Patent ID: 7980195

Claim:
A system for creating integrated circuits, the system comprising: a spool for storing and feeding a flexible substrate through the system; a first module including at least one of a chamber-based processing device and a first printing device configured to deposit a first material such that the first material forms a plurality of contact pairs on the flexible substrate, each of the plurality of contact pairs comprising a source contact and a drain contact defining a channel region therebetween; a first coating module including an apparatus including one of a bath apparatus and a spray apparatus, said apparatus being configured to form a receiving surface over each of the plurality of contact pairs such that each said receiving surface includes at least one of a first modifier coating having a first predetermined surface energy on each of the plurality of contact pairs and a second modifier coating having a second predetermined surface energy on the flexible substrate in the channel region defined by each of the plurality of contact pairs; a second module including a second printing device configured to deposit a semiconductor printing fluid over the receiving surface of each of the plurality of contact pairs such that the deposited semiconductor printing fluid forms a semiconductor region extending over the channel region of each of the plurality of contact pairs.
