Transistor operation and circuit performance in organic electronics

Electronics based on organic transistors is steadily progressing towards higher levels of integration and better performance. In this work we discussed the operation of organic field-effect transistors and the charge transport properties of organic conjugated semiconductors. We also presented a simple analysis of some basic building blocks used in organic digital electronics, focusing on the relation between device and circuit performance. An overview of the main applications and of the state of the art of organic integrated circuits concluded the paper.
