On the way to plastic electronics: polymer-based DRAM

Smaller, lighter, more compact devices that can do more and more, work faster, and juggle more data -- these demands are pushing conventional semiconductor technology up against its limits. In the future, plastics will have to take over. A number of polymeric electronic components have already been made. Researchers at the National University of Singapore and the Institute of Microelectronics in Singapore have now successfully produced DRAM storage based on a plastic.
