    Abstract: A low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor and a method of forming the polysilicon layer inside the thin film transistor. An amorphous silicon layer is formed over a panel. The panel has a display region and a peripheral circuit region. A metallic layer is formed over a portion of the amorphous silicon layer in the peripheral circuit region. A crystallization process is performed to transform the amorphous silicon layer in the peripheral circuit region into a polysilicon layer. Thereafter, an excimer laser annealing process is performed to increase the grain size of the polysilicon layer in the peripheral circuit region and, at the same time, transform the amorphous silicon layer in the display region into a polysilicon layer. Since the average grain size of the polysilicon layer in the peripheral circuit region is larger, electron mobility is increased as demanded. Similarly, since the average grain size of the polysilicon layer in the display region is smaller, leakage current is decreased as demanded.

    Abstract: Providing a semiconductor device with a TFT structure with high reliability In a CMOS circuit formed on a substrate 100, a subordinate gate wiring line (a first wiring line) 102a and main gate wiring line (a second wiring line) 107a is provided in an n-channel TFT. The LDD regions 113 overlaps the first wiring line 102a and does not overlap the second wiring line 107a. Thus, applying a gate voltage to the first wiring line forms the GOLD structure, while not applying forms the LLD structure. In this way, the GOLD structure and the LLD structure can be used appropriately in accordance with the respective specifications required for the circuits.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to our discovery of a method of etching a shaped cavity in a substrate, where the shaped cavity has a width that is at least as great as its depth. We have discovered that by varying the process chamber pressure during etching of the shaped cavity, we can control lateral etching of the shaped cavity, while allowing the removal of etch process byproducts from the shaped cavity during continued etching. The method of the invention can be used to etch shaped cavities having round or horizontal elliptical shapes. The method of the invention is particularly useful in the etching of buried cavities, where removal of etch byproducts from the cavity can be difficult.

    Abstract: A method for forming a MOSFET having greatly reduced leakage current between the gate electrode and the channel, source and drain regions. The method requires the use of gate electrode materials having lower electron affinities than the channel, source and drain regions. Gate electrode materials with negative electron affinities will also achieve the objectives of the invention. The use of these gate electrode materials enables the band structures of the gate electrode and the other regions to be aligned in a manner that eliminates tunneling states for carriers tunneling between the gate and the body of the device.
