Abstract:
A method of forming a polysilicon thin film transistor that includes depositing an amorphous silicon layer over a substrate, crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer into a polycrystalline silicon layer, patterning the polycrystalline silicon layer to form a polysilicon active layer for a thin film transistor, depositing silicon oxide over the polysilicon active layer to form a gate insulation layer under a vacuum condition, applying heat to anneal the gate insulation layer under a vacuum condition and forming a gate electrode on the annealed gate insulation layer.
Abstract:
A method of forming a polysilicon thin film transistor is disclosed in the present invention. The method includes forming a buffer layer on a transparent substrate, forming an amorphous silicon layer on the buffer layer, crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer into a polysilicon layer using a sequential lateral solidification (SLS) method, patterning the polysilicon layer to form a polysilicon active layer, performing a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process to the polysilicon active layer under a H2 atmosphere, performing a rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process to form a silicon-oxidized layer on the polysilicon active layer after the RTA process, and forming a metal layer over the transparent substrate to cover the silicon-oxidized layer.
