Investigating Different Circuit Styles for Digital Circuits Using Organic Transistors

In search of low cost and flexible substrates organic transistors have been suggested as an alternate to silicon transistors. Level 1 model extraction, investigating different circuit styles and proposing two new circuit styles for organic integrated circuits is done in this paper. First, level 1 model of organic transistor is found using ID-VDS characteristics of transistors reported by C. D. Dimitrakopoulos and D. J. Mascaro (2001). After that different design styles used in CMOS digital integrated circuits are reviewed and the functionality of these styles for organic integrated circuits is investigated. Two new circuit styles have been proposed in this section which have better performance for organic circuits comparing with conventional CMOS circuits styles. Finally a full adder is designed and simulated using the proposed styles.
