  • Patent number: 8098208
    Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna configuration, comprising at least one electrically insulating carrier substrate and at least one electrically conductive layer applied on at least one side of the carrier substrate, the electrically conductive layer having a first area region and a second area region, and the first area region of the electrically conductive layer having the form of at least one antenna structure. The at least one antenna structure is present in a manner electrically insulated from the second area region of the electrically conductive layer, and the second area region of the electrically conductive layer is subdivided, at least in regions directly adjacent to the at least one antenna structure, into island regions that are at least electrically insulated from one another. The at least one antenna configuration is suitable for use for contactlessly coupled transponders, in particular for RFID Tags or Smart Tags.

  • Publication number: 20090189147
    Abstract: An unpatterned semiconductor layer is applied to a substrate for the production of an organic transistor. An insulator is arranged on the semiconductor layer wherein at least the insulator layer is patterned, so that at least source and drain electrode layers can be formed subsequently. The source and drain electrode layers are formed after the patterning of at least the insulator layer to ensures that an overlap of both a gate electrode layer and the source and drain electrode layers is essentially avoided.

  • Publication number: 20080197343
    Abstract: An electronic device, in particular an RFID transponder, comprises at least one logic gate, in which the logic gate is formed from a plurality of layers, which are applied on a common substrate, which layers comprise at least two electrode layers and at least one of the layers, in particular an organic layer, forms a semiconductor layer which is applied as a liquid, and an insulator layer and wherein the logic gate comprises at least two differently constructed field effect transistors. The field effect transistors are formed from a plurality of functional layers applied to a carrier substrate by printing or blade coating.

  • Patent number: 7223995
    Abstract: The invention makes it possible, for the first time, to produce, despite conventional p-type MOS technology, fast logical gates based on organic field effect transistors. This is primarily due to the early saturation effect of OFETs having very thin semi-conducting layers, and, furthermore, to the use of OFETs having specific properties as the organic logic components and to a novel layout of the circuit containing these logic components.

  • Publication number: 20060138701
    Abstract: An unpatterned organic layer, which may be an insulator layer of an organic circuit, is patterned with a patterning arrangement, which preferably comprises a device, which patterns the layer at a predetermined temperature and at a predetermined pressure (a compression pressure) into the organic layer. The applying operation permanently patterns the organic layer with the patterning arrangement displaces the contact region of the organic layer displacing the contact region to form permanent open regions comprising depressions and/or holes corresponding to the dimensions of the pattern arrangement and which may be utilized as plated through holes.
