Patent ID: 7413997

Claim:
A process, comprising: providing a substrate having projections that define recessed regions, wherein: each of at least some of the projections has an upper surface and metallized flanks; each recessed region has a surface; the surface of each of at least some of the recessed regions is more wettable than the upper surface of each of at least some of the projections; and the surfaces of the recessed regions, the upper surfaces of the projections, and surfaces of the metallized flanks form a nanostructure surface that comprises a plurality of electrodes; and forming a first coating on the nanostructured surface by applying a first solution to the nanostructured surface to form a portion of an organic component; wherein: the first solution comprises a first dissolved substance and a first solvent; and the organic component is a component of a field effect transistor, a light emitting diode, or a photovoltaic cell.
