Abstract

Electrical simulations of a single inverter circuit have been done to analyze effects on them of the active layer thickness of PTFTs. Unified model and extraction method was introduced in Smash simulator using Verilog-A. We validate results with measured characteristics of PTFTs fabricated with PMMA on P3HT. Transfer characteristic of the inverter is strongly depending on the active layer thickness.
