Patent ID: 7235420

Claim:
A process for forming an organic electronic device comprising the steps of: forming a first conductive member and a conductive lead over a substrate, wherein the first conductive member and conductive lead are spaced apart from each other; forming an organic layer over the substrate, the first conductive member, and the conductive lead; forming a patterned conductive layer over the organic layer, wherein: the patterned conductive layer includes a second conductive member; and the patterned conductive layer creates an exposed portion of the organic layer and an unexposed portion of the organic layer; and dry etching at least the exposed portion of the organic layer to expose a portion of the conductive lead using feed gas comprising, by volume percent, 1 to 100 percent oxygen-containing gas, 0 to 50 percent halogen-containing gas, 0 to 40 percent inert gas, and 0 to 30 percent reducing gas, wherein dry etching is performed at a pressure in a range of approximately 0.01 to 7.5 mTorr.
