We introduce direct laser printing of functional electronics composed of conductive (Pt and Ag) and semiconducting (ZnO) materials with minimum feature sizes well below 1 µm. Our proof-of-principle experiments include diodes, transistors, memristors, and memristor-crossbar circuits forming a physically unclonable function. We emphasize that no sintering or other post-processing steps are necessary; the focused laser performs the lateral/vertical structuring as well as the material sintering. We expect that our laser-printing technique can be extended to many other semiconductor materials. Moreover, it can be combined with ink-jet printing. Therefore, laser printing provides a promising avenue for digitally printed electronics.
