摘要
Low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors (TFT's) have been fabricated from sputtered silicon films and characterized as a function of as-deposited hydrogen (H) content and laser crystallization fluence. A general trend is observed where TET performance improves as the H content is lowered. Devices made from similar to 0% H sputtered films perform similar to those made from low-pressure chemical-vapor deposition processes (LPCVD), but are fabricated at a much lower processing temperature (300 OC). The best sputtered TFT's had mobilities of similar to 200 cm(2)/Vs, and on/off current ratios of more that 10(8).
