CIRCUIT ARCHITECTURE ON AN ORGANIC BASE AND RELATED MANUFACTURING METHOD
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- manufacturing an organic-based circuit architecture, the manufacturing including;
forming a first electrode;
depositing, on said first electrode, a first active material film that includes;
a first structural portion having a first absorption peak at a first UV wavelength, said first structural portion being photo-activatable at said first UV wavelength, andan electrically activatable second structural portion which is substantially transparent to said UV first wavelength;
photo-activating a first portion of said first active material film, the photo-activating including exposing the first portion through a photomask to a first UV radiation having said first UV wavelength, the first active material film also including a non-exposed second portion protected from the first UV radiation by the photomask;
exposing a portion of said first electrode by treating said first active material film with an first agent;
selectively removing one of the portions of said first active material film, either the exposed first portion or the non-exposed second portion; and
forming a second electrode on non-removed portions of the first active material film.

Abstract
A method comprises providing a bottom electrode, depositing, on the bottom electrode, an active material comprising a first structural portion having an absorption peak at a UV wavelength, wherein such first structural portion is photo-activatable at such wavelength and which is constituted by monomers or oligomers that, when irradiated at said wavelength, undergo a photo-polymerization and/or photo-cross-linking reaction, or constituted by a polymer that at a UV wavelength undergoes a photo-degradation reaction, and a second electrically active or activatable structural portion which is substantially transparent to such predetermined UV wavelength; exposing a portion of the active material, through a photomask, to UV radiation having such UV wavelength, with photo-activation of the exposed portion of such film; selectively removing either the exposed photo-activated portion or the non-exposed portion, with exposure of a respective portion of the bottom electrode; depositing a head electrode.
