Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for preparing improved electronic devices, in particular organic field effect transistors (OFETs), with patterned insulator and organic semiconductor layers.
Claims14
Process for preparing an organic electronic device, comprising the steps of
- depositing an insulator layer comprising a cross-linkable dielectric material onto a substrate or onto another layer of said OE device,
- exposing one or more areas of the insulator layer to a first radiation dosage, or to a first thermal energy, that causes partial but not complete cross-linking of the dielectric material,
- exposing one or more, but not all, areas of the insulator layer to a second radiation dosage, or to a second thermal energy, that causes a higher degree of cross-linking of the dielectric material than the exposure to the first radiation dosage or the first thermal energy,
- wherein the sequence of the two exposure steps can also be reversed,
- depositing an organic semiconductor (OSC) layer onto at least a part of the insulator layer,
- so that the OSC layer is in direct contact with at least a part of the areas of the insulator layer having a higher degree of cross-linking of the dielectric material.
