  • Publication number: 20070145480
    Abstract: A method of forming an electrode of a semiconductor device is provided. A material layer comprising an organo-metallic compound is first formed on a substrate. Thereafter, an electrode is formed by irradiating the material layer through utilizing the heating property of laser. Next, the material layer is patterned by utilizing the photochemical or heating properties of laser using a laser. Because laser irradiation is substituted the traditional heating way, it can reduce process temperature. Furthermore, because the laser is used for patterning the material layer to form the electrode, therefore an electrode pattern with a greater precision may be obtained compared to that obtained by using the photolithography process.
