METHOD OF FORMING ELECTRODE AND DEVICE FOR FORMING ELECTRODE FOR ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTOR, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTOR, AND ORGANIC THIN FILM TRANSISTOR

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technique with which an electrode that has no level difference with the surrounding area can be formed by a simpler manufacturing process. A method of forming an electrode for an organic thin film transistor and a method of manufacturing an organic thin film transistor according to the present invention include: a step (step S102) of preparing a base layer formed from an electrically insulating resin material; a step (step S104) of partially applying an application liquid that contains a solvent which softens the resin material composing the base layer and a conductive electrode material on a surface of the base layer in a pattern according to the shape of an electrode; a step (step S104) of pressing the unsolidified application liquid against the base layer; and a step (step S105) of solidifying the application liquid by volatilizing the solvent and forming the electrode.
