Abstract

Amorphous silicon thin-film transtors (TFT's) have been designed and fabricated on glass substrates. The hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film has been deposited by decomposing silane(SiH4) in hydorgen ambient by rf glow discharge method. Amorphous silicon nitride(a-Si:H) has been chosen as the gate dielectric material. It has been prepared by decomposing the mixed gas of silane(SiH4) and ammonia(NH3). The electrical properties and performance characteristics of the thin-film transistrs have been measured and compared with the requirements for the switching elements in liquid crystal flat panel display. The results show that liquid crystal flat panel displays can be fabricated using the thin-film transistors described in this paper.
