摘要:
A laser beam irradiation method that achieves uniform crystallization, even if a film thickness of an a-Si film or the like fluctuates, is provided. The present invention provides a laser beam irradiation method in which a non-single crystal semiconductor film is formed on a substrate having an insulating surface and a laser beam having a wavelength longer than 350 nm is irradiated to the non-single crystal semiconductor film, thus crystallizing the non-single crystal silicon film. The non-single crystal semiconductor film has a film thickness distribution within the surface of the substrate, and a differential coefficient of a laser beam absorptivity with respect to the film thickness of the non-single crystal semiconductor film is positive.

A thin-film transistor includes a pair of impurity semiconductor layers in which an impurity element imparting one conductivity type is added to form a source and drain regions so as to be overlapped at least partly with a gate electrode with a gate insulating layer interposed between the gate electrode and the impurity semiconductor layers; a pair of conductive layers which is overlapped over the gate insulating layers at least partly with the gate electrode and the impurity semiconductor layers, and is disposed with a space therebetween in a channel length direction; and an amorphous semiconductor layer which is in contact with the gate insulating layer and the pair of conductive layers and is extended between the pair of conductive layers.
摘要:
A thin film transistor includes, as a buffer layer, an amorphous semiconductor layer having nitrogen or an NH group between a gate insulating layer and source and drain regions and at least on the source and drain regions side. As compared to a thin film transistor in which an amorphous semiconductor is included in a channel formation region, on-current of a thin film transistor can be increased. In addition, as compared to a thin film transistor in which a microcrystalline semiconductor is included in a channel formation region, off-current of a thin film transistor can be reduced.

The thin film transistor includes a gate insulating layer covering a gate electrode, over a substrate having an insulating surface; a semiconductor layer forming a channel formation region, in which a plurality of crystal regions is included in an amorphous structure; an impurity semiconductor layer imparting one conductivity type which forms a source region and a drain region; and a buffer layer formed from an amorphous semiconductor, which is located between the semiconductor layer and the impurity semiconductor layer. The thin film transistor includes the crystal region which includes minute crystal grains and inverted conical or inverted pyramidal grain each of which grows approximately radially from a position away from an interface between the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer toward a direction in which the semiconductor layer is deposited in a region which does not reach the impurity semiconductor layer.

The thin-film transistor includes a pair of impurity semiconductor layers in which an impurity element imparting one conductivity type is added to form a source and drain regions, provided with a space therebetween so as to be overlapped with a gate electrode with a gate insulating layer interposed between the gate electrode and the impurity semiconductor layers; a pair of semiconductor layers in which an impurity element which serves as an acceptor is added, overlapped over the gate insulating layers with the gate electrode and the impurity semiconductor layers, and disposed with a space therebetween in a channel length direction; and an amorphous semiconductor layer being in contact with the gate insulating layer and the pair of semiconductor layers and extended between the pair of semiconductor layers.
摘要:
The thin film transistor includes, over a substrate having an insulating surface, a gate insulating layer covering a gate electrode, an amorphous semiconductor layer over the gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer including an impurity element imparting one conductivity type over the amorphous semiconductor layer. The amorphous semiconductor layer comprises an NH radical. Defects of the amorphous semiconductor layer are reduced by cross-linking dangling bonds with the NH radical in the amorphous semiconductor layer.
