A novel body-tied silicon-on-insulator(SOI) n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with grounded body electrode named GBSOI nMOSFET has been developed by wafer bonding and etch-back technology. It has no floating body effect such as kink phenomena on the drain current curves, single-transistor latch and drain current overshoot inherent in a normal SOI device with floating body. We have characterized the interface trap density, kink phenomena on the drain current ($I_{DS}-V_{DS}$) curves, substrate resistance effect on the $I_{DS}-V_{DS}$ curves, subthreshold current characteristics and single transistor latch of these transistors. We have confirmed that the GBSOI structure is suitable for high-speed and low-voltage VLSI circuits.

The most important feature of a-Si TFT is dense localized states such as dangling bonds which exist in tis bandgap. Electrons trapped by localized states dominate the potential distribution in the active a-Si region ,and influence the performance of a-Si TFT. In this paper, we describe the electrical characteristics of a-Si TFT with respect to trap distribution within bandgap, electron mobility and interface states using 2-Dimensional device simulator and compare the result of simulation with measurements. Using the mixed-mode simulator, we can predict the potential variation of pixel which causes residual image problem during the turn-off of a-Si TFT driving circuit. Therefore it is possible to consider trade-off between potential variation of pixel and turn-on current of a-Si TFT for the optimized driving circuit.

Thin Silicon oxynitride(SiON) films have been chemically deposited using 193nm ArF Excimer Laser CVD, with $Si_{2}H_{8}$, $N_{2}O$, and $NH_3$ as the reactive gases and $N_2$ as the carrier gas. Experimental results show that deposition rate and refractive index have a strong dependence on substrate temperature, chamber pressure, gas ratio, laser power and laser beam height. Electrical characterization of oxynitride films demonstrates that for $NH_{3}/N_{2}O$ flow ratios ranging from 0.25 to 1, the leakage currents, the interface trap density and the capacitances (dielect ric constant) increase and the dielectric breakdown fields decrease

The drive towards ultra-large-scale integrated circuits a continuous intermetal dielectric films for multi layer interconection. Optimum condition of remote plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition(RPECVD) was achieved by orthogonal array method. Chracteristics of SiO$_2$ films deposited by using remote PECVD with N$_2$O gas were investigated. Etching rate of SiO$_2$ films in P-echant was about 6[A/s] that was the same as the thermal oxide. The films a showed high breakdown voltage of 7(MV/cm) and a resistivity of Bx10$\^$13/[$\Omega$cm] at 7(MV/cm). The interface Trap density of SiO$_2$ has been shown excel lent properties of 5x10$\^$10/[/$\textrm{cm}^2$eV]. It was observed that the dielectric constant dropped to a value of 4. 29 for 150 [W] RF power.

Today, according to the temperature lowering of VLSI technology which have been required, the new thin film technology of low temperature have appeared. Plasma CVD method, one of low temperature technologies, have major problems with many interface trap defects. In this paper, we prepared ammonia free SiN film containing small H that acts as a defect impurity, and investigated the electrical properties of Laser assisted deposition film.

이 논문에서는 field-effect mobility를 향상시키기 위해 triple-layer (SiNx/SiO2/SiOxNy stack 구조)를 gate dielectric material 로 LTPS TFTs에 적용하였다. 이는 플라즈마 처리 기법과 적층구조의 효과적인 in-situ 공정을 이용하여 interface trap과 mobile charge를 낮추어 높은 이동도의 결과를 생각하고 실험하였다. 실험은 SiO2 gatedielectric과 triple-gate dielectric의 C-V curve를 1 MHz의 주파수에서 측정하였다. 또한 Transfer characteristics를 single SiO2 gatedielectric과 triple-gate dielectric of SiNx/SiO2/SiOxNy를 STA 장비를 이용해 측정하였다. 위의 측정을 통해 threshold voltage, mobility, subtheshold swing, driving current, ON/OFF current ratio를 비교 분석하였다.

Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT) are fabricated by erbium silicided source/drain for n-type SB-TFT. High quality poly-Si film were obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with excimer laser annealing (ELA) or solid phase crystallization (SPC) method. The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFTs have a large on/off current ratio with a low leakage current. Moreover, the electrical characteristics of poly-Si SB TFTs are significantly improved by the additional forming gas annealing in 2 % $H_2/N_2$, because the interface trap states at the poly-Si grain boundaries and at the gate oxide/poly-Si channel decreased.

The effects of bias stress on spin-coated zinc tin oxide (ZTO) transistors are investigated. Applying a positive bias stress results in the displacement of the transfer curves in the positive direction without changing the field effect mobility or the subthreshold behavior. Device instability appears to be a consequence of the charging and discharging of temporal trap states at the interface and in the zinc tin oxide channel region.

The negative bias temperature instability on LTPS TFTs in a darkened and an illuminated environment was investigated. Experimental results reveal that the generation of interface state density showed no change between the different NBTI stresses. The degradation of the grain boundary trap under illumination was more significant than for the darkened environment.

The material properties and the TFT characteristics fabricated on SiOS12T substrate by LPCVD using SiHS14T gas were investigated. The deposition rate showed Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy of 31Kcal/mol. And the transition temperature form amorphous to crystalline deposition was observed at 570$^{\circ}C$-580$^{\circ}C$. The strong(220) texture was observed as the deposition temperature increases. XRD analysis showed that the film texture of the as-deposited polycrystalline silicon does not change after annealing at 850$^{\circ}C$. The fabricated TFT's based on the as-deposited amorphous film showed superior electrical characteristics to those of the as-deposited polycrystalline films. It is considered that the different electrical characteristics result from the difference of flat band voltage(VS1FBT) due to the interface trap density between the gate oxide and the active channel.
