Organic Single‐Crystalline Ribbons of a Rigid “H”‐type Anthracene Derivative and High‐Performance, Short‐Channel Field‐Effect Transistors of Individual Micro/Nanometer‐Sized Ribbons Fabricated by an “Organic Ribbon Mask” Technique

Abstract
The synthesis of a rigid, planar H‐type anthracene derivative is described. Single‐crystalline ribbons at micro‐ and nanometer sizes can be controllably produced and transistors based on an individual ribbon can be fabricated in situ through a newly developed “organic ribbon mask” method, in which the channel length of the transistors can be easily scaled down to sub‐micrometer level.
