  • Publication number: 20130143357
    Abstract: There is provided a method of forming an organic thin film, capable of forming a single-crystal organic thin film easily and rapidly while controlling a thickness and a size. After an organic solution is supplied to one surface (a solution accumulating region wide in width, and a solution constricting region narrow in width and connected thereto) of a film-formation substrate supported by a support controllable in temperature, a movable body controllable in temperature independently of the support is moved along a surface of the support while being kept in contact with the organic solution. The temperature of the support is set at a temperature positioned between a solubility curve and a super-solubility curve concerning the organic solution, and the temperature of the movable body is set at a temperature positioned on a side higher in temperature than the solubility curve.

  • Patent number: 8075125
    Abstract: An ink containing a hydrophobic colloid charged with a positive zeta potential when the pH of the ink is within a range of over 4 and under 6. Silicon or silicon compound can be limited from being eluted into the ink from a circuit board formed from a silicon wafer or the like. Additionally, silicon or silicon compound, if eluted into the ink can be prevented from being deposited on a resistance heater and causing “cogation”, or to prevent the silicon or silicon compound from being deposited in an ink channel and nozzle to clog the nozzle.
