Abstrakt: Advanced neurostimulation systems require intimate interface with brain or peripheral nervous system to provide a therapeutic modulation for patients experiencing neural function loss. To achieve these, it requires stimulators with high‐channel counts and mechanical flexibility. In this invited paper, we showed a 4T1C neurostimulation pixel circuit with an active‐matrix architecture, offering the opportunity for high‐channel counts. In addition, a 4‐mask photolithographic process for highly uniform organic thin‐film transistor (OTFT) integrated system was demonstrated for mechanical flexibility, which shows a high device yield of 100% (50/50) and small device variation in threshold voltage of 0.64 V and in mobility of 4.9%. By implementing OTFTs to this novel neurostimulation architecture, we fabricated an OTFT‐based high‐channel‐count neurostimulation system, showing a high stimulator yield of 71.0% and small variation of 15.6% for the output stimulation currents among pixels.
