We have demonstrated the inverter operation of stacked-structure CMOS devices using pentacene and ZnO as active layers. The fabrication process of the device is as follows: A top-gate-type ZnO thin-film transistor (TFT), working as an n-channel transistor, was formed on a glass substrate. Then, a bottom-gate-type pentacene TFT, as a p-channel transistor, was fabricated on top of the ZnO TFT while sharing a common gate electrode. For both TFTs, solution-processed silicone-resin layers were used as gate dielectrics. The stacked-structure CMOS has several advantages, for example, easy patterning of active material, compact device area per stage and short interconnection length, as compared with the planar configuration in a conventional CMOS circuit.
