Abstract
AbstractFabrication of hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistors (TFT) on thin polyamide sheets is reported. A single graphite filament at 1500 °C was used for HWCVD and device quality amorphous silicon films were deposited with no thermal damage to plastic substrate. Top-gate staggered thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated at 150°C using hot-wire deposited a-Si channel, Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) silicon nitride gate dielectric, and microcrystalline n+ drain/source contacts. Low leakage current of 5×10-13 A, high switching current ratio of 1.3×107, and small sub threshold swing of 0.3 V/dec was obtained for TFTs with aspect ratio of 1300μm/100μm. The field effect mobility was extracted to be 0.34 cm2/V.s.
