Abstract
We demonstrate a novel organic antifuse technology on plastic at entirely plastic-compatible temperatures. All processes were performed at temperatures below 135 °C. Our memory cell consists of a printed organic transistor and an organic capacitor. The data in the memory cell are selectively programmed by electrically breaking the capacitor. The organic capacitor acts like as an antifuse capacitor because it is initially open and becomes permanently shorted by applying a high voltage. The memory data are read out by sensing the current in the memory cell. The printed organic one-time programmable memory is suitable for storing small amounts of data such as in low-cost radio-frequency identification tag.
