Abstract: A method for forming an organic semiconductor film having a high carrier mobility is provided by having an average volatilization rate of a solvent within a prescribed range during a step of drying, at the time of applying a coating solution, which includes an organic semiconductor material and a non-halogen solvent, on a substrate. In such forming method, characteristic fluctuation in repeated use of the organic semiconductor film is suppressed, and an organic thin film transistor having an excellent film forming characteristic even on an insulator with reduced gate voltage threshold can be obtained.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an organic thin film transistor exhibiting excellent semiconductor performance by which an organic TFT can be formed continuously on a flexible base such as a polymer support through a simple coating process, and thus the fabrication cost can be reduced sharply, and an organic semiconductor layer thus formed has a high carrier mobility, In the method of fabricating an organic thin film transistor by forming a gate electrode, a gate insulation layer, an organic semiconductor layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode sequentially on a support, the organic semiconductor layer contains an organic semiconductor material having an exothermic point and an endothermic point in a differential scanning thermal analysis, and the organic semiconductor layer thus formed is heat-treated at a temperature not less than the exothermic point and less than the endothermic point.
