Abstract

Electronic devices having two or more conductive contacts or terminals and methods of making the same. Including having a conducting interconnect line coated with an insulator stack (functionalized to be hydrophobic), cut—simultaneously allowing for one step, self-aligned, patterning of formed conducting contacts and the insulation stack. The combination of the cut in the insulation, along with the low surface energy of the insulating surface allow for active material to be deposited at the cut site defining the channel.
