Abstract

A voltage‐regulator multilayer device based on teh conjugated polymer PAN (poly(5‐amino‐I‐naphthol)) sandwiched between silver and tin oxide electrodes is reported. It is shwon that after breakdown at Vcrit the devices is self‐regulatory, maintaining an approximately constant potential difference Vstab between the tin oxide and silver electrodes; Vcrit and Vstab depend on the polymer film thickness. The current–voltage characteristic is compared with that of another voltage regulator, the Zener diode.
