(a) PEDOT coated PDMS mold is placed in contact with the PUA coated flexible substrate, and (b) it is UV printed. (c) Upon removing the PDMS mold, PEDOT source-drain layers are transferred onto the substrate. (d) Active and dielectric layers are spin coated in sequence. [(e) and (f)] Using PEDOT coated glass substrate, self-aligned gate layer is contact printed on the dielectric layer. First citation in article
