Thin-film transistor (TFT) circuits are important for flexible electronics which are promising in the area of wearable devices and Internet of Things. However, most flexible TFT technologies only have unipolar devices and the process variation and defective rate are relatively high, which impose challenges to TFT circuit design. In this paper, we propose a novel logic array design based on pseudo-CMOS logic to address the problems of unipolar TFT circuit design. A multi-layer interconnection architecture is presented to improve the routability of circuit and the area efficiency. Cell mapping and wire routing algorithms, which aim to map the logic gates of circuit to logic array and then route the interconnection wires, are devised to improve the performance of circuit in consideration of parameter variations of TFT and meanwhile enhance the routability. The experimental results show that the proposed logic array along with design methodologies can reduce more than 80% area compared with transistor level scheme and help to improve performance significantly.
