Abstract

In this paper, Amorphous silicon on glass substrate was recrystallized to poly-crystalline silicon by solid phase crystallization (SPC) technology. The active region of thin film transistor (TFT) was fabricated by amorphous silicon. The output and transfer characteristics of thin film transistor with lightly doped drain (LDD) structure was measured and analyzed. As a results, analyzed TFTs reliability with LDD's length by various kinds argument such as sub-threshold swing coefficient, mobility and threshold voltages were evaluated. Stress effects in TFT were able to improve to the characteristics of turn-on current and hot carrier effects by LDD's length variations.
