AbstractWe have studied the effect of O2 plasma exposure on the performance of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistor (TFTs). The field effect mobility is increased and the drain currents at negative gate voltages are reduced by O2 plasma exposure on the surface of the TFT. These improvements in the performance of the poly-Si TFTs are larger in offset structure compared to overlap one. We obtained the on/off current ratio of ∼ 108 after O2 plasma exposure for the poly-Si TFTs with 3 or 4 μm offset length.

Hydrogenation Effect

The hydrogenation effect was studied in the fabrication of amorphous silicon thin film transistor using APCVD technique. The inverse staggered type a-Si TFTs were fabricated with the deposited a-Si and SiO2 films by the atmospheric pressure (AP) CVD. The field effect mobility of the fabricated a-Si TFT is 0.79 cm2/Vs and threshold voltage is 5.4V after post hydrogenation. These results can be applied to make low cost a-Si TFT array using an in-line APCVD system.

ABSTRACTWe propose a mesh-type PECVD to minimize the hydrogen concentration in this study. Since in this system deposition rate is very slow, so for increasing a deposition rate, we suggest an applied DC bias enhanced sputtering process. We investigated several conditions to compare with conventional PECVD. Excimer-laser melting and regrowth of thin a-Si films is for fabricating polycrystalline-Si (poly-Si). Furthermore, we fabricate poly-Si thin-film transistor(TFTs) and measure threshold voltage (V), field-effect mobility (cm2 /Vs) and on/off current ratio

Sol-gel processed SnO2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on SiO2/p+ Si substrates. The SnO2 active channel layer was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method. Precursor concentration influenced the film thickness and surface roughness. As the concentration of the precursor was increased, the deposited films were thicker and smoother. The device performance was influenced by the thickness and roughness of the SnO2 active channel layer. Decreased precursor concentration resulted in a fabricated device with lower field-effect mobility, larger subthreshold swing (SS), and increased threshold voltage (Vth), originating from the lower free carrier concentration and increase in trap sites. The fabricated SnO2 TFTs, with an optimized 0.030 M precursor, had a field-effect mobility of 9.38 cm2/Vs, an SS of 1.99, an Ion/Ioff value of ~4.0 × 107, and showed enhancement mode operation and positive Vth, equal to 9.83 V.

ABSTARCT:We have fabricated a new multi-channel polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor (ploy-Si TFT), of which structure may be more effectively hydrogenated than conventional multi-channel poly-Si TFT. The new multi-channel TFT has stripe-cuts in gate electrode so that more hydrogen radicals penetrate into the gate oxide and passivate the active poly-Si layer. After 90 min. hydrogenation of the new device, the electrical characteristics such as threshold voltage and field effect mobility are improved more than those of conventional device.The new multi-channel poly-Si TFT, which receives more hydrogen radicals thorough gate oxide than the conventional multi-channel TFT, can be hydrogenated effectively in long channel devices. Besides the improvement of the device characteristics, our experimental results show that the dominant hydrogenation path is the diffusion though the gate oxide.
