This technology is mechanically flexible, bendable, stretchable and does not need any rigid chips. Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) technology is applied. At 2 V supply and gate length of 0.5 µm, the thin-film transistors (TFTs) yield a measured transit frequency of 138 MHz. Our scalable TFT compact simulation model shows good agreement with measurements. To achieve a sufficiently high yield, TFTs with gate lengths of around 5 µm are used for the circuit design. A Cherry Hopper amplifier with 3.5 MHz bandwidth, 10 dB gain and 5 mW dc power is presented. The fully integrated receiver covering a plastic foil area of 3 × 9 mm2 includes a four stage cascode amplifier, an amplitude detector, a baseband amplifier and a filter. At a dc current of 7.2 mA and a supply of 5 V, a bandwidth of 2 – 20 MHz and a gain beyond 15 dB were measured. Finally, an outlook regarding future advancements of high frequency electronics on plastic is given.
