The application of poly Si super thin film transistors to VLSI technology, in which the active layer poly Si is 200-5OOA thick, has been investigated. The average grain size,of poly Si increased to more than lpm from 200-300A by solid phase recrystallization. Sub-um poly Si super thin film transistors and 19-stage CMOS ring oscillators were fabricated on 5inch insulator substrates. The mobility was about 100cm'/V.s for an N-channel and about 80cm2/V's for a P-channel transistor. The leakage current of transistors was O.lpA/um. The threshold voltage was 0.8V for an N-channel and -0.8V for a P-channel transistor, respectively. ,150~s of the delay time per stage and 0.15pJlgate 'of power-delay product at VDD=5V were obtained in the ring oscillator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
