Method and device for structuring organic layers
First Claim
1. A method for patterning an unpatterned organic layer comprising a layer-forming substance for use in organic circuits, the method comprising:
- applying a patterning device at a predetermined, elevated temperature and at a predetermined pressure to contact points on the organic layer, the layer-forming substance of the organic layer retreating from the contact points in response to the applied pressure and elevated temperature to thereby form depressions and/or holes in the organic layer.

Abstract
An unpatterned organic layer, which may be an insulator layer of an organic circuit, is patterned with a patterning arrangement, which preferably comprises a device, which patterns the layer at a predetermined temperature and at a predetermined pressure (a compression pressure) into the organic layer. The applying operation permanently patterns the organic layer with the patterning arrangement displaces the contact region of the organic layer displacing the contact region to form permanent open regions comprising depressions and/or holes corresponding to the dimensions of the pattern arrangement and which may be utilized as plated through holes.

8. A device for patterning an organic layer comprising a layer-forming substance for use in an organic circuits, the device comprising:
-
a support; and
a patterning arrangement coupled to the support and having predetermined dimensions, the patterning arrangement being arranged for being heated to a predetermined elevated temperature and for receiving a predetermined pressure for containing the layer-forming substance of the organic layer at the elevated temperature and predetermined pressure to displace the layer-forming substance such that depressions and/or holes are formed in the layer-forming substance, which depressions and/or holes essentially correspond to the dimensions of the patterning arrangement. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
