    摘要: To form a contact layer on source and drain electrodes of a stagger-type TFT, a conductive material is selectively sticked to the surface of the source and drain electrodes and a contact layer is selectively deposited by using the conductive material as growth species to form an active semiconductor layer on the contact layer. For an inverted-stagger-type TFT, a conductive material is selectively deposited on the surface of a contact layer to use the selectively deposited conductive material as source and drain electrodes so that patterning is unnecessary. To selectively deposit a contact layer of a TFT by alternately repeating etching and deposition, the temperature for the etching is set to 200° C. or lower. A contaminated layer on the surface of a semiconductor film serving as an active semiconductor layer and contact layer of a TFT is removed by plasma at the temperature of 200° C. or lower. For a stagger-type thin-film transistor, the hydrogen or halogen content of an insulating film serving as the substrate of source and drain electrodes is increased. For an inverted-stagger thin-film transistor, the hydrogen or halogen content of an insulating film serving as a channel protective film is increased. Thus, the etching rate of the surfaces of these insulating films by plasma increases.

    摘要: A thin film transistor matrix device comprises an insulating substrate, a plurality of picture element electrodes arranged in a matrix on the insulating substrate, source electrodes connected to the respective picture element electrodes, drain electrodes opposed to the respective source electrodes, operational semiconductor layers sandwiched by the source electrodes and the drain electrodes, and gate electrodes formed on the operational semiconductor layers through gate insulating films, each gate electrode being narrowed with respect to the associated gate insulating film so that side walls of the gate electrode forms a step with respect to side walls of the associated gate insulating film which is a substrate of the gate electrode. The gate electrode is made narrower with respect to the gate insulating film to form a step between the side walls of the gate electrode with respect to those of the gate insulating film, whereby leak currents from the source electrode or the drain electrode to the gate electrode along the mesa side surfaces of the TFT can be simply suppressed. Accordingly a TFT matrix device having little wasteful current consumption can be realized.

    摘要: A thin film transistor matrix device is fabricated by forming a transparent conductor film and a metal film on an insulating substrate in this order. The metal film and the transparent conductor film are together patterned to form picture element electrodes, and drain bus lines or gate bus lines. Source electrodes and drain electrodes may also be formed from the transparent conductor film and metal film. A semiconductor layer, an insulating film and a conductor film may be formed on the entire surface in this order. In this case, the conductor film, the insulator film and the semiconductor layer are patterned to form an active layer from the semiconductor layer, gate insulating films from the insulating film, and gate electrodes and gate bus lines from the conductor film. By patterning the conductor film, the insulating film and the semiconductor layer, the metal film of the picture element electrodes and drain bus lines is exposed. Alternatively, the metal film may be patterned with the semiconductor layer, insulating film and conductor film to expose the transparent conductor film. A current is applied to the drain bus lines or gate bus lines in an electrolyte solution to selectively form a film on the drain bus lines or gate bus lines. The film may be a protecting film serving as a mask to allow the metal film on the picture element electrodes to be etched.

    摘要: In the fabrication of a CMOS-TFT, non-selectively doping (for both of p- and n-type TFTS) and selectively doping (only for the n-type TFT) with p-type impurities (B: boron) are successively performed at very low concentrations to control the threshold voltages (Vthp and Vthn). More specifically, the Id-Vg characteristics of the p- and n-type TFTs are initially negatively shifted. In this state, non-selectively doping is performed positively to shift the p- and n-type TFTs first to adjust the Vthp to a specified value. Selectively doping is then performed positively to shift only the n-type TFT to adjust the Vthn to a specified value. The threshold voltages of the p- and n-type TFTs constructing the CMOS-TFT can be independently and efficiently (with minimum photolithography) controlled with high accuracy.
