摘要
We studied the performance improvement of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistor (TFT) using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) SiO2 as a gate insulator. The threshold voltage and the subthreshold swing decrease remarkably by N-2 plasma treatment on the APCVD SiO2 surface even though the field effect mobility changes little, indicating that the interface state density around the Fermi level is reduced significantly by N-2 plasma treatment. We obtained the high performance a-Si:H TFT with the field effect mobility of 1.25 cm(2)/V s, the threshold voltage of 3.5 V and the subthreshold swing of 0.45 V/dec.
