Patent ID: 8748301

Claim:
A method for production of an electrode comprising: forming a pattern by discharging a composition including (a) a silicon compound, (b) an impurity-diffusing component, and (c) a solvent on a semiconductor substrate by an ink-jet system; and allowing the impurity-diffusing component (b) in the pattern diffuse into the semiconductor substrate, wherein the solvent (c) contains (c1) a solvent having a boiling point of no higher than 100° C. and (c2) a solvent having a boiling point of greater than 180 to less than or equal to 230° C.; and wherein the solvent (c1) is present at a ratio of 70 to 90% by mass and the solvent (c2) is present at a ratio of 1 to 20% by mass both relative to the total mass of the composition.
