  • Fabrication of inverted staggered power TFT devices and electrical characteristic were investigated. 16 fingers with drain and source electrode of TFT and 100V output voltage were designed successfully. It is observed that as $V_g$ increased, $I_d$ increase exponentially. Because of localized deep states of a-Si, $I_d$ shows irregular variation at low voltage. Output and transfer characteristic showed the same as typical variation. But electrical characteristic strongly depend on the channel length and thickness of silicon nitride and amorphous silicon.

  • In the work reported here we have sputtered from silicon targets in argon-silane mixtures using undoped n-type and p-type targets. Doped films have been produced, but the doping efficiency is extremely low. It appears that the dopant atoms are able to satisfy their natural valencies and are therefore not electrically active. Infra-red absorption spectroscopy has been used to establish the hydrogen bonding in the films. No correlation has been found between the nature of the hydrogen bonding in the film and the electrical properties.

  • Amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) films were deposited at the temperature of 40$0^{\circ}C$ using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The a-SiC:H films were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nanoindentation method. By increasing the plasma power from 20W to 160W, the oxygen content of the a-SiC:H films were observed to decrease from 12.1% to 4.4%. On the other hand, the plasma power did not affect the ratio of carbon to silicon in our experiment where the 1, 3-disilabutane was used as the precursor. Microhardness of the films was observed to increase as the plasma power increased, while the elastic modulus was observed to gave a maximum value at the plasma power of 80W. Microhardness of the film is thought to be strongly affected by the content of adventitious oxygen in the film and it is concluded that the hardness of the film can be improved by increasing the plasma power.

  • Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films have been deposited, for thye first time, by a remote plasma chemical vapor deposition. The hydrogen radical play a important role to control the deposition rate, The bonded hydrogen content to silicon is independent of hydrogen partial pressure in the plasma. Optical gap of deposited a-Si:H lies between 1.7eV and 1.8eV and all samples have sharp absorption edge. B-doped a-Si:H films by a RPECVD has a high doping efficiency compared with plasma CVD. The Fermi level of 100ppm B-doped film lies at 0.5eV above valence band edge.

  • In this study, mesh-type PECVD system was suggested to minimize the hydrogen concentration. The main structural difference between the triode system and a conventional system is that a mesh was attached to the substrate holding electrode. We investigated several conditions to compare with conventional PECVD. The main effect of mesh was to minimize the substrate damage by ion bombardment and to enhance the surface reaction to induce hydrogen desorption. It was also found that hydrogen concentration decreased but deposition rate increased as increasing applied dias. Applied DC bias enhanced sputtering process. Intense ion bombardment causes the weakly bonded hydrogen or hydrogen-containing species to leave the growing film and increased adatom mobility. Furthermore, addition of hydrogen gas enhance the surface diffusion of adatom. The structural properties of poly-Si films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).

  • A micromachined sensor part for an infrared focal plane array has been designed and fabricated. Amorphous silicon was adapted as a sensing material, and silicon nitride was used as a membrane material. To get a good efficiency of infrared absorption, the sensor was made as a ${\lambda}/4$ cavity structure. All the processes were done in $0.5\;{\mu}m$ iMEMS fab. in the Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute (ETRI). The processed MEMS sensor structure had a small membrane deflection less than $0.3\;{\mu}m$. This excellent deflection property can be attributed to the rigorous balancing of the stresses of individual layers. The efficiency of infrared absorption was more than 75% in the wavelength range $8\;-\;14\;{\mu}m$.

  • This letter reports the fabrication of polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFT) on flexible plastic substrates using amorphous silicon (a-Si) precursor films by sputter deposition. The a-Si films were deposited with mixture gas of argon and helium to minimize the argon incorporation into the film. The precursor films were then laser crystallized using XeCl excimer laser irradiation and a four-mask-processed poly-Si TFTs were fabricated with fully self-aligned top gate structure.
