To apply the solution-processed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) to practical device manufacturing, there is a need for a processing technology capable of patterning organic semiconductors with high reproducibility and uniform shape in a large area. Herein, the facile, scalable strategy to fabricate poly(3-hexylthiopehene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) patterns through the flow-blade coating process. Controlling the stick–slip motion by the coffee-ring effect in low-/high-speed conditions induces the repetition of the advancing and receding of the contact line of the solution, which enables us to fabricate deposition of P3HT in low-speed regions and spacing in high-speed regions. Various surface-modified dielectrics with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) influenced the morphological properties of patterned P3HT and indicated that the optimum condition for OFETs was achieved in alkyl-terminated SAM-treated cases.
