Thin Film Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Device Using a Single-Step Deposition of the Channel Layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report, for the first time, the use of a single step deposition of semiconductor channel layer to simultaneously achieve both n- and p-type transport in transparent oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). This effect is achieved by controlling the concentration of hydroxyl groups (OH-groups) in the underlying gate dielectrics. The semiconducting tin oxide layer was deposited at room temperature, and the maximum device fabrication temperature was 350 °C. Both n and p-type TFTs showed fairly comparable performance. A functional CMOS inverter was fabricated using this novel scheme, indicating the potential use of our approach for various practical applications.

Low Temperature Processed Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Device by Oxidation Effect from Capping Layer
In this report, both p- and n-type tin oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) were simultaneously achieved using single-step deposition of the tin oxide channel layer. The tuning of charge carrier polarity in the tin oxide channel is achieved by selectively depositing a copper oxide capping layer on top of tin oxide, which serves as an oxygen source, providing additional oxygen to form an n-type ti...

We report a p channel thin ®lm transistor (TFT) made of directly deposited microcrystalline silicon (lc-Si). The lc-Si channel material is grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using dc excitation of a mixture of SiH4, SiF4 and H2, in a process similar to the deposition of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). The deposition temperature for the lc-Si is 320°C and the hig...

We have investigated the influence of a contact etch-stop layer ~ESL! on the local mechanical stress in a deep sub-micrometer complementary metal oxide semiconductor ~CMOS! field-effect transistor using convergent-beam electron diffraction with nanoscale resolution. By introducing a thin buffer layer of SiOxNy underneath the Si3N4 contact ESL, we have shown that the compressive channel strain c...

Particle aggregation and film agglomeration have been among the main technical hurdles for solid-state thin film development and have been observed in many semiconductor and catalytic systems. In heterogeneous catalysis, particle aggregation leads to reduction of effective surface area and degradation of catalytic performance. On semiconductor surfaces, film agglomeration may give rise to elect...
