Highly ordered organic semiconductor single-crystal (OSSC) arrays are ideal building blocks for functional organic devices. However, most of the current methods are only applicable to fabricate OSSC arrays of a single component, which significantly hinders the application of OSSC arrays in integrated organic circuits. Here, we present a universal approach, termed three-dimensional (3D) wettability-induced sequential assembly that can programmatically and progressively manipulate the crystallization locations of different organic semiconductors at the same spatial position using a 3D microchannel template, for the fabrication of the two-component OSSC arrays. As an example, we successfully prepared two-component, bilayer structured OSSC arrays consisting of n-type ,'-bis(2-phenylethyl)-perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide and p-type 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene microbelts. The bicomponent OSSCs show ambipolar carrier transport properties with hole and electron mobilities of 0.342 and 0.526 cm V s, respectively. Construction of complementary inverters is further demonstrated based on the two-component OSSCs. The capability of integration of multicomponent OSSC arrays opens up unique opportunities for future high-performance organic complementary circuits.

The study of organic semiconductor single crystal (OSSC) arrays has recently attracted considerable interest given their potential applications in flexible displays, smart wearable devices, biochemical sensors, etc. Patterning of OSSCs is the prerequisite for the realization of organic integrated circuits. Patterned OSSCs can not only decrease the crosstalk between adjacent organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), but also can be conveniently integrated with other device elements which facilitate circuits application.

High-performance phototransistors made from organic semiconductor single crystals (OSSCs) have attracted much attention due to the high responsivity and solution-processing capability of OSSCs. However, OSSC-based phototransistors capable of dual-band spectral response remain a difficult challenge to achieve because organic semiconductors usually possess only narrow single-band absorption. Here, we report the fabrication of high-performance, dual-band phototransistors from a hybrid structure of a 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2- b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) single-crystal array coated with CHNHPbI nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a simple, one-step solution method.

microRNA expression patterns have provided new directions in the search of biomarkers with prognostic value and even in the search of novel therapeutic targets for several neoplasms. Specifically, miRNAs profiling in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents a web of intrigue in the study of oral carcinogenesis. The objective of the present study was twofold:The first study phase comprised case-control groups: A) 8 OSCC-affected patients and 8 healthy controls.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an aggressive neoplasm. Many chromosomal and gene alterations have been identified in OSCC, including structural and numerical changes. In this study, we implemented a molecular assay of chromosome 7 (Chr7) in order to investigate the level of its numerical instability in OSCC.
