In this paper, polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor using by Solid Phase Crystallization(SPC) were fabricated, and these devices were measured and analyzed the electrical output and transfer characteristics along to DC voltage stress. The transfer characteristics of polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor depended on drain and gate voltages. Threshold voltage is high with long channel length and narrow channel width. And output characteristics of polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor flowed abruptly much higher drain current. The devices induced electrical stress are decreased drain current. At last, field effect mobility is the faster as channel length is high and channel width is narrow.

To integrate the sensor driver and logic circuits, fabricating down scaled transistors has been main issue. At this research, short channel effects were analyzed after n channel polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor was fabricated at high temperature. As a result, on current, on/off current ratio and transconductance were increased but threshold voltage, electron mobility and s-slope were reduced with a decrease of channel length. When carriers that develop at grain boundary in activated polycrystalline silicon have no gate biased, on current was increased with punch through by drain current. Also, due to BJT effect (parallel bipolar effect) that developed under region of channel by increase of gate voltage on current was rapidly increased.

Analyzing electrical degradation of polycrystalline silicon transistor to applicable at several environment is very important issue. In this research, after fabricating p channel poly crystalline silicon TFT (thin film transistor) electrical characteristics were compare and analized that changed by gate bias with first measurement. As a result on and off current was reduced by variation of gate bias and especially re duce ratio of off current was reduced by $7.1{\times}10^1$. On/off current ratio, threshold voltage and electron mobility increased. Also, when channel length gets shorter on/off current ratio was increased more and thresh old voltage increased less. It was cause due to electron trap and de-trap to gate silicon oxide by variation of gate bias.

The development of fabrication processes of polycrystalline-silicon-thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) at low temperatures is reviewed. Rapid crystallization through laser-induced melt-regrowth has an advantage of formation of crystalline silicon films at a low thermal budget. Solid phase crystallization techniques have also been improved for low temperature processing. Passivation of $SiO_2$/Si interface and grain boundaries is important to achieve high carrier transport properties. Oxygen plasma and $H_2O$ vapor heat treatments are proposed for effective reduction of the density of defect states. TFTs with high performance is reported.

태양전지가 시장성을 확보하는데 가장 중요한 요소는 전지의 가격이다. 기존의 결정질 실리콘 태양전지에서는 가격의 절반 정도가 웨이퍼가격이다. 결과적으로 이러한 가격을 줄이기 위해서 박막 제조 기술에 많은 노력이 집중되고 있으며 박막형 태양전지의 효율을 증가시키기 위한 많은 기술적인 발전이 되고 있다. 박막형 태양전지의 기술에 관한 기술 발전은 다결정 실리콘(p-Si), 비정질 실리콘(a-Si), $SuInSe_2$(CIS), CdTe 등에서 주로 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문은 박막형 태양전지 분야에 있어서의 최근 연구성과에 대해서 알아보았다.

We investigated the mechanism of mobility enhancement after the dehydrogenation process in polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films. The dehydrogenation process was performed by using an in-situ CVD chamber in a $N_2$ ambient or an ex-situ furnace in air ambient. We observed that the dehydrogenated poly-Si in a $N_2$ ambient had a lower oxygen concentration than the dehydrogenated poly-Si annealed in an air ambient. The in-situ dehydrogenation increased the (111) preferred orientation of poly-Si and reduced the oxygen concentration in poly-Si thin films, leading to a reduction of the trap density near the valence band. This phenomenon gave rise to an increase of the field-effect mobility of the poly-Si thin film transistor.

DC magnetron sputtering was used to deposit p-type polycrystalline silicon on n-type Si(100) wafer. The influence of film microstructure properties on deposition parameters (DC power, substrate temperature, pressure) was investigated. The substrate temperature and pressure have the important influence on depositing the poly-Si thin films. Smooth ploy-Si films were obtained in (331) orientation and the average grain sizes are ranged in 25-30nm. The grain sizes of films deposited at low pressure of 10mTorr are a little larger than those deposited at high pressure of 15mTorr.

We present a novel process for the ultra low temperature (<150$^{\circ}C$) polycrystalline silicon (ULTPS) TFT for the flexible display applications on the plastic substrate. The sequential lateral solidification (SLS) was used for the crystallization of the amorphous silicon film deposited by rf magnetron sputtering, resulting in high mobility polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film. The gate dielectric was composed of thin $SiO_2$ formed by plasma oxidation and $Al_2O_3$ deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition. The breakdown field of gate dielectric on poly-Si film showed above 6.3 MV/cm. Laser activation reduced the source/drain resistance below 200 ${\Omega}$/ㅁ for n layer and 400 ${\Omega}$/ㅁ for p layer. The fabricated ULTPS TFT shows excellent performance with mobilities of 114 $cm^2$/Vs (nMOS) and 42 $cm^2$/Vs (pMOS), on/off current ratios of 4.20${\times}10^6$ (nMOS) and 5.7${\times}10^5$ (PMOS).

A solar cell conversion effiency was degraded by grain boundary effect in polycrystalline silicon. To reduce these effects of the grain boundaries, we investigated various influencing factors such as preferential chemical etching of grain boundaries, grid design, transparent conductive thin film, and top metallization along grain boundaries. Pretreatment in $N_2$ atmosphere and gettering by $POCl_3$ and Al were performed to obtain polycrystalline silicon of the reduced defect density. Structural, electrical, and optical properties of solar cells were characterized. Improved conversion efficiencies of solar cell were obtained by a combination of Al diffusion into grain boundaries on rear side, fine grid finger, top Yb metal grid on Cr thin film of $200{\AA}$ and buried contact metallization along grain boundaries.

Electrical properties of multi-channel metal-induced unilaterally precrystallized polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor (MIUP poly-Si TFT) devices and circuits were investigated. Although their structure was integrated into small area, reducing annealing process time for fuller crystallization than that of conventional crystal filtered MIUP poly-Si TFTs, the multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed the effect of crystal filtering. The multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed a higher carrier mobility of more than 1.5 times that of the conventional MIUP poly-Si TFTs. Moreover, PMOS inverters consisting of the multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed high dynamic performance compared with inverters consisting of the conventional MIUP poly-Si TFTs.
