Abstract

We discuss some recent advances in the use of organic semiconductor devices with additional or enhanced functionality beyond simple electrical switching. These include diodes that act as local temperature sensors or that filter reverse-bias currents at tens of megahertz frequency. Transistors are described with a range of sensing and reporting functions, for such properties as pressure, magnetic field, and chemical vapor. Because these devices will likely be employed in arrays and assemblies, we also present concepts of some larger, integrated components such as artificial skin, sensor arrays, and wireless power systems. The common theme of these devices is that they build on an extensive and growing understanding of the parent transistors and diodes, but represent a departure into new physical phenomena and application areas.
