Abstract

It is an object to form a high quality gate insulating film which is dense and has a strong insulation resistance property, and to propose a high reliable organic transistor in which a tunnel leakage current is little. One mode of the organic transistor of the present invention has a step of forming the gate insulating film by forming the conductive layer which becomes the gate electrode activating oxygen (or gas including oxygen) or nitrogen (or gas including nitrogen) or the like using dense plasma in which density of electron is 1011 cm−3 or more, and electron temperature is a range of 0.2 eV to 2.0 eV with plasma activation, and reacting directly with a portion of the conductive layer which becomes the gate electrode to be insulated.

Benefits of technology

[0010] It is an object of the present invention to provide a lower tunnel leakage current organic transistor by forming a dence and highly insulating resistance property gate insulating film than the gate insulating film formed by using a conventional CVD method.

[0024] Since a gate insulating film which is formed by using dense plasma can be a high quality film which is less damaged by plasma and has almost no defects, the gate insulating film can reduce a tunnel leakage current. Therefore, a highly reliable organic transistor can be obtained. In addition, when the conductive layer which becomes a gate electrode is insulated to be the gate insulating film, high integration is enabled.

Problems solved by technology

Since a high-temperature treatment is needed for forming a film of an inorganic semiconductor material as a semiconductor layer, it is difficult to use plastic or a film as a substrate.

However, when the gate insulating film is made thinner, a tunnel leakage current is high, and there is a concern about degradation of reliability.
