Cellulose-Derivative-Based Gate Dielectric for High-Performance Organic Complementary Inverters.

Abstract

been realized using organic thin-fi lm transistors (OTFTs) as the essential element. In the majority of these applications OTFTs are integrated either in the form of arrays or as digital logic. The fundamental building block of digital logic is the inverter, a circuit that inverts an input signal. Much work has been devoted in the last fi ve years to design unipolar inverters using p-typeonly OTFTs. [ 18‐23 ] Unfortunately, unipolar logic based on single gate OTFTs always suffers from high power consumption and low noise margin coupled with high noise margin variability and therefore impedes the fabrication of complex circuits having hundreds or more logic gates. [ 19,22,23 ] In this context, it stands
