Abstract

Summary form only given. RF-ID tags with organic semiconductors require the development of several types of devices and components. In particular, apart from logic gates, a tag also requires memory and power management. In a passive tag, that draws energy from the RF field of the reader coil, the power management includes a rectifier to generate the DC supply voltage for the circuit. In this presentation, we discuss our progress in logic, memory and rectifiers using organic semiconductors. For logic and rectifying diodes, we employ evaporated pentacene. Memory devices are based the cross-point concept, with impedance switching of the charge-transfer complex material CuTCNQ.
