ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a transistor, comprising: depositing a first material from solution in a first solvent to form a first layer of the transistor; and subsequently whilst the first material remains soluble in the first solvent, forming a second layer of the transistor by depositing over the first material a second material from solution in a second solvent in which the first material is substantially insoluble.
