Description
Summary:Applications of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) include wearable health monitors and next-generation Internet-of-Things systems driven by a small energy-harvesting power supply. Such applications require low voltage and low power consumption organic ICs. In this paper, we demonstrate complementary ICs based on printed p-type and n-type OTFTs operatable at an ultralow supply voltage of 200 mV. For that purpose, threshold voltages were finely tuned by dual-gate structure and self-assembled monolayer. Complementary inverter-based ring oscillators operated at small supply voltages down to 200 mV and exhibited a power consumption as small as 6 pW per stage.
