In situ growing and patterning of aligned organic nanowire arrays via dip coating.

Aligned organic nanowire arrays are grown in situ and patterned via dip coating. By optimizing the stick-slip motion, the solvent evaporation conditions, and the solution concentration, parallel organic nanowire arrays with tunable length and desirable density and periodicity are directly grown and aligned on the substrate. Organic FETs based on the organic nanowire array have been successfully fabricated with a mobility of 1 x 10(-4) cm(2) .V(-1).s(-1).
