ABSTRACT:
A thin film Zener diode, comprising:(a) a thin film comprised of at least one layer including at least one organic material; and(b) first and second electrodes in contact with respective opposite sides of the thin film, wherein the materials of the first and second electrodes and the thickness of the thin film are selected to provide a pre-selected Zener threshhold voltage.
