High-performance contacts in plastic transistors and logic gates that use printed electrodes of DNNSA-PANI doped with single-walled carbon nanotubes

An overview is given on the excellent electrical properties of contacts in organic transistors and logic gates that use printed electrodes of DNNSA-PANI/SWNT in bottom contact configurations. The large grain sizes observed at and near the contacts are consistent with the observations. The results provide some evidence to suggest that thermal printing with this class of doped conducting polymer or related materials might represent progress toward a useful strategy for building large-area circuits for realistic applications.
