AbstractPolycrystalline silicon-germanium (poly-Si1-xGex) thin film transistors (TFTs) werefabricated with and without Si interlayers (caps) to buffer the SiO2 gate dielectric and theSi1-xGex channel. Both low temperature processes (≤ 550 °C) compatible with glass for flat panel displays and high temperature processes were used. NMOS TFTs show dramatic performanceimprovements up to moderate (5 to 10 nm) interlayer thicknesses. In contrast, PMOS TFTs showonly small improvements at low interlayer thicknesses (< 5 nm), after which performancedeclines. Computer simulations using an effective medium model for polycrystalline materialssuggest that in addition to interface improvement, a pseudomorphic heterojunction is formedfrom the strained Si cap and unstrained poly-Si1-xGex channel with both conduction and valenceband offsets. These offsets play a significant role in inversion layer formation.
