Inorganic-based Flexible Transistors for Circuits and Sensors

Abstract

Flexible electronics are of great interest in the fields of wearable electronics, Internet of Things (IoT) concept, and others, which require to monitor distribution of information from the surfaces. To realize the flexible electronics, a lot of developments are still required to achieve low-cost, macroscale, and high performance components on a flexible and/or stretchable film. In this study, inorganic-based flexible transistor devices are discussed using mainly nanomaterials on a flexible film. In addition to the flexible circuits, chemical sensor applications using an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor and charge-coupled device (CCD) are proposed.
