Bottom-Gate Thin-Film Transistors Fabricated by Excimer Laser Annealing

Article Preview

Abstract:

High performance and device uniformity n-channel low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) bottom-gate (BG) thin film transistors (TFTs) with artificially-controlled lateral grain growth have been performed by excimer laser crystallization (ELC). The BG TFTs (W/L = 1.5 μm/1.5 μm) demonstrate field-effect-mobility of 323 cm2/Vs and high Ion/Ioff of 9.5 × 108. The proposed BG TFTs reveal the superior electrical characteristics, device uniformity, and reliability than conventional top-gate ones.
