In this paper, we present the fabrication and characterization of highly flexible indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO)-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) and integrated circuits on a transparent and thin polymer substrate. Mechanical reliability tests are performed under bending conditions down to a bending radius of 2 mm. All the TFT parameters show only a weak dependence on mechanical strain. TFTs can withstand bending strain up to 0.75% without any significant change in the device operation. Mechanical reliability is further demonstrated to a higher TFT integration level by ring oscillators and 8-b transponder chips operating at a bending radius of 2 mm.
