Abstract

This paper reviews recent advancements in the field of organic electronics. Performance of p- and n-type conducting polymers and small molecule organic semiconductors is presented primarily in terms of mobility and current on/off ratio. Moreover, it presents a deep insight into different organic/inorganic materials used for the dielectric layer, electrodes and substrate for thin film transistors (TFTs). The electrical characteristics and performance parameters of single and dual gate structures are compared. In addition, performance dependence of organic TFT (OTFT) is discussed on the basis of contact resistance, channel length and thickness of the active layer. The paper thoroughly discusses several important applications of OTFTs including inverter, organic static random access memory, radio frequency identification tag and DNA sensors. It also includes several limitations and future prospects of organic electronics technology.
