Organic diodes manufactured on a plastic substrate capable of rectifying a high‐frequency radio‐frequency identification signal (13.56 MHz), with sufficient power to operate an interactive smart tag, are reported. A high‐performance conjugated semiconductor (an indacenodithiophene‐benzothiadiazole copolymer) is combined with a carefully optimized architecture to satisfy the electrical requirements for an organic‐semiconductor‐based logic chip.
