A method for forming organic single‐crystal arrays from solution is demonstrated using an organic semiconductor, 3,9‐bis(4‐ethylphenyl)‐peri‐xanthenoxanthene (C 2 Ph‐PXX). Supersaturation of C 2 Ph‐PXX/tetralin solution is spatially changed by making a large difference in solvent evaporation to generate nuclei at the designated location. The method is simple to implement since it employs only a micropattern and control of the solvent vapor pressure during growth.
