A capacitively powered radio frequency identification device (10) comprises a substrate (12), a conductive pattern (14, 16) and a circuit (18). The substrate (12) has a first surface and a second surface. The conductive pattern is formed on the first surface of the substrate (12). The conductive pattern has a first electrode (14) and a second electrode (16). The first and second electrodes (14, 16) are isolated from each other by a non-conductive region disposed therebetween. The circuit (18) comprises polymers. The circuit (18) is electrically coupled to the first electrode (14) and the second electrode (16).
