Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to an in-line process for making a thin film electronic device on a substrate. The process includes depositing a structurable layer onto a substrate and depositing photoresist material onto the structurable layer in a first pattern. The process also includes developing the photoresist material, etching the structurable layer in areas uncovered by the photoresist material and removing the remaining photoresist material. The process may be performed without intermediate exposure of the substrate to ambient air.
