Abstract

Photo-leakage-current of poly-Si (polycrystalline Si) TFFs has been investigated by using the rear irradiation OBIC (Optical Beam Induced Current) method. In the case of the offset gate TFIs, it was found that the photo-leakage-current was generated in the offset region of the drain electrode side. In order to reduce the photo-leakage-current, low concentration phosphor (P) was doped in the offset region, which corresponds to LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) structure. In the LDD TFT, the photo leakage current at the offset region decreased remarkably, because of the reduction of hole transportation in this region.
