摘要
Using soluble polymers for the active layer and insulating layer, we report on a concept for the fabrication of fast integrated circuits based on p-type organic transistors only. Ring oscillators with frequencies above 100 kHz and propagation stage delays below 0.7 mus are presented. They show a very stable performance over time even without encapsulation, when stored and measured under ambient conditions. Regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophen) is used as the active semiconducting layer, a polymer blend as the insulator, a flexible polyester film as the substrate and metal electrodes. To enable vertical interconnects, the insulating layer is patterned. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
