We report on a two-dimensional highly ordered self-assembled monolayer (SAM) directly grown on a bare polymer surface. Semiconducting SAMs are utilized in field-effect transistors and combined into integrated circuits as 4-bit code generators. The driving force to form highly ordered SAMs is packing of the liquid crystalline molecules caused by the interactions between the linear alkane moieties and the π-π stacking of the conjugated thiophene units. The fully functional circuits demonstrate long-range order over large areas, which can be regarded as the start of flexible monolayer electronics. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
