摘要:
A method of manufacturing thin film field effect transistors is described. The channel region of the transistors is formed by depositing an amorphous semiconductor film in a first sputtering apparatus followed by thermal treatment for converting the amorphous phase to a polycrystalline phase. The gate insulating film is formed by depositing an oxide film in a second sputtering apparatus connected to the first apparatus through a gate valve. The sputtering for the deposition of the amorphous semiconductor film is carried out in an atmosphere comprising hydrogen in order to introduce hydrogen into the amorphous semiconductor film. On the other hand the gate insulating oxide film is deposited by sputtering in an atmosphere comprising oxygen.
摘要:
An improved semiconductor processing is disclosed. In the manufacturing process, a semiconductor layer is formed and then undergoes photo annealing. A neutralizer is then introduced to the photoannealed semiconductor. The semiconductor thus formed demonstrates the SEL effect instead of the Staebler-Wronski effect.
摘要:
An improved semiconductor device is disclosed which is free from current leakage due to pin-holes or other gaps. Also an improved method for processing a semiconductor device is shown. According to the invention, gaps produced during the fabricating process of the semiconductor layer are filled with insulator in advance of deposition of electrodes. By virtue of this configuration, short current paths do not result when electrodes are provided on the semiconductor layer.

摘要:
A thin film semiconductor device comprising a substrate having an insulating surface, gate electrodes disposed on the insulating surface, gate insulating films disposed on upper portions of the gate electrodes, and thin film semiconductors disposed on the gate insulating films and including channel forming regions, source regions and drain regions. Two kinds of thin film semiconductor unit are disposed on the substrate. A first thin film semiconductor unit includes the thin film semiconductor of polycrystal, an insulating film covering an upper portion of the channel forming region, impurity semiconductor films doped with trivalent or pentavalent impurities and covering the source region and the drain region, and conductive films disposed on the impurity semiconductor films. A second thin film semiconductor unit includes the thin film semiconductor of amorphous, and other components similar to the first thin film semiconductor unit.
摘要:
An interlayer insulating film (104) that is formed on a substrate (101) so as to cover TFTs (102, 103) is planarized by mechanical polishing that is typified by CMP. Pixel electrodes (106, 107) are formed on the interlayer insulating film (104) and an insulating layer (108) is formed so as to cover the pixel electrodes. The insulating layer (108) is planarized by second mechanical polishing so that the surfaces of the pixel electrodes become flush with those of resulting buried insulating layers (112, 113). Since the pixel electrode surfaces have no steps, such problems as alignment failures of a liquid crystal material and a contrast reduction due to diffused reflection of light can be prevented.

An improved semiconductor device is disclosed which is free from current leakage due to pin-holes or other gaps. Also an improved method for provessing a semiconductor device is shown. According to the invention, gaps produced in fabricating process of the semiconductor layer are filled with insulator in advance of deposition of electrodes. By virtue of this configuration, short current paths do not result even if transparent electrode is provided on the semiconductor layer.

An improved semiconductor processing is desclosed. In the manufacturing process, just formed semiconductor layer undergoes photo annealing and latent dangling bonds are let appear on the surface and gaps, then neutralizer is introduced to the ambience of the semiconductor. The semiconductor thus formed demonstrates SEL effect in place of Staebler-Wronski effect.
