ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,389,786, issued on Aug. 12, was assigned to The University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong).

"Utilizing monolayer molecular crystals to improve contact properties of organic field-effect transistors" was invented by Kwok Leung Chan (Hong Kong) and Boyu Peng (Hong Kong).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having an organic semiconductor material is provided. The method includes performing a large-area solution shearing step to form a monolayer (1L) or bi-layer (2L) C10-DNTT crystals with low shearing speed and forming Au electrodes by thermal evaporation on a wafer. The large-area solution shearing step...
