P‐5: Spacer Technique to Fabricate pSi TFTs with 50nm Nanowire Channels

Abstract

AbstractIn this work, polycrystalline silicon thin‐film transistors (poly‐Si TFTs) with 50‐nm nanowire (NW) channels fabricated without advanced photolithography by using a sidewall spacer formation technique are proposed for the first time. Because the poly gate electrode is perpendicularly across poly‐Si NW channels to form a tri‐gate‐like structure, the proposed poly‐Si NW TFT owns an outstanding gate controllability. In summary, a simple and low‐cost scheme is proposed to fabricate high‐performance poly‐Si NW TFT suitable for future display manufacturing and practical applications.
