Abstract The demand for high-frequency (HF) and low-cost rectifiers has encouraged many researchers to investigate organic rectifiers. Recently, organic rectifiers with enhanced intrinsic carrier mobility and charge injection efficiency have enabled operating frequencies to reach up to a gigahertz (GHz). The metal/organic and organic/organic interfaces have played a significant role in determining the electrical properties of the organic rectifiers. In this prospective article, we review the structure of organic rectifiers and present the current state-of-the-art to attain their HF performance. We discuss methods for improving their electrical properties using interface engineering and present future prospects for practical use of GHz-operable organic rectifiers.
Introduction During the last decade, organic semiconductors have gained considerable attention as an active layer for next-generation electronics due to ease in their patterning and their tunable molecular structure, flexibility, light-weight, and large-area applicability.[1–4] In particular, their promising potential lowcost is expected to begin an era of disposable electronics.[5,6] Organic radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, which can be used to detect objects automatically in the near-field region (13.56
