Abstract
All-polymer thin film transistor (TFT) circuits with via-holes and resistor s have been fabricated by an inkjet-printing technique. Solvent drops depos ited onto an insulating polymer by the inkjet technique are found to form a crater-like hole (see Figure), and the hole can act as a via-hole for a ve rtical interconnection. With this technique simple integrated circuits, suc h as inverters, can be created.
