Comparison of fully printed unipolar and complementary organic logic gates

We compare the static and dynamic behavior of fully printed organic inverters based on unipolar and complementary transistor logic. The latter show a better static as well as dynamic behavior with a superior voltage gain, noise margin and switching speed. Finally the first fully printed complementary NAND-gate is demonstrated.

A flat-panel display control IC with 150-V drivers

A flat-panel display control IC with 150-V drivers is realized in high-voltage analog/digital IC technology utilizing a low-cost p-n junction isolation process. An improved semiwell isolation structure that has an epitaxial layer of two different thicknesses is used. In order to achieve high-voltage push-pull operation, totem-pole-type output circuits are formed in the structure's thick, high-resistivity epitaxial area. A compact complementary transistor logic circuit is successfully integrated in the n-wells of the structure's thin epitaxial area to meet the high-speed requirement for control logic. A stacked circuit is used to reduce the standby power needs of the logic circuits.
