摘要:
The invention provides a thin film transistor that can improve its operating speed by improving crystallinity near a bottom surface of a channel layer. Of laser light irradiated onto an amorphous silicon layer, light transmitted through the amorphous silicon layer is absorbed by a gate electrode 130 and thereby produces heat. Since the gate electrode 130 is made of a titanium layer 102 with a low thermal conductivity, the produced heat is less likely to be transmitted through a gate wiring line 110 and dissipated and thus increases the temperature of the gate electrode 130. Radiant heat from the gate electrode 130 is provided to a bottom surface of the amorphous silicon layer and thus the amorphous silicon layer is also heated from its bottom surface. As a result, an amorphous silicon layer 106a melts not only from its top surface but also from its bottom surface and is solidified, whereby crystallization proceeds, and thus, the amorphous silicon layer 106a turns into a polycrystalline silicon layer 106b. Hence, the mobility near a bottom surface of the polycrystalline silicon layer 106b also increases, improving the operating speed of a thin film transistor 100.
