Doping‐induced solubility control (DISC) is a patterning technique for semiconducting polymers that utilizes the reduction in polymer solubility upon p‐type doping to provide direct, optical control of film topography and doping level with sub‐diffraction‐limited resolution. In article 1603221, A. J. Moulé and co‐workers demonstrate the optical dedoping of a patterned polymer film using a laser scanning confocal microscope, which could simplify the manufacture of organic transistors.
