Organic field-effect transistor
Type of field-effect transistor / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about OTFT?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
An organic field-effect transistor (OFET) is a field-effect transistor using an organic semiconductor in its channel. OFETs can be prepared either by vacuum evaporation of small molecules, by solution-casting of polymers or small molecules, or by mechanical transfer of a peeled single-crystalline organic layer onto a substrate. These devices have been developed to realize low-cost, large-area electronic products and biodegradable electronics. OFETs have been fabricated with various device geometries. The most commonly used device geometry is bottom gate with top drain and source electrodes, because this geometry is similar to the thin-film silicon transistor (TFT) using thermally grown SiO2 as gate dielectric. Organic polymers, such as poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA), can also be used as dielectric.[1] One of the benefits of OFETs, especially compared with inorganic TFTs, is their unprecedented physical flexibility,[2] which leads to biocompatible applications, for instance in the future health care industry of personalized biomedicines and bioelectronics.[3]

In May 2007, Sony reported the first full-color, video-rate, flexible, all plastic display,[4][5] in which both the thin-film transistors and the light-emitting pixels were made of organic materials.
