Patent ID: 7947612

Claim:
A method of producing an array of electronic devices, the method including the steps of: forming one or more first conductive elements of a first electronic device on a substrate and one or more second conductive elements of a second electronic device on said substrate; and forming a layer of channel material over the substrate and the first and second conductive elements to provide a first channel for, in use, the movement of charge carriers between conductive elements of said first electronic device and a second channel for, in use, the movement of charge carriers between conductive elements of said second electronic device; wherein the method also includes the step (a) of using an irradiative technique to decrease in a single step the conductivity of one or more selected portions of the layer of channel material in one or more regions between the first and second conductive elements wherein step (a) includes using an irradiative technique to remove in a single step said one or more selected portions of the layer of channel material to thereby reduce the conductivity of said one or more selected portions, and wherein said selected portions include one or more portions underlying a conductive line.
