Flexible, Carbon-Based Ohmic Contacts for Organic Transistors

A low-temperature process for fabricating flexible, ohmic contacts for use in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) has been developed. Typical drainsource contact materials used previously for OTFTs include (1) vacuum deposited noble metal contacts and (2) solution deposited intrinsically conducting molecular or polymeric contacts. Both of these approaches, however, have serious drawbacks.
