Organic transistors and circuitry with micrometer‐scale critical dimensions generated with high‐resolution and at low cost is the aim of the research described here. Microcontact printing is used to pattern source and drain electrodes and the appropriate interconnections at 1 μm resolution. The remaining components are then patterned on top of these electrodes using low‐resolution techniques. This new strategy has many of the characteristics necessary for rapid, reel‐to‐reel processing, which is important for the cost‐effective exploitation of organic molecules in microelectronics.
