Over the last years, research in the field of organic electronics has primarily targeted the development of more efficient and stable materials along with the optimization of parameters within common techniques, with the aim of achieving more competitive device performance. The development of novel processing technologies required for enabling industrial-scale, large-area and high-throughput manufacturing were consequently given less attention among researchers. In this thesis a generalized framework for the development of innovative processing technologies suitable for scalable manufacturing of solution-processable organic thin-film electronics is introduced. Three promising technologies, nanoimprint lithography, transfer printing, and spray deposition are in focus, rendering the core of this thesis. Their evaluation is performed within the context of application to polymer and carbon nanotube thin-film technologies.
