Description

Advanced nanostructured materials such as organic and inorganic micro/nanostructures are excellent building blocks for electronics, optoelectronics, sensing, and photovoltaics because of their high-crystallinity, long aspect-ratio, high surface-to-volume ratio, and low dimensionality.

However, their assembly over large areas and integration in functional circuits are a matter of intensive investigation.

This Element provides detailed description of various technologies to realize micro/nanostructures based large-area electronics (LAE) devices on rigid or flexible/stretchable substrates.

The first section of this Element provides an introduction to the state-of-the-art integration techniques used to fabricate LAE devices based on different kind of micro/nanostructures.

The second section describes inorganic and organic micro/nanostructures, including most common and promising synthesis procedures.

In the third section,different techniques are explained that have great potential for integration of micro/nanostructures over large areas.

Finally, the fourth section summarizes important remarks about LAE devices based on micro/nanostructures, and future directions.
