Abstract: A method of producing a plurality of transistors each including a source/drain electrode pair comprising a conductor material and a channel comprising semiconductor material between the source and drain electrodes of said source/drain electrode pair; the method comprising (i) forming over a substrate at least a first layer of said conductor material or a precursor thereto and a second layer of said semiconductor material or a precursor thereto; and (ii) thereafter removing selected portions of at least said first and second layers so as to define at least two adjacent source/drain electrode pairs that are unconnected to each other within said first and second layers.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A process for fabricating an electronic device comprising the step of patterning a metallic electrode to the electronic device by laser ablation followed by electroless plating, wherein the process of fabricating the electronic device comprises at least one other laser patterning step over the area of the metallic electrode performed after said step of patterning the metallic electrode.

Abstract: An electronic device including first, second and third conductor layers respectively arranged as the source, drain and gate electrodes of a field effect transistor, the third conductor layer being capacitively coupled with both the first and second conductor layers but with the second conductor layer to a greater degree than with the first conductor layer, wherein the electronic device is operable as a non-linear capacitor by applying an alternating voltage across the third conductor layer and the first conductor layer whilst leaving the second conductor layer at a floating potential.
