  • In this paper we describe solutions to address critical challenges in direct fabrication of amorphous silicon thin film transistor (TFTs) arrays for active matrix flexible displays. For all flexible substrates a manufacturable handling protocol in automated display-scale equipment is required. For metal foil substrates the principal challenges are planarization and electrical isolation, and management of stress (CTE mismatch) during TFT fabrication. For plastic substrates the principal challenge is dimensional instability management.

  • 2.22-inch qVGA $(240{\times}320)$ amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid active matrix crystal display (${\alpha}$- Si TFT-AMLCD) panel has been successfully demonstrated employing a 2.5 um fine-patterning technology by a wet etch process. Higher resolution 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel with an aperture ratio of 58% can be fabricated because the 2.5 um fine pattern formation technique is combined with high thermal photo-resist (PR) development. In addition, a novel concept of unique ${\alpha}$-Si TFT process architecture, which is advantageous in terms of reliability, was proposed in the fabrication of 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel. Overall results show that the 2.5 um finepatterning is a considerably significant technology to obtain higher aperture ratio for higher resolution ${\alpha}$-Si TFT-LCD panel realization.

  • Diamond is synthesized from the gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen by microwave PECVD. $10{\times}10mm^2$ silicon wafers are used as the substrate,and it can be raised more than $900^{\circ}C$ by microwave absorption, radiation by plasma and bombardment of ions. The changes of the morphology and the growth rates of the deposits with the experimental conditions are examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy. The d values of all the deposited films concide with those of powder diffraction data in XRD. In Raman spectra, the peak of the deposit coincides with that of the natural diamond which has a value of 1332.5 $cm^{-1}$, and the broad peak from 1360 $cm^{-1}$to 1600 $cm^{-1}$which represents the amorphous graphite was observed in the higher concentration of carbon monoxide.

  • A 2.2-inch QCIF+ $(176{\times}RGB{\times}220)$ TFT-LCD with integrated row driver was developed using a standard amorphous silicon TFT technology. At low temperature $({\sim}-20^{\circ}C)$, the integrated row driver operation is dramatically effected by the electron drift mobility variation $({\sim}50%)$ and the threshold voltage shift $({\sim}1V)$ of the a-Si TFT. We studied the temperature dependency of the circuit design and found that higher on-current circuit is important to guarantee good operation in wide temperature range.

  • A new gamma camera using a-Si : H photodetectors has been designed for the imaging of heart and other small organs. In this new design the photomultiplier tubes and the position sensing circuitry are replaced by 2-D array of a-Si : H p-i-n pixel photode tectors and readout circuitry which are built on a substrate. Without the photomultiplier tubes this camera is light weight, hence can be made portable. To predict the characteristics and the performance of this new gamma camera we did Monte Carlo simulations. In the simulations 128${\times}$128 imaging array of various pixel sixes were used. $\^$99m/Tc(140keV)and $\^$201/Tl(70keV) were used as radiation sources. From the simulations we could obtain the resolution of the camera and ther overall system, and the blurring effects due to scattering in the phantom. Using the Wiener filter for image processing, restoration of the blurred image could be achieved. Simulation results of a-Si : H based gamma camera were compared with those of a conwentional gamma camera.

  • This paper is focused on the fabrication of reliable novel antifuse, which could operate at low voltage along with the improvement in OFF and ON-state properties. The fabricated antifuse consists of Al/BaTi$_{2}$O$_{3}$/SiO$_{2}$/TiW-silicide structure. Through the systematic analyses for bottom metal and the intermetallic insulator, material and electri cproperties were investiaged. TiW-silicide as the bottom electrode had smooth surface with average roughness of 11.angs. at 10X10.mu.m$^{2}$ and was bing kept as-deposited SiO$_{2}$ film stable. Amorphous BaTi$_{2}$O$_{3}$ film as the another insulator was chosen because of its low breakdown strength (2.5MV/cm). breakdown voltage of antifuse is remarkably reduced by using BaTi$_{2}$O$_{3}$ film, and leakage current of that maintained low level due to the SiO$_{2}$ film. Low ON-resistance (46.ohm./.mu.m$^{2}$) and low programming voltage(9.1V) can be obtained in theses antifuses with 220.angs. double insulator layer and 19.6X10$^{-6}$ cm$^{2}$ area, while keeping sufficient OFF-state reliability (less than 1nA).

  • This research on building Integrated Photovoltaic System replacing windows and doors with amorphous silicon thin film PV windows and doors installing same exact mount on Mock-up. The windows and doors should be installed in different angle and bearing so that we can analyse the amount of electricity from them. The objective of the research is to evaluate and investigate the relationship between factors(intensity of solar radiation, PV window surface temporature, incidence angle, and sky conditions) that affects performance of PV window and performance. The range and method of this research is to establish mornitoring system and analysis the date from the mornitoring system to evaluate the performance of PV windows that has thin film of solar battery. We should evaluate the insolation according to the position of PV window, output, and surface temperature according to months and seasons so that we can figure out the relationship between these. And we should investigate the relationship between performance and efficiency according to incidence angle and sky condition so that we can figure out the correlation between factors and performance.

  • Indium free consisting of three alternating layers GTO/Ag/GTO has been fabricated by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering for the applications as transparent conducting electrodes and the structural, electrical and optical properties of the gallium tin oxide (GTO) films were carefully studied. The gallium tin oxide thin films deposited at room temperature are found to have an amorphous structure. Hall Effect measurements show a strong influence on the conductivity type where it changed from n-type to p-type at $700^{\circ}C$. GTO/Ag/GTO multilayer structured electrode with a few nm of Ag layer embedded is fabricated and show the optical transmittance of 86.48% in the visible range (${\lambda}$ = 380~770 nm) and quite low electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$. The resultant power conversion efficiency of 2.60% of the multilayer based OPV (GAG) is lower than that of the reference commercial ITO. GTO/Ag/GTO multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode material due to its low resistivity, high transmittance, low temperature deposition and low cost components.

  • Hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon(${\mu}c$-Si:H) films were prepared using inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition(ICP-CVD) method, electrical and optical properties of these films were studied as a function of silane concentration. And then, effect of $PH_3\;and\;B_2H_6$ addition on their electrical properties was also investigated for solar cell application. Characterization of these films from X-ray diffraction revealed that the conductive film exists in microcrystalline phase embedded in an amorphous network. At $PH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio of $0.9{\times}10^{-3}$, dark conductivity has a maximum value of ${\sim}18.5S/cm$ and optical bandgap also a maximum value of ${\sim}2.39eV$. Boron-doped ${\mu}c$-Si:H films, satisfied with p-layer of solar cell, could be obtained at ${\sim}10^{-2}\;of\;B_2H_6/SiH_4$.

  • The polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFT) are the most promising candidate for active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) for their high mobilities and current driving capabilities. The leakage current of the poly-Si TFT is much higher than that of the amorphous-Si TFT, thus larger storage capacitance is required which reduces the aperture ratio fur the pixel. The offset gated poly-Si TFTs have been widely investigated in order to reduce the leakage current. The conventional method for fabricating an offset device may require additional mask and photolithography process step, which is inapplicable for self-aligned source/drain ion implantation and rather cost inefficient. Due to mis-alignment, offset devices show asymmetric transfer characteristics as the source and drain are switched. We have proposed and fabricated a new offset poly-Si TFT by applying photoresist reflow process. The new method does not require an additional mask step and self-aligned ion implantation is applied, thus precise offset length can be defined and source/drain symmetric transfer characteristics are achieved.
