Abstract

Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films were prepared directly on plastic substrates at a low (< $200^{\circ}C$) by using Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition (Cat-CVD) technique without subsequent annealing steps. Surface roughness of the poly-Si layer and the density of the gate dielectric layer were found to be influential to the TFT performance.
