The photosensitive organic passivation for the conventional back channel etched (BCE) thin film transistors (TFTs) has been investigated. Through the organic material, the TFT array fabrication process steps can be reduced and higher aperture ratio can be achieved for higher LCD panel performance. The interface between the organic passivation layer and the back channel of the amorphous active region has been passivated by the plasma treatment and the devices exhibit lower leakage current than the conventional silicon nitride (SiN x ) passivation layer of BCE TFTs. The leakage currents between Indium-tin oxide (ITO) pixels and the TFT devices, as well as the thermal-humidity reliability tests have also been investigated in this paper.
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.
