Circuits

This chapter focuses on the printed organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) devices and integrated circuits. Section 4.2 describes basic theory for OTFT-based inverters, amplifiers, and feedback circuits. Section 4.3 is devoted to illustrating how to design OTFT-based integrated circuits, including materials, processes, schematic design, circuit simulation, and layout. Section 4.4 picks up key requirements for printed OTFT devices and how to improve the performances. Section 4.5 shows several applications of OTFT integrated circuits such as ultra-flexible circuits, wireless communication, and sensor systems.
