摘要:
The production method of the thin film transistor according to the present invention involves the reactive heat CVD process to form the active layer and the source-drain layer. This offers the advantage of eliminating additional steps to crystallize the semiconductor thin film. The resulting stacked thin film transistor is composed of originally crystalline semiconductor thin films. Having the active layer and the source-drain layer formed from crystalline semiconductor thin film, the stacked thin film transistor has a faster working speed than the one formed from amorphous semiconductor thin film. Another advantage of eliminating steps for crystallization is uniform quality which would otherwise be adversely affected by crystallization. In addition, the fact that the source-drain layer is formed from a previously doped crystalline semiconductor thin film means that there is no need for any step to introduce impurities after film formation.
摘要:
Method of forming a high-quality polycrystalline semiconductor thin film having large grain sizes by laser annealing. First, a film formation step is carried out to grow a semiconductor layer on an insulating substrate under certain film formation conditions, thus forming a precursory film. This precursory film comprises clusters of microscopic crystal grains. Then, an irradiation step is carried out. That is, the precursory film is irradiated with a laser beam such as an excimer laser pulse. The crystal sizes are increased to change the precursory film into a polycrystalline semiconductor thin film. During the film formation step, a precursory film having a crystal grain size of more than 3 nm is formed at a temperature of 500 to 650.degree. C., for example, by LPCVD or APCVD. Under these conditions, the resulting polycrystalline precursory film is substantially free from hydrogen. During the irradiation step, a single pulse of excimer laser radiation is emitted.
