Thin film transistors were fabricated using polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) film which were directly deposited on Corning 7059 glass substrates by plasma chemical vapor deposition method at very low temperature of 450°C. No annealing procedure was carried out in the fabrication process. The dependences of the crystallinity and the electrical properties on the poly-Si film thickness were investigated for three kinds of films deposited under different conditions. These dependences on the film thickness were found to be strongly influenced by the deposition condition, especially the reaction gas pressure. By choosing optimum poly-Si deposition condition carefully, high performance TFTs have been fabricated by this novel method.
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.
