Transistors (FETs) printed onto paper... the specs are supposed to rival those of today's thin-film type.

I wonder how absorption of ambient moisture into the paper affects the performance, i.e. leakage currents and capacitive effects.

These guys used paper as a substrate back in 2002.


I hope that babelfish can translate parts of the article. Try this paragraph, it is the fourth paragraph in the article:

Till skillnad från transistorerna som finns i dagens integrerade kretsar är papperstransistorn helt platt, tvådimensionell. Den tar litet större utrymme men är nödvändigt eftersom papprets skrovliga yta inte är lämplig för arbete i tre dimensioner. Fördelen är att man slipper flera lager och därmed kan trycka transistorn i ett enda moment.
