Abstract

This paper proposes a new structure of polycrystalline silicon(poly-Si) thin film transistor(TFT) having a thick gate-oxide below the gate edge. The new structure is fabricated by the gate re-oxidation in wet ambient. It is shown that the thick gate-oxide below the gate edge is effective in reducing the leakage current and the gate-drain overlap capacitance. We have simulated this device by using the SSUPREM4 process simulator and the SPISCES-2B device simulator. As a simulation result it is found that the new structure provides a low tentage current less than 0.2 pA and achieves a on/off ratio as high as $5{\times}10^7$.
