    摘要: A thin film transistor includes, as a buffer layer, a semiconductor layer which contains nitrogen and includes crystal regions in an amorphous structure between a gate insulating layer and source and drain regions, at least on the source and drain regions side. As compared to a thin film transistor in which an amorphous semiconductor is included in a channel formation region, on-current of a thin film transistor can be increased. In addition, as compared to a thin film transistor in which a microcrystalline semiconductor is included in a channel formation region, off-current of a thin film transistor can be reduced.

    摘要: A thin film transistor includes, over a substrate having an insulating surface, a gate insulating layer covering a gate electrode; a semiconductor layer which includes a plurality of crystalline regions in an amorphous structure and which forms a channel formation region, in contact with the gate insulating layer; a semiconductor layer including an impurity element imparting one conductivity type, which forms source and drain regions; and a buffer layer including an amorphous semiconductor between the semiconductor layer and the semiconductor layer including an impurity element imparting one conductivity type. The crystalline regions have an inverted conical or inverted pyramidal crystal particle which grows approximately radially in a direction in which the semiconductor layer is deposited, from a position away from an interface between the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer.

    摘要: Disclosed is a thin film transistor which includes, over a substrate having an insulating surface, a gate insulating layer covering a gate electrode; a semiconductor layer which functions as a channel formation region; and a semiconductor layer including an impurity element imparting one conductivity type. The semiconductor layer exists in a state that a plurality of crystalline particles is dispersed in an amorphous silicon and that the crystalline particles have an inverted conical or inverted pyramidal shape. The crystalline particles grow approximately radially in a direction in which the semiconductor layer is deposited. Vertexes of the inverted conical or inverted pyramidal crystal particles are located apart from an interface between the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer.
