ABSTRACT:
A method fabricates ICs in which organic semiconductor crystallites serve as active channels of semiconductor devices. The method includes providing a substrate with a surface that has a preselected pattern of adhesion sites located thereon. The adhesion sites are prepared to adhere crystallites of an organic semiconductor. The method also includes applying a plurality of crystallites of the organic semiconductor to the surface to enable a portion of the applied crystallites to adhere at the prepared adhesion sites.
