Abstract: A method is provided for producing a mask arrangement that is used for additive forming of organic semiconductor material regions on a substrate. The mask arrangement is formed by applying a photocrosslinkable polymer material to a mask carrier region, exposing it in a controlled and selective and thereby patterned manner and subsequently developing it. The developing process facilitates the removal of polymer material regions that are not exposed, and have not been photocrosslinked, from surface regions of the mask carrier region such that the desired mask arrangement is produced.

Abstract: A semiconductor component has at least one organic semiconductor layer. The component also includes at least one protective layer for at least partially covering the at least one organic semiconductor layer to protect against environmental influences. The at least one protective layer contains a proportion of an alkane with CnH2n+1 and n greater than or equal to 15 or consists entirely of an alkane of this type, or of a mixture of alkanes of this type. In one example, the protective layer is a paraffin wax. This creates a high resistance to moisture.
