Towards Flexible All-Carbon Electronics:Flexible Organic Field-Effect Transistors and Inverter Circuits Using Solution-Processed All-Graphene Source/Drain/Gate Electrodes

Flexible organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)using solution-processable functionalized graphene for all the electrodes(source,drain,and gate)have been fabricated for the first time.These OFETs show performance comparable to corresponding devices using Au electrodes as the source/drain electrodes on SiO2/Si substrates with Si as the gate electrode.Also,these devices demonstrate excellent flexibility without performance degradation over severe bending cycles.Furthermore,inverter circuits have been designed and fabricated using these all-graphene-electrode OFETs.Our results demonstrate that the long-sought dream for all-carbon and flexible electronics is now much closer to reality.
