1. Organic field effect transistor, comprising:
- a flexible substrate;
a first layer on the substrate;
source and drain electrodes and a semiconductor in the first layer;
an insulator forming a second layer on the first layer, the insulator being pattern-formed and formed from an insulator material crosslinked with a crosslinker in the presence of a photoinitiator, the insulator pattern being produced by crosslinking the insulator in the desired pattern by photolithography with uncrosslinked insulator outside the pattern and then removing the uncrosslinked insulator material; and
a gate electrode on the second layer forming a third layer.

Abstract
The invention relates to an organic field effect transistor which is especially characterized by a cross-linked, structured insulating layer (4) on which the gate electrode (5) is arranged. The structure of the OFET ensures that the gate electrode (5) of an OFET can be used as a strip conductor to the source electrode (2) of the next transistor and can be used in the construction of larger circuits.

13. Method far producing an organic field effect transistor comprising:
-
providing a flexible substrate with a source and drain electrode and a semiconductor; forming an insulator from an insulator material crosslinked with a crosslinker in the presence of a photoinitiator by applying an insulator material solution containing an acid-sensitive crosslinker and a photoinitiator to the semiconductor; exposing the insulator through a shadow mask covering the source and drain electrodes; patterning the insulator pattern by crosslinking the insulator in the desired pattern by photolithography with uncrosslinked insulator outside the pattern and then removing the uncrosslinked insulator material including baking to effect the crosslinking and patterning of the insulator at the exposed areas; and depositing a gate electrode on the thus crosslinked and patterned insulator. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
