摘要:
A method of crystallizing an amorphous semiconductor film, the method comprising the steps of: forming a gate electrode on a transparent insulating substrate; forming a gate insulating film on the transparent insulating substrate and on an upper part of the gate electrode; forming an amorphous semiconductor film on the gate insulating film; forming a light-transmissive insulating film on the amorphous semiconductor film; forming a metal film having an opening on the light-transmissive insulating film; irradiating laser light onto both a region of the light-transmissive insulating film exposed by the opening and the metal film, which is used as a mask for shielding the laser light; and performing laser annealing to make the laser light to be absorbed through the light-transmissive insulating film into a region of the amorphous semiconductor film exposed by the opening, so that the amorphous semiconductor film is heated and converted to a crystalline semiconductor film.
摘要:
On a translucent substrate, an insulating film having a refractive index n and an amorphous silicon film are deposited successively. By irradiating the amorphous silicon film with a laser beam having a beam shape of a band shape extending along a length direction with a wavelength λ, a plurality of times from a side of amorphous silicon film facing the insulating film, while an irradiation position of the laser beam is shifted each of the plurality of times in a width direction of the band shape by a distance smaller than a width dimension of the band shape, a polycrystalline silicon film is formed from the amorphous silicon film. Forming the polycrystalline silicon film forms crystal grain boundaries which extend in the width direction and are disposed at a mean spacing measured along the length direction and ranging from (λ/n)×0.95 to (λ/n)×1.05 inclusive, and crystal grain boundaries which, in a region between crystal grain boundaries adjacent to each other and extending in the width direction, extend in the length direction and are disposed at a mean spacing measured along the width direction and ranging from (λ/n)×0.95 to (λ/n)×1.05 inclusive.
摘要:
In a thin film transistor using a polycrystalline semiconductor film, when a storage capacitor is formed, it is often that a polycrystalline semiconductor film is used also in one electrode of the capacity. In a display device having a storage capacitor and thin film transistor which have a polycrystalline semiconductor film, the storage capacitor exhibits a voltage dependency due to the semiconductor film, and hence a display failure is caused. In the display device of the invention, a metal conductive film 5 is stacked above a semiconductor layer 4d made of a polycrystalline semiconductor film which is used as a lower electrode of a storage capacitor 130.
