  1. Circuit Yield of Organic Integrated Electronics ASIC Class Presentation By: Mohammad Mottaghi Based on a paper from ISSCC2003 All credits go to the original contributors.

  2. Motivations for organic elec… • Organic TFTs show poor performance compared to silicon CMOS • But organic TFTs also show the potential for extremely low cost production (printing) • Organic TFTs are in a stage of development as silicon MOSFETs were 30 years ago • Organic TFT electronics certainly will not replace CMOS • But organic TFT electronics may open new low cost / low performance (but high volume!) markets

  3. Polymer electronics • Low-end, high volume electronic applications, based on: • Mechanical flexibility • Low-cost • Large area • Potential applications: • Electronic barcodes • Memories • Displays (e-paper)

  19. Yield of organic circuits • Measured code generator yield

  20. Outline • Introduction: • Applications of organic ICs • Design of organic identification tags • Yield of organic circuits: • Measurements • Analysis • Improvement by design • Conclusions

  21. Yield of organic circuits • Possible causes of yield loss • Hard faults • Less then one vertical short /20mm2 • Parameter spread is too large • No experimental evidence • Parameter values result in small noise margin for the logic style used • Small parameter variations can make the gate fail

  32. Yield of organic circuits • Yield improvement by design Use of a level shifter to move the trip level

  33. Yield of organic circuits • Test vehicle: a shift register IC

  34. Yield of organic circuits • Test vehicle: a shift register IC

  35. Yield of organic circuits • Shift register IC: measurement results

  36. Yield of organic circuits • Output of a 32 stage shift register employing level shifters • Largest organic circuit to date (1888 transistors)

  37. Yield of organic circuits • Shift register IC: preliminary yield results • Shift register without level shifter: functional but still no circuit with more than two working FFs • Shift register with level shifter: 30% yield on the 32 FF circuit

  38. Conclusions • The main causes of the low yield have been understood • The new circuit solution shows a substantially better yield • The most complex organic circuit to date has been measured
