High-performance top and bottom double-gate low-temperature poly-silicon thin film transistors fabricated by excimer laser crystallization

چکیده
In this work, high-performance low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) thin film transistors (TFTs) with double-gate (DG) structure and lateral grain growth have been demonstrated by excimer laser crystallization (ELC). Therefore, the DG TFTs with lateral silicon grains in the channel regions exhibited better current–voltage characteristics as compared with the conventional solid-phase crystallized (SPC) poly-Si double-gate TFTs or conventional ELC top-gate (TG) TFTs. The proposed ELC DG TFTs (W/L = 1.5/1.5 lm) had the fieldeffect-mobility exceeding 400 cm/V s, on/off current ratio higher than 10, superior short-channel characteristics and higher current drivability. 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Low Temperature Polysilicon Thin-Film Transistors on Flexible Substrates
We fabricated low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) on flexible substrates using sputtered amorphous Si (a-Si) precursor films. The a-Si precursor films were deposited by using rf-magnetron sputtering system with argon-helium mixture gas to minimize the argon incorporation into the Si film. The a-Si films were laser annealed by using XeCl excimer laser and...
