After more than 25 years of intense academic and industrial research worldwide, the class of organic Materials, conjugated polymers and organic molecular systems, have reached a very high level of interesting materials properties and the potential for different industrial applications is now strongly emerging. The quality and the chemical purity of these new semiconducting materials have been improved dramatically over the last 10 years. These organic materials are the basis of organic electronics and optoelectronics (Resistors, capacitors, diodes, photodiodes, light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors and optically pumped solid-state lasers). Organic materials and organic electronics have number of advantages: light-weight, flexible, low-temperature processes and compatible with a variety of substrates (plastic, paper, textiles). To tailor the function and tune the parameters of certain organic electronic components  novel and cost efficient structuring techniques like self-assembly, soft-lithography, nanoimprint-lithography and variations are used. The 3D-multiphoton structuring technique allows the free structuring of materials and tools. In the presentation an insight into different nanotechnological processes and structuring techniques for the realization of organic electronic and optoelectronic devices is given.
