Abstract
A flexible, large-area pressure sensor suitable for artificial-skin applications is fabricated using organic transistors and rubbery sensors. Row decoders, column selectors and a pressure-sensitive array comprise the IC. Design customization is introduced by making the circuit scalable and realizing an arbitrary sensor area. Both sensor and circuit use the same sheet of organic circuits, so cutting and pasting with a connecting plastic tape is feasible.
