Low cost and ecological printing methods for mass production of thin, light, flexible electronic devices
incorporating organic semiconductors are key to the further integration of electronics into everyday life. In
this light, we have developed an all-solution fabrication process for plastic electronics devices, in which all
components of devices spontaneously assemble with desired geometry. By formation of surface molecular
template composed of self-assembled monolayers, complete arrays of organic field-effect transistors
including gate electrodes, source and drain electrodes, and organic semiconductor layers have been patterned
from solution phase with excellent operational characteristics on a plastic substrate. This bottom-up method of
device fabrication, in which the functional properties of molecules are utilized for their spontaneous
assembly, may become a core technology for plastic electronics. In this paper, we describe the principles of
the surface-selective deposition technique and its application to electronic device production processes.
