The invention relates to a method for producing a vertical organic field-effect transistor, in which a vertical organic field-effect transistor with a layer arrangement is produced on a substrate, said layer arrangement including transistor electrodes, namely a first electrode (23; 24), a second electrode (23; 24) and a third electrode (32), electrically insulating layers (25; 34) and an organic semiconductor layer (28). In addition, a vertical organic field-effect transistor is provided, which includes a layer arrangement with transistor electrodes on a substrate (21).
