A major obstacle to the development of organic transistors for large-area sensor, display, and circuit applications is the fundamental compromise between manufacturing efficiency, transistor performance, and power consumption. In the past, improving the manufacturing efficiency through the use of printing techniques has inevitably resulted in significantly lower performance and increased power consumption, while attempts to improve performance or reduce power have led to higher process temperatures and increased manufacturing cost. Here, we lift this fundamental limitation by demonstrating subfemtoliter inkjet printing to define metal contacts with single-micrometer resolution on the surface of high-mobility organic semiconductors to create high-performance p-channel and n-channel transistors and low-power complementary circuits. The transistors employ an ultrathin low-temperature gate dielectric based on a self-assembled monolayer that allows transistors and circuits on rigid and flexible substrates to operate with very low voltages.inkjet printing ͉ organic electronics ͉ self-assembled monolayer T o realize a sustainable society, it is imperative that industrial manufacturing processes undergo a transformation with minimal impact on the environment. From this viewpoint, emerging printable electronics technology (1-6) has attracted considerable attention because it has the potential to drastically reduce ecological footprints and the energy consumed in manufacturing. Moreover, this technology is expected to reduce the material wastage that results from the use of a particular quantity of ink at a certain location.In particular, digital fabrication that employs inkjet technology is expected to play an important role in industrial manufacturing processes because this technique can be applied for patterning high-purity electrically functional materials without preparing original patterning masks (7,8). This application would consequently lead to a reduction in manufacturing costs and/or turnaround time. Inkjet technology has recently proliferated into the area of mass production of color filters for liquid crystal displays (9, 10); this further indicates that this would be the right time for the emergence of printed electronics.However, there still exists a rather wide gap between the resolution required for high-performance electronic devices, such as transistors, and the typical resolution of conventional inkjet printers. For example, microprocessors based on singlecrystal silicon field-effect transistors with a gate length of 32 nm are now in mass production (11), and active-matrix liquidcrystal displays in notebook computers and f lat-screen television sets employ amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors (TFTs) with a channel length of Ϸ2 m. On the other hand, an inkjet print head typically maintains a discharge volume on the order of several picoliters, which creates dots with a minimum diameter of Ϸ30 -50 m on regular paper. The minimum size of a droplet ejected from an inkjet head determines the printing res...
