Description of the Related Art In an organic EL device of this kind, an anode made of a transparent material such as ITO (indium tin oxide) is formed on a substrate such as glass by sputtering or the like, and holes are transported on the anode by vapor deposition or the like. Forming an organic layer including a light-emitting layer containing a fluorescent dye in an organic material having an electron transporting property,
A cathode made of metal such as aluminum is formed thereon by vapor deposition or the like.

Further, the anode and the cathode are formed with an electrode connection portion which is connected to an external wiring member or the like in order to make an electrical connection with the outside.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】この電極接続部の形成
方法としては、メタルマスクを用いて電極接続部上には
保護膜を成膜しないようにする方法や、ウェット系リフ
トオフ方法が考えられる。しかしながら、本発明者等の
検討によれば、これら両方法とも、有機EL素子への適
用には適していないと考えられる。As a method of forming the electrode connecting portion, a method in which a protective film is not formed on the electrode connecting portion by using a metal mask, or a wet lift-off method can be considered. However, according to the study of the present inventors, it is considered that both of these methods are not suitable for application to an organic EL device.
【0005】まず、上記したメタルマスクによる方法に

質としては、成膜面上の凹凸部のステップカバレッジが
極めて良好であることが必要である。こうした膜質の保
護膜を実現するためには、プラズマCVD、光CVDと
いった成膜方法が採用される。First, the problems caused by the above-described method using a metal mask will be described. As the film quality required for the protective film, it is necessary that the step coverage of the concavo-convex portion on the film formation surface is extremely good. In order to realize such a protective film having a film quality, a film forming method such as plasma CVD or optical CVD is adopted.
【0006】しかし、これら成膜方法では、ステップカ

たメタルマスクと基板との間の僅かな隙間にも成膜原料
ガスが回り込んで、本来メタルマスクで覆われている電
極接続部上にまで保護膜が形成されてしまう、という問
題が生じる。However, in these film forming methods, since the step coverage is too good, the film forming raw material gas flows into a slight gap between the metal mask disposed just above the electrode connecting portion and the substrate, and originally, There is a problem that the protective film is formed even on the electrode connection portion covered with the metal mask.
【0007】一方、上記したウェット系リフトオフ方法

特性劣化の要因となる水や有機溶媒を用いざるを得な
い、という問題が生じる。On the other hand, in the above wet lift-off method, a resist material is applied in advance on an electrode connection portion,
This is a method in which the protective film on the resist material is also peeled off after the formation of the protective film. However, in this peeling, a wet process is indispensable because a peeling solution is used, and water, which is a factor of characteristic deterioration for the organic EL device, Or an organic solvent must be used.
【0008】そこで、比較的実現可能に近い方法として

記載されている機械的研削手法がある。この手法のうち
液体ホーニングという方法では、研削において研削粒を
混合した水や有機溶媒を用いるので、ウェット系リフト
オフ方法と同様に有機EL素子には適していない。A mechanical grinding method described in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 6-79512 is an example that can be considered as a relatively practical method. Of these methods, the liquid honing method is not suitable for an organic EL device as in the wet lift-off method because water or an organic solvent mixed with abrasive grains is used in grinding.

くずを水洗浄で取り除く必要が生じる。そのため、この
方法でも、水を使うという点から有機EL素子には適し
ていないと考えられる。In view of the above, a dry method is considered as a mechanical grinding method. However, it is necessary to separately remove polishing debris of the protective film generated in the grinding step by washing with water. Therefore, it is considered that this method is not suitable for an organic EL element in terms of using water.

ればならない。That is, in the organic EL element, the protective film is removed at the electrode connection portion of the anode and the cathode for connection to the outside, and when the electrode connection portion is exposed, a protective film is formed by using a metal mask; In addition, it is necessary to avoid using a wet process using water or an organic solvent.

An object is to allow an electrode connecting portion to be appropriately exposed without using a film formation or a wet process.
