Inkjet printing as deposition method for organic materials in electronic devices promises to be a low-cost production technology in future. The advantage of this technique is the ability to deposit a small amount of material on defined areas on substrates, e.g. for the preparation of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) or organic solar cells (OSCs). As a special application the use of 3D-nanostructured electrodes on flexible substrates as a high voltage source could be already demonstrated [Adv. Mater. 20, 4055]. The deposition of material layers is especially influenced by the capillary forces of the electrode structures and by the formation of inhomogeneous layers. Here, we present our results on the development of an inkjet printing process for semiconductor materials on nano- and microstructured substrates. The capillary forces resulting from the structure of the substrates as well as the solvents of the ink were examined for the development of the printing process. The prepared layers were analysed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fabrication of smooth layers within the microstructure will be demonstrated as well as first results of photovoltaic cells on nanostructured substrates.
