Abstract

A novel self-aligned bottom gate thin film transistor (SABG-TFT) technology with grain enhancement by Metal-Induced- Lateral Crystallization (MILC) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. The unique feature of the technology is the formation of self-aligned and symmetrical lightly doped source/drain (LDD) structure without any additional photolithographic or implantation step. Moreover, devices formed by the proposed method have thick source/drain and a thin channel region for providing low source/drain resistance. The process is demonstrated by P-channel TFTs fabricated at low temperature (≤600 °C), which exhibits symmetrical transfer characteristics. The effective mobility and on-off current ratio of the devices are about 35 cm2/V-s and 6 × 106 respectively.
