    摘要: Two-terminal switching devices of MIM type having at least one electrode formed by a liquid phase processing method are provided for use in active matrix backplane applications; more specifically, MIM devices with symmetric current-voltage characteristics are applied for LCD active matrix backplane applications, and MIM devices with asymmetric current-voltage characteristics are applied for active matrix backplane implementation for electrophoretic displays (EPD) and rotating element displays. In particular, the combination of the bottom metal, metal-oxide insulator and solution-processible top conducting layer enables high throughput, roll-to-roll process for flexible displays.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a stable, high mobility metal oxide thin film transistor includes the steps of providing a substrate, positioning a gate on the substrate, and depositing a gate dielectric layer on the gate and portions of the substrate not covered by the gate. A multiple film active layer including a metal oxide semiconductor film and a metal oxide passivation film is deposited on the gate dielectric with the passivation film positioned in overlying relationship to the semiconductor film. An etch-stop layer is positioned on a surface of the passivation film and defines a channel area in the active layer. A portion of the multiple film active layer on opposite sides of the etch-stop layer is modified to form an ohmic contact and metal source/drain contacts are positioned on the modified portion of the multiple film active layer.

    摘要: A method of fabricating MOTFTs on transparent substrates by positioning opaque gate metal on the substrate front surface and depositing gate dielectric material overlying the gate metal and a surrounding area and metal oxide semiconductor material on the dielectric material. Depositing selectively removable etch stop material on the semiconductor material and photoresist on the etch stop material to define an isolation area in the semiconductor material. Removing uncovered portions of the etch stop. Exposing the photoresist from the substrate rear surface using the gate metal as a mask and removing exposed portions leaving the etch stop material overlying the gate metal covered. Etching the semiconductor material to isolate the TFT. Selectively etching the etch stop layer to leave a portion overlying the gate metal defining a channel area. Depositing and patterning conductive material to form source and drain areas on opposed sides of the channel area.

    摘要: A method including providing a substrate with a gate, a layer of gate insulator material adjacent the gate, and a layer of metal oxide semiconductor material positioned on the gate insulator opposite the gate, forming a selectively patterned etch stop passivation layer and heating at elevated temperature in an oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing or inert ambience to selectively increase the carrier concentration in regions of the metal oxide semiconductor not covered by the etch stop layer, on which overlying and spaced apart source/drain metals are formed. Subsequently heating the transistor in an oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing or inert ambience to further improve the source/drain contacts and adjust the threshold voltage to a desired level. Providing additional passivation layer(s) on top of the transistor with electric insulation and barrier property to moisture and chemicals in the surrounding environment.
