P-24: High-Temperature (250°C) Amorphous-Silicon TFT’s On Clear Plastic Substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistors (TFT’s) were fabricated on free-standing, clear plastic substrates with a maximum process temperature of up to 250°C. An a-Si TFT backplane for active matrix OLED (AMOLED) application was also made on such substrates. The performance of both the TFT’s and the AMOLED backplane are excellent. These results will enable the fabrication of flexible AMLCD or AMOLED displays on clear plastic substrates with the TFT processes currently used for glass substrates.

Towards Flexible Full-color Active Matrix Organic Light-emitting Displays: Dry Dye Printing for Oled Integration and 280°c Amorphous-silicon Thin-film Transistors on Clear Plastic Substrates
The goal of this thesis is to achieve flexible full color AMOLED displays on clear plastic substrates using high temperature amorphous-silicon TFT’s. Dry dye-printing and solvent-enhanced dye diffusion were used to fabricate side-by-side red, green and blue organic light emitting device (OLED) pixels. The technique was then used to make combined polymer/small molecule devices, in which the prin...

Ke Long I-Chun Cheng Alexis Kattamis Helena Gleskova Sigurd Wagner James C. Sturm Abstract — A process temperature of ~300°C produces amorphous-silicon (a-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with the best performance and long-term stability. Clear organic polymers (plastics) are the most versatile substrate materials for flexible displays. However, clear plastics with a glass-transition temperatur...

Polycrystalline thin-film transistors (TFT’s) are promising for use as high-performance pixel and integrated driver transistors for active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD’s). Silicon-germanium is a promising candidate for use as the channel material due to its low thermal budget requirements. The binary nature of the silicon-germanium system complicates the optimization of the channel dep...

متن کاملHigh-Performance Germanium-Seeded Laterally Crystallized TFT’s for Vertical Device Integration
Increasing chip complexity and area has resulted in interconnect delay becoming a significant fraction of overall chip delay. Continued scaling of design rules will further aggravate this problem. Vertical integration of devices will enable a substantial reduction in chip size and thus in interconnect delay. We present a novel technique to achieve vertical integration of CMOS devices. Germanium...
