Abstract: An organic inverter and a method of manufacturing the same are provided, which regulates threshold voltages depending on positions when an inverter circuit is manufactured on a substrate using an organic semiconductor. To form a depletion load transistor and an enhancement driver transistor at adjacent positions of the same substrate, the surface of the substrate is selectively treated by positions or selectively applied by self-assembly monolayer treatment. Thus, a D-inverter having a combination of a depletion mode and an enhancement mode is more easily realized than a conventional method using a transistor size effect. Also, the D-inverter can be realized even with the same W/L ratio, thereby increasing integration density. That is, the W/L ratio does not need to be increased to manufacture a depletion load transistor, thereby improving integration density.

Abstract: Provided are a structure and fabricating method of a new inverter for controlling a threshold voltage of each location when an inverter circuit is manufactured using an organic semiconductor on a plastic substrate. In general, p-type organic semiconductor is stable. Accordingly, when the inverter is formed of only the p-type semiconductor, a D-inverter composed of a depletion load and an enhancement driver has large gains, wide swing width and low power consumption, which is more preferable than an E-inverter composed of an enhancement load and an enhancement driver. However, it is impossible to form a depletion transistor and an enhancement transistor on the same substrate while controlling them by locations.

Abstract: Provided is an inverter having a new structure capable of easily controlling a threshold voltage according to position in fabricating an inverter circuit on a plastic substrate using an organic semiconductor. A driver transistor is formed with a dual-gate structure and a positive bias voltage is applied to the top gate of the driver transistor so that a body effect appears in the organic semiconductor. Accordingly, the threshold voltage is shifted to a negative zone due to positive potential applied to the top gate of the driver transistor so that the driver transistor acts as an enhancement type transistor. A dual-gate organic structure may be applied to a load transistor rather than the driver transistor, or a p-type dual-gate organic transistor structure may be applied to both the driver transistor and the load transistor.
