An organic semiconductor device (11) can be embedded within a printed wiring board (10). In various embodiments, the embedded device (11) can be accompanied by other organic semiconductor devices (31) and/or passive electrical components (26). When so embedded, conductive vias (41, 42, 43) can be used to facilitate electrical connection to the embedded device. In various embodiments, specific categories of materials and/or processing steps are used to facilitate the making of organic semiconductors and/or passive electrical components, embedded or otherwise.
