Robust digital design in organic electronics by dual-gate technology

Abstract

A comprehensive study of dual-gate organic thin-film transistors targeting more robust organic circuitry is performed. The difference between zero-V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">gs</sub> -load and diode-load logic is studied and an optimized design for both is presented. This new design is used in 99-stage ring oscillators, to determine stage delays, and in 64 b RFID transponder chips yielding data rates of 4.3 kb/s.
