    Abstract: A gradient in the composition of at least one of the elements of a metal-based semiconductor layer is introduced as a function of depth through the layer. The gradient(s) influence the current density response of the device at different gate voltages. In some embodiments, the composition of an element (e.g. Ga) is greater at the interface between the metal-based semiconductor layer and the source/drain layers. The shape of the gradient profile is one of linear, stepped, parabolic, exponential, and the like.

    Abstract: Methods for HPC techniques are applied to the processing of site-isolated regions (SIR) on a substrate to form at least a portion of a TFT device used in display applications. The processing may be applied to at least one of gate dielectric deposition, gate dielectric patterning, metal-based semiconductor deposition, metal-based patterning, etch stop deposition, etch stop patterning, source/drain deposition, or source/drain patterning. The SIRs may be defined during the deposition process with uniform deposition within each SIR or the SIRs may be defined subsequent to the deposition of layers wherein the layers are deposited with a gradient in one or more properties across the substrate.
