Abstract:
A heat sink layer is formed on portions of a substrate, and then an amorphous silicon layer is formed thereon. The heat coefficient of the heat sink layer is greater than that of the substrate. When an excimer laser heats the amorphous silicon layer to crystallize the amorphous silicon, nucleation sites are formed in the amorphous silicon layer on the heat sink layer. Next, laterally expanding crystallization occurs in the amorphous silicon layer on the substrate to form polysilicon having a crystal size of a micrometer.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a thin film transistor (TFT) includes first providing a strip-shaped silicon island which is a thin film region with a predetermined long side and short side. Next, the strip-shaped silicon island is subject to an ion implantation to form a first ion doping region and a second ion doping region. The first and second ion doping regions, respectively used as the source and the drain of the TFT, are located at two sides along the long side of the island and substantially perpendicular to the gate. A gate is formed over the strip-shaped silicon island and the first and second ion doping regions, wherein the gate is substantially parallel to the direction of the short side.

Abstract:
A buffer layer, a protective layer and a poly-silicon layer are formed on a substrate in turn, and the poly-silicon layer is then patterned to form island active regions. Next, n-type ions are implanted into portions of the poly-silicon layer to form source/drain regions. Then, a dilute buffer oxide etchant is utilized to micro-etch the poly-silicon layer to change the surface morphology of the poly-silicon. Finally, a laser annealing process is performed to partially melt the poly-silicon for forming a smooth surface and activating the source/drain region of the poly-silicon simultaneously.

A method for fabricating a thin film transistor (“TFT”) device includes providing a substrate, forming a patterned amorphous silicon layer over the substrate including a pair of first regions, a second region disposed between the pair of first regions, and at least one third region, each of which being disposed between and contiguous with the second region and each of the pair of first regions, the second region including a sub-region contiguous with each of the at least one third region, forming a heat retaining layer over the substrate, irradiating the patterned amorphous silicon layer with a laser through the heat retaining layer to form a patterned crystallized silicon layer corresponding to the patterned amorphous silicon layer including a grain boundary extending substantially across a crystallized sub-region corresponding to the sub-region, and forming a patterned conductive layer over a portion of a crystallized second region of the patterned crystallized silicon layer corresponding to the second region of the patterned amorphous silicon layer.
Abstract:
An amorphous silicon layer is formed on a substrate, and then a protective layer and a reflective layer are formed in turn to form a film stack on portions of the amorphous silicon layer. The reflective layer is a metal material with reflectivity of laser, and the protective layer is able to prevent metal diffusion. When an excimer laser heats the amorphous silicon layer to crystallize the amorphous silicon, nucleation sites are formed in the amorphous silicon layer under the film stack of the protective layer and the reflective layer. Next, laterally expanding crystallization occurs in the amorphous silicon layer to form poly-silicon having crystal grains with size of micrometers and high grain order.
