  • Patent number: 8895960
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided and includes a field effect transistor having a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a channel forming region composed of an organic semiconductor material layer and a source/drain electrode made of a metal. A portion of the source/drain electrode in contact with the organic semiconductor material layer comprising the channel forming region is covered with an electrode coating material. Because the electrode coating material is composed of organic molecules having a functional group which can be bound to a metal ion and a functional group that binds to the source/drain electrode composed of the metal, low contact resistance and high mobility can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 8742409
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a thin film transistor of a top-contact structure with suppressed deterioration by a process which is easy and suitable for increase in area without damaging an organic semiconductor pattern. The organic semiconductor pattern is formed on a substrate. An electrode material film is formed on the substrate so as to cover the organic semiconductor pattern. A resist pattern is formed on the electrode material film. By wet etching using the resist pattern as a mask, the electrode material film is patterned. By the process, a source electrode and a drain electrode are formed.
