摘要： A process of fabricating a flexible TFT back-panel on a glass support includes a step of providing a flat glass support member sufficiently thick to prevent bending during the processing. A layer of etch stop material is positioned on the upper surface of the glass support member and an insulating buffer layer is positioned on the layer of etch stop material. A TFT back-panel is positioned on the insulating buffer layer and a flexible plastic carrier is affixed to the TFT back-panel. The glass support member is etched away, whereby a flexible TFT back-panel is provided. The TFT back-panel can include a matrix of either OLED cells or LCD cells.

摘要： The process of fabricating a flexible TFT back-panel includes depositing etch stop material on a glass support. A matrix of contact pads, gate electrodes and gate dielectric are deposited overlying the etch stop material. Vias are formed through the dielectric in communication with each pad. A matrix of TFTs is formed by depositing and patterning metal oxide semiconductor material to form an active layer of each TFT overlying the gate electrode. Source/drain metal is deposited on the active layer and in the vias in contact with the pads, the source/drain metal defining source/drain terminals of each TFT. Passivation material is deposited in overlying relationship to the TFTs. A color filter layer is formed on the passivation material and a flexible plastic carrier is affixed to the color filter. The glass support member and the etch stop material are then etched away to expose a surface of each of the pads.

摘要： A method of fabricating a stable, high mobility metal oxide thin film transistor includes the steps of providing a substrate, positioning a gate on the substrate, and depositing a gate dielectric layer on the gate and portions of the substrate not covered by the gate. A multiple film active layer including a metal oxide semiconductor film and a metal oxide passivation film is deposited on the gate dielectric with the passivation film positioned in overlying relationship to the semiconductor film. An etch-stop layer is positioned on a surface of the passivation film and defines a channel area in the active layer. A portion of the multiple film active layer on opposite sides of the etch-stop layer is modified to form an ohmic contact and metal source/drain contacts are positioned on the modified portion of the multiple film active layer.
