Next Chips: Organic Transistors and Memories and the Applications They Will Enable

A Note on Organic Memory
OTFTs are the “logic” part of the emerging organic electronics paradigm, but this paradigm would not be complete without organic memory. Over the years, printed and organic memories have attracted attention of an impressive list of firms that includes AMD, H-P, Infineon, Intel, PolyIC, Philips, Xerox, Canon, Dai Nippon Printing, Matsushita, Pioneer, and Ricoh. However, there has been little to see by way of commercialization. Organic memories were proposed as a flash memory replacement a few years back - both Intel and AMD were quite interested in them at the time - but did not prove up to the task. They are now seeing a revival in a slightly different form as the memory solution for TOP electronics.
