Patent ID: 7683368

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor element having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a semiconductor layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, the method comprising the steps of: a first step for forming layers mainly comprised of a semiconductor material having polymerizable groups on the side of one surface of the first electrode and on the side of one surface of the second electrode, respectively, and a second step for obtaining the semiconductor layer by integrating the two layers together by polymerizing the semiconductor materials via a polymerization reaction through their polymerizable groups in a state that the layer on the side of the first electrode and the layer on the side of the second electrode are made contact with each other, wherein the semiconductor material is comprised of a compound which is represented by the following general formula (A1) or (A2): wherein two R 1 s are the same or different and each independently represents a straight-chain alkyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and four R 2 s are the same or different and each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group, Y represents a group containing at least one substituted or unsubsituted aromatic hydrocarbon ring or substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle, and two X 1 s are the same kind of substituent represented by any one of the following general formulas (B1) to (B3), in which the number of carbon atoms of the two X 1 s are the same as or different from to each other; or wherein eight R 3 s are the same or different and each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, or an ethyl group, Y represents a group containing at least one substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon ring or substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle, and X 2 , X 3 , X 4 and X 5 are the same kind of substituent which is represented by any one of the following general formulas (B1) to (B3), in which the number of carbon atoms of X 2 , X 3 , X 4 and X 5 are the same as or different from to each other, wherein n 1 is an integer of 2 to 8, n 2 is an integer of 3 to 8, m is an integer of 0 to 3, Z 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and Z 2 represented a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group.
