A field-effect transistor has been fabricated from polymer materials by printing techniques. The device characteristics, which show high current output, are insensitive to mechanical treatments such as bending or twisting. This all-organic flexible device, realized with mild techniques, opens the way for large-area, low-cost plastic electronics.

The first all‐organic electronic device to boast the same characteristics as silicon‐based ones is reported. Not only does the use of an organic insulating layer result in an increased charge‐carrier mobility in the semiconductor, but it also imparts a flexible quality to the whole device which allows it to be rolled up, bent or twisted without reducing performance. The organic‐based devices also show remarkable tolerance towards moisture and impurities, production being possible in the normal laboratory environment.
