Abstract

A novel technique has been proposed for selective and in -situ excimer-laser crystallization and doping to thin poly-Si films. Dopant atoms are supplied, during the Si laser crystallization process, to the Si film on glass from the doped SOG (spin-on-glass) film coated on the top. Conductivity of the processed film was increased to more than 10S/cm from about 10−8S/cm of the starting film. This technique has been applied to the bottom gate amorphous-Si TFTs with self-aligned poly-Si source and drain. The electron field-effect mobility was 1.0cm2/Vs and the on/off current ratio was more than 106. No parasitic effects were observed, and the hole conduction was effectively. This in-situ crystallization and doping technique can also be applied to the top gate a-Si TFT process.
