    摘要: A multi-step CVD method for thin film transistor is disclosed. The method can be carried out by depositing a high quality g-SiN.sub.x at a low deposition rate on top of an average quality gate nitride deposited at a high deposition rate and then depositing an amorphous silicon layer. It also applies in a process where high quality amorphous silicon is first deposited at a low deposition rate on a gate nitride layer to form an interface, and then average quality amorphous silicon is deposited at a high deposition rate to complete the silicon layer. The unique process can be applied whenever an interface exists with an active semiconductor layer of amorphous silicon. The process is applicable to either the back channel etched TFT device or the etch stopped TFT device.

    摘要: An improved method of depositing films of a gate silicon nitride and an amorphous silicon on a thin film transistor substrate at high deposition rates while maintaining superior film quality is provided. The material near the interface between the amorphous silicon and the nitride are deposited at a low deposition rate which produces superior quality films. The region away from the interface are deposited at a high deposition rate which produces lesser, but still good quality films. By using this method, superior quality thin film transistors can be produced at very high efficiency. The method can be carried out by depositing a high quality g-SiN.sub.x at a low deposition rate on top of an average quality gate nitride deposited at a high deposition rate and then depositing an amorphous silicon layer. It also applies in a process where high quality amorphous silicon is first deposited at a low deposition rate on a gate nitride layer to form an interface, and then average quality amorphous silicon is deposited at a high deposition rate to complete the silicon layer. The unique process can be applied whenever an interface exists with an active semiconductor layer of amorphous silicon. The process is applicable to either the back channel etched TFT device or the etch stopped TFT device.

    摘要: A system and method for annealing a film on a substrate in a processing chamber, including a microwave generator disposed to provide microwaves to an area within the interior of the chamber. The microwaves have a frequency such that the film is substantially absorptive at the frequency but the substrate is not substantially absorptive at the frequency. A waveguide distributes the microwaves over the surface of the film to provide a substantially uniform dosage of microwaves over the surface of the film. The method includes depositing a film on a substrate in the processing chamber. During at least a portion of the time of the depositing step, microwaves are generated having a frequency such that the film has an absorption peak at the frequency but the substrate lacks a substantial absorption peak at the frequency. The microwaves are directed towards the film.

    摘要: Method of fabricating a thin-film transistor (TFT) in which a gate metal is deposited onto a substrate in order to form the gate of the thin-film transistor. The substrate may be an insulative substrate or a color filter. In a first method, the gate metal is subjected to an H2 plasma. After subjecting the gate metal to an H2 plasma, the gate insulating film is deposited onto the gate. In a second method, first and second layers of gate insulating film are respectively deposited on the gate at a first and second deposition rates. One layer is deposited under H2 or argon dilution conditions and has improved insulating conditions while the other layer serves to lower the overall compressive stress of the dual layer gate insulator. In a third method, an n+ silicon film is formed on a substrate by maintaining a flow of silane, phosphine and hydrogen gas into a processing chamber at substrate temperatures of about 300° C. or less.

    摘要: Deposition methods for preparing amorphous silicon based films with controlled resistivity and low stress are described. Such films can be used as the interlayer in FED manufacturing. They can also be used in other electronic devices which require films with controlled resistivity in the range between those of an insulator and of a conductor. The deposition methods described in the present invention employ the method of chemical vapor deposition or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; other film deposition techniques, such as physical vapor deposition, also may be used. In one embodiment, an amorphous silicon-based film is formed by introducing into a deposition chamber a silicon-based volatile, a conductivity-increasing volatile including one or more components for increasing the conductivity of the amorphous silicon-based film, and a conductivity-decreasing volatile including one or more components for decreasing the conductivity of the amorphous silicon-based film.
