    摘要: An improved target for storage of electric charge, in an electron beam addressable memory, utilizes an anodic oxide grown upon a semiconductor layer, forming part of a semiconductor diode structure. The anodic oxide is overlayed with a planar film of conductive material and the target structure is scanned with an electron beam for writing of electric charge storage therein and reading of the electron charge patterns therefrom over relatively greater numbers of erase/write operations relative to a target having a thermally-grown oxide layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a thin film transistor (TFT) includes the steps of forming a gate conductor on a substrate; depositing a gate dielectric layer of silicon nitride over the gate conductor; treating the exposed silicon nitride on the surface of the gate dielectric layer with a hydrogen plasma at a power level of at least 44 mW/cm.sup.2 for at least 5 minutes; depositing a layer of amorphous silicon semiconductor material over the gate dielectric layer; depositing a layer of n+ doped silicon over the treated amorphous silicon surface; depositing a layer of source/drain metallization over the n+ doped layer; and patterning the source/drain metallization and portions of the underlying n+ doped layer to form source and drain electrodes. The deposition of the TFT material layers and the hydrogen plasma treatment is preferably by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

    摘要: Positive control over the length of the overlap between the gate electrode and the source and drain electrodes in a thin film transistor is provided by a gate conductor layer comprising two different conductors having differing etching characteristics. As part of the gate conductor pattern definition process, both gate conductors are etched to expose the underlying material and the upper gate conductor layer is etched back to expose the first gate conductor layer in accordance with the desired overlap between the gate electrode and the source and drain electrodes. Thereafter, the remainder of the device is fabricated with the source and drain electrodes self-aligned with respect to the second gate conductor layer using a planarization and non-selective etch method.

    摘要: A low noise fluoroscopic radiation imager includes a large area photosensor array having a plurality of photosensors arranged in a pattern so as to have a predetermined pitch, and a low noise addressable thin film transistor (TFT) array electrically coupled to the photosensors. The TFT array includes a plurality of low charge retention TFTs, each of which have a switched silicon region that has an area in microns not greater than the value of the pitch of the imager array expressed in microns. The portion of the switched silicon region underlying the source and drain electrodes of the TFT is not greater than about 150% of the portion of the switched silicon region in the channel area of the TFT. The ratio of the TFT channel width to channel length (the distance between the source and drain electrodes across the channel) is less than 20:1, and commonly less than 10:1, with the channel length in the range of between about 1 .mu.m and 4 .mu.m. The photosensor array also includes crossover regions between address lines that have substantially no silicon therebetween so that no switched silicon region exists at the crossovers.
