ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE

摘要

A supported or self-supporting electrochemical transistor device comprises active element having a transistor channel made of organic material that has an ability of altering its conductivity through change of redox state. A solidified electrolyte is interposed between the active element and a gate electrode to prevent electron flow which is controllable by a voltage applied to the gate electrode(s). An electrochemical transistor device comprises source and drain contacts (1, 2), gate electrode(s) (4), electrochemically active element (3) and solidified electrolyte (5). The active element is in direct contact with and arranged between the source and drain contacts. It comprises a transistor channel made of organic material having the ability of altering its conductivity through change of redox state. The electrolyte is in electrical contact with and interposed between the active element and the gate electrode so that flow of electrons is prevented between the active element and the gate electrode. The flow of electrons between source contact and drain contact is controllable by a voltage applied to the gate electrode(s). An Independent claim is also included for a process of producing the above supported electrochemical transistor device.
