The implications for vastly reduced power consumption and costs are impressive
Transistors made of plastic can be controlled with great precision, according to an article in PNAS by Loïg Kergoat, a researcher at Linköping University in Sweden.
The Organic Electronics Research Group at Linköping University (LiU) in Sweden, led by Professor Magnus Berggren, attracted great attention a year ago when Lars Herlogsson showed in his doctoral thesis that it was possible to construct fully functional field-effect transistors out of plastic.
Kergoat, a post-doc in the same research group, now shows that transistors made of plastic can be controlled with great precision.
