A new hybrid silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) fabrication process using the DPSS laser crystallization technique was developed in this study to realize low-temperature poly-Si (LTPS) and a-Si:H TFTs on the same substrate as a backplane of the active-matrix liquid crystal flat-panel display (AMLCD). LTPS TFTs were integrated into the peripheral area of the activematrix LCD panel for the gate driver circuit, and a-Si:H TFTs were used as a switching device of the pixel electrode in the active area. The technology was developed based on the current a-Si:H TFT fabrication process in the bottom-gate, back-channel etch-type configuration. The ion-doping and activation processes, which are required in the conventional LTPS technology, were thus not introduced, and the field effect mobility values of $4\sim5cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and $0.5cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ for the LTPS and a-Si:H TFTs, respectively, were obtained. The application of this technology was demonstrated on the 14.1" WXGA+(1440$\times$900) AMLCD panel, and a smaller area, lower power consumption, higher reliability, and lower photosensitivity were realized in the gate driver circuit that was fabricated in this process compared with the a-Si:H TFT gate driver integration circuit

We report a new in-situ fluorine passivation method without in implantation by employing excimer laser annealing of $SiO_{x}F_{y}$/a-Si structure and its effects on p-channel poly-Si TFTs. The proposed method doesn't require any additional annealing step and is a low temperature process because fluorine passivation is simultaneous with excimer-laser-induced crystallization. A in-situ fluorine passivation by the proposed method was verified form XPS analysis and conductivity measurement. From experimental results, it has been shown that the proposed method is effective to improve the electrical characteristics, specially field-effect mobility, and the electrical stability of p-channel poly-Si TFTs. The improvement id due to fluorine passivation, which reduces the trap state density and forms the strong Si-F bonds in poly-Si channel and $SiO_2/poly-Si$ interface. From these results, the high performance poly-Si TFTs canbe obtained by employing the excimer-laser-induced fluorine passivation method.

Nickel silicide is main issue in Polycrystalline silicon Thin Film Transistor (TFT) which is made by Metal Induced Lateral Crystallization (MILC) method. This Nickel silicide acts as a defect center, and this defect is one of the biggest reason of the high leakage current. In this research, we fabricated polycrystalline TFTs with novel method called Edge Cut (EC). With this new fabrication method, we assumed that nickel silicide at the edge of the channel region is reduced. Electrical properties are measured and trap state density also calculated using Levinson & Proano method.

In this paper, we investigated the SLS process to control grain boundary(GB) location in TFT channel region, and it has been found to be applicable for locating the GB at the same location in the channel region of each TFT. We fabricated TFT by applying a new alignment SLS process and compared the TFT characteristics with a normal SLS method and the grain boundary location controlled SLS method. Also, we have analysed degradation phenomena under hot carrier stress conditions for n-type LDD MOSFETs.

Liquid crystal displays(LCDs)의 스위칭 소자로써 thin film transistors(TFTs)를 적용하기 위해서 저온 공정이 가능하도록 molybdenum 금속을 게이트에 사용하여 저온 다결정 TFTs 소자를 제작하였다. 또한, 채널 길이 방향으로 결정을 성장시켜 결정립이 큰 다결정 실리콘을 얻을 수 있는 sequential lateral solidification(SLS) 결정화 방법을 사용하였다. SLS-TFT 소자를 $2{\mu}m$에서 $20{\mu}m$까지의 다양한 채널 길이와 폭으로 제작한 후 각 소자들의 I-V 특성 곡선과 소자의 물성 분석을 위해 필요한 변수들을 구하여 이들의 전기적인 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 제작된 소자들로부터 측정된 이동도는 $100{\sim}400Cm^2$/Vs, on/off 전류비는 약 $10^7$, off-state 전류는 약 $100{\times}10^{-12}A$로 대체적으로 우수한 특성을 보였다.

본 논문은 유기물로 이루어진 폴리머 기판상에 저온 다결정 실리콘 박막트랜지스터 제조방법에 대해 연구하였다. 먼저, 폴리머 기판에 화학증착방식으로 비결정 실리콘 박막을 증착하였고, 열처리 장치인 퍼니스로 탈수소 및 활성화 공정을 430도에서 2시간동안 진행하였다. 이후 엑시머 레이저를 이용하여 결정화를 진행하여 다결정 실리콘 반도체 막을 제조하였다. 이 박막은 박막트랜지스터 제작을 위한 활성층으로 사용하였다. 제작된 p형 박막트랜지스터는 이동도 $77cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off 전류비는 $10^7$이상의 동작특성을 보였고, 이는 결정화된 박막내부에 결함 농도가 낮음을 의미한다. 이 결과로 유기물 기판상에 엑시머 레이저로 형성된 다결정 실리콘으로 제작된 전자소자는 플렉서블 AMOLED 디스플레이 회로 형성에 최적의 기술임을 알 수 있다.

Hydrogen passivation enhances the electrical characteristics of poly-Si TFT(Thin Film Transistor). However, the weak Si-H bonds, generated during hydrogenation, degrade the stability of the device. So, we carried out the passivation treatment with $NH_3$ or $N_2$. We compared the effect of $NH_3$ or $N_2$ passivation treatments with that of hydrogenation in terms of stability. Through the $NH_3$ passivation treatment, we obtained the most improved subthreshold swing of 1.2V/decade from the initial subthreshold swing of 1.56V/decade. When electrical stress was given, the $NH_3$ passivated devices showed best electrical stability.

With the NAND Flash scaling down, it becomes more and more difficult to follow Moore's law to continue the scaling due to physical limitations. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) flash memories have introduced as an ideal solution for ultra-high-density data storage. In 3D flash memory, as the process reason, we need to use poly-Si TFTs instead of conventional transistors. So, after combining charge trap flash (CTF) structure and poly-Si TFTs, the emerging device SONOS-TFTs has also suffered from some reliability problem such as hot carrier degradation, charge-trapping-induced parasitic capacitance and resistance which both create interface traps. Charge pumping method is a useful tool to investigate the degradation phenomenon related to interface trap creation. However, the curves for charge pumping current in SONOS TFTs were far from ideal, which previously due to the fabrication process or some unknown traps. It needs an optimization and the important geometrical effect should be eliminated. In spite of its importance, it is still not deeply studied. In our work, base-level sweep model was applied in SONOS TFTs, and the nonideal charge pumping current was optimized by adjusting the gate pulse transition time. As a result, after the optimizing, an improved charge pumping current curve is obtained.
