1. A method comprising:
providing at least one organic semiconductor device having at least some organic semiconductor material wherein the organic semiconductor device exhibits significant electrical performance degradation when the organic semiconductor material is exposed to at least a first given condition;
disposing a barrier between the organic semiconductor material and local environment to protect the organic semiconductor material from the given condition in the local environment, wherein disposing a barrier further comprises disposing a barrier between the organic semiconductor material and the local environment such that the organic semiconductor device is substantially protected for only a temporary predetermined maximum period of time from electrical performance degradation due to the first given condition in the local environment.
