    摘要: Double injection field effect transistors, which may be horizontally or vertically arranged, each include a body of semiconductor material extending between two current-carrying electrodes and forming a current path therebetween. The semiconductor body of each may be substantially intrinsic or lightly doped. One or more control electrodes or gates located adjacent to each current path project a variable electric field over the ambipolar path, which modulates current by controlling the amount of charge carriers of both polarities injected into the semiconductor body. In most of the single gate embodiments, the electrodes extend across a portion, preferably a major portion such as 75% or 90%, or the length of the current path, but not the entire length of the current path. The embodiments having a plurality of gates typically have two insulated gates, one extending from the anode electrode and the other extending from the cathode electrode. The gates in a single device may overlap.Embodiments having electrodes with doped microcrystalline regions for improved carrier injection are disclosed. Methods for making planar double injection field effect transistors having a plurality of deposited noncrystalline semiconductor layers for clean interface formation between semiconductor layers are also disclosed.

    摘要: Cell circuitry in an array on a substrate includes a TFT or other structure with a series of two or more channels and with an intrachannel region between each pair of adjacent channels in the series. Each intrachannel region has a continuously distribution of dopant particles and the distribution of dopant particles in the intrachannel regions together controls reverse gate bias leakage current without significantly reducing ON current. The average dopant density in intrachannel regions can be sufficiently low to ensure that reverse gate bias leakage current is approximately constant across a range of reverse gate bias voltages. For applications such as light valve arrays, sensor arrays, and memory arrays in which each cell includes a capacitive element for storing a level of charge in one of two or more voltage bands, the average dopant density of intrachannel regions can ensure that reverse gate bias leakage current is sufficiently low that a level of charge stored by the capacitive element remains within its voltage band during a storage period.

    摘要: An array includes cells, each with a bottom gate amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si TFT). Each a-Si TFT has an undoped amorphous silicon layer over its gate region and extending beyond its edges. Each a-Si TFT also has an insulating region with edges approximately aligned with the edges of its gate region. Two channel leads of doped semiconductor material such as microcrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon are on the undoped amorphous silicon layer, each overlapping an edge of the insulating region by a distance that is no more than a maximum overlap distance, which in turn is no more than 1.0 .mu.m.

    摘要: In the channel layer of a thin film transistor (TFT), a channel and its drain meet at a transition within a transition region. The channel extends in a first, or horizontal, dimension away from the drain and extends in a second, or vertical, dimension from a side away from the gate to a side toward the gate. The charge carrier densities in the transition region vary in the second dimension in a way that reduces leakage current, because the position of the maximum electric field is moved away from the gate and its magnitude is reduced. Variation of densities in the second dimension can be produced by high angle implantation of a dopant and a counterdopant, providing a transition region between the drain and the channel underneath the gate. Variation of densities in the second dimension can also be produced with non-angled implantation by a process in which a sidewall spacer offsets the drain, providing a transition region that is between the drain and the channel and that can be doped independently of the drain. In a symmetric TFT in which either channel lead can function as a drain, charge carrier densities can vary in the second dimension at the transitions between each channel lead and the channel.

    摘要: An amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si TFT) or other a-Si device is produced by depositing and lithographically patterning a layer of doped semiconductor material such as microcrystalline or polycrystalline silicon to produce a conductive lead. The semiconductor material is deposited over an insulating region and over an exposed part of an amorphous silicon layer. The insulating region has an edge that is over and approximately aligned with an edge of a gate region. The doped semiconductor layer therefore forms a junction to the amorphous silicon layer at the edge of the insulating region, approximately aligned with the edge of the gate region. Self-aligned lithographic patterning is performed in such a way that the conductive lead overlaps the insulating region by a distance that is no more than a maximum overlap distance. The maximum overlap distance can, for example, be no more than 1.0 .mu.m, and can be 0.5 .mu.m. The insulating region and the doped semiconductor layer can both be lithographically patterned by a combination of self-aligned backside exposure and top masked exposure. Overlap distance can be controlled by timing backside exposure, application of developer, baking, or application of etchant.
