Patterned growth of large oriented organic semiconductor single crystals on self-assembled monolayer templates.
This work demonstrates a method for inducing site-specific nucleation and subsequent growth of large oriented organic semiconductor single crystals using micropatterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). We demonstrate growth of oriented, patterned, and large organic semiconductor single crystals for potential use in organic electronic devices. The control over multiple parameters in a single system has not yet been reported. The ability to control various aspects of crystal growth in one system provides a powerful technique for the bottom-up fabrication of organic single-crystal semiconductor devices.
