The invention relates to ecosustainable and biocompatible, low cost, ambient friendly electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as transistors and light-emitting transistors, made with silk fibroin or blended with other biopolymers, methods for fabrication and methods of using the silk-based electronics and optoelectronics. The silk-based electronics and optoelectronics can be implanted in vivo and in vitro for biomedical applications, such as for drug discovery or drug screening assays and devices. The silk-based devices may be used in the food industry and embedded in packaging for tracking and sensing, for security purposes or exploited as disposable not harmful for the environment efficient general electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Silk transistor devices

The present invention relates to a device comprising an organic field effect transistor (OFET) with charge injecting contacts containing a semiconductor layer formed by a perylene derivative, to uses of said device as a medical sensor and/or as a medical cell stimulator and to methods of stimulating and/or monitoring biological cellular activity by using said device.
