A novel structure for Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT) is here presented. The devices are fabricated using a one-mask, photolithographic self-alignment technique which can be performed with standard photoresists and without further chemical treatments. This technique, combined with a novel technology for the realization of low voltage OTFTs, allows a dramatic reduction of the parasitic capacitances thus leading to a remarkable cut-off frequency. In this paper, the main electrical parameters of low voltage, self-aligned devices are reported, and a complete frequency characterization of the devices is given. These characteristics make the reported approach suitable for the development of basic circuitries for frequency applications.

Abstract
A novel structure for Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT) is here presented. The devices are fabricated using a one-mask, photolithographic self-alignment technique which can be performed with standard photoresists and without further chemical treatments. This technique, combined with a novel technology for the realization of low voltage OTFTs, allows a dramatic reduction of the parasitic capacitances thus leading to a remarkable cut-off frequency. In this paper, the main electrical parameters of low voltage, self-aligned devices are reported, and a complete frequency characterization of the devices is given. These characteristics make the reported approach suitable for the development of basic circuitries for frequency applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
