Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transistor manufacturing method includes forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on a substrate, forming a layer including an insulator layer to cover the source electrode and the drain electrode, and forming a gate electrode on the layer including the insulator layer, wherein the forming the gate electrode includes forming a plating base film, forming a protection layer of the plating base film, forming a photoresist layer on the protection layer to expose the photoresist layer with desired patterning light, causing the exposed photoresist layer to come into contact with a developer to remove the photoresist layer and the protection layer until the plating base film is uncovered corresponding to the patterning light, and after depositing a metal on the uncovered plating base film, causing an electroless plating solution to come into contact with the plating base film to perform electroless plating.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A transistor manufacturing method comprising: forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on a substrate; forming a layer including an insulator layer to cover the source electrode and the drain electrode; and forming a gate electrode on the layer including the insulator layer, wherein the forming the gate electrode comprises applying a liquid body including a first formation material on at least part of the layer including the insulator layer to form a plating base film; applying a liquid body including a second formation material on at least part of a surface of the plating base film to form a protection layer of the plating base film; forming a photoresist layer that includes a photoresist material on a surface of the protection layer to expose the photoresist layer with desired patterning light; causing the exposed photoresist layer to come into contact with a developer to remove the photoresist layer and the protection layer until the plating base film is uncovered corresponding to the patterning light; and after depositing a metal as a catalyst for electroless plating on a surface of the uncovered plating base film, causing an electroless plating solution to come into contact with the surface of the plating base film to perform electroless plating. 2 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the second formation material has smaller solubility in the developer than the first formation material. 3 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the second formation material is an organic silicon compound having a hydrolysis group that is bonded to a silicon atom. 4 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the second formation material is an organic silicon compound having one hydrolysis group that is bonded to the silicon atom. 5 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the second formation material is an organic silicon compound having two or three hydrolysis groups that are bonded to the silicon atom. 6 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first formation material is a silane coupling agent that includes a group having at least one of a nitrogen atom and a sulfur atom. 7 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 6 , wherein the silane coupling agent has an amino group. 8 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 7 , wherein the silane coupling agent is a primary amine or a secondary amine. 9 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is made of a non-metallic material. 10 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 9 , wherein the substrate is made of a resin material. 11 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 10 , wherein the substrate has flexibility. 12 . The transistor manufacturing method according to claim 10 , wherein the plating base film is formed by a heat treatment at a heating temperature that is lower than a deformation temperature of the substrate.
