초록

A-Si:H and poly-Si TFT characteristics were investigated using an inverted staggered type TFT. The poly-Si films were achieved by various anneal techniques ; isothermal, RTA, and excimer laser anneal. The TFT on as-grown a-Si:H exhibited a low field effect mobility, transconductance, and high gate threshold voltage. Some films were annealed at temperatures from $200^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$. The TFT on poly-Si showed an improved $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio of $10^6$, reduced gate threshold voltage, and increased field effect mobility by three orders. Inverter operation was examined to verify logic circuit application using the poly-Si TFTs.
