As fabrication and positioning of micro-and nanocrystals grow in importance in a wide range technological applications, there is an increasing requirement for the development of a shared technological platform that is able to process materials from solutions on large areas. Here, the application of lithographically controlled wetting (LCW) for the manipulation and positioning of single crystals directly on devices is reported. In the LCW, a stamp, consisting of a metallic grid, is positioned in contact with a liquid thin film ...
