  • Publication number: 20100021622
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for forming multilayer polymer thin film. The method uses a solution container with a gap to prevent the huge amount of solution from directly falling on the first layer. Then the wet film is formed by moving the container with the thin film thickness is decided by the distance between the gap and the substrate. The wet film is dried in a very short time by the heater therefore there is no time for the second solvent to dissolve the first layer. The method can effectively achieve the large-area and multilayer structure in organic devices through solution processing.
