Fully integrated organic layered processes for making plastic electronics based on conductive polymers and semiconductor nanowires

A transistor device comprising:

• a. a substrate;
• b. a conductive polymer layer deposited on said substrate, said conductive polymer layer including a plurality of nanowires at a sufficient density of nanowires to achieve an operational current level;
• c. a source and drain region defined in said conductive polymer layer;
• and
• d. a gate formed over said conductive polymer layer.

A process for making a transistor device, comprising:

• a. providing a device substrate;
• b. depositing a first conductive polymer layer on the device substrate;
• c. defining one or more gate contact regions in the conductive polymer layer;
• d. depositing a plurality of nanowires over the conductive polymer layer at a sufficient density of nanowires to achieve an operational current level;
• e. depositing a second conductive polymer layer on the plurality of nanowires;
• and
• f. forming source and drain contact regions in the second conductive polymer layer to thereby provide electrical connectivity to the plurality of nanowires, whereby the nanowires form a channel having a length between respective ones of the source and drain regions.
