Abstract: Flexible electronics Organic flexible electronics are being developed for computer displays, radio frequency identification tags, sensors and devices that have not been dreamt of yet. Practical applications so far are few, as their electrical performance is poor compared with conventional electronics. In terms of charge carrier mobility, however, field-effect transistors made of organic single crystals have a very high performance. The obstacle to the use of single-crystal devices is that they have to be individually hand-made. The report of a method of fabricating large arrays of high performance transistor devices by direct patterning of single crystals onto clean silicon surfaces or flexible plastics may help to change that. The new method retains the high performance of field-effect transistors even after significant bending.
