ABSTRACT:
An exemplary solution-processed thin film transistor formation method of the invention forms solution-processed thin film layers into a transistor structure. During formation, semiconductor portions of the transistor structure are selectively heated via a laser to modify the material state of semiconductor material from a solution deposited material state to a thin film layer material state.
