Abstract
An integrated circuit device comprising: a current drive switching element having an input electrode, an output electrode, a switchable region comprising a semiconductive polymer material electrically coupled between the input electrode and the output electrode, and a control electrode electrically coupled to the switchable region so as to allow the application of a bias to the control electrode to vary the flow of current through the switchable region between the input electrode and the output electrode; and a second circuit element integrated with the switching element, and electrically coupled with the input electrode of the switching element for receiving a drive current from the switching element.
