Abstract

Organic thin film transistors on shape memory polymers are fabricated by full photolithography. Devices show high mobility (0.2 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) and close to zero threshold voltage (-4.5 V) when characterized as fabricated. After 1, 10, and 100 deformation cycles and in a deformed, metastable shape memory transition state, changes in mobility and V(th) are measured and indicate sustained device functionality.
