Si TFTs are applied not only to stacked SRAM but also to FPD. Improvement of device characteristic such as an enhancement of carrier mobility or a reduction of leakage current is studied intensively. The TFT technology is developing based on conventional Si LSI technology. By establishing a stable fabrication process on flexible substrate and high performance characteristic uniformly and reliably, TFT technology has a possibility to develop to SOP or other highly functional applications similar to or beyond the conventional Si LSI in the era of information and telecommunication.

We present the characterization of poly-Si TFT fabricated below on Plastic Substrate below $170^{\circ}C$ on plastic substrate using excimer laser crystallization of Xe sputtered Si films. Gate insulator with a breakdown field exceeding 8 MV/cm was deposited by using inductively coupled plasma CVD. Finally, we successfully fabricate TFT with a electron field-effect mobility value greater than $290\;cm^2/Vsec$.

A robot hand is used to transport the glass substrate in TFT-LCD manufacturing process. Carbon/epoxy composite is one of the best materials for this kind of robot hand application, due to their lightweight, high stiffness, and good damping characteristics. Major requirement of the robot hand is given as allowable deflection under weight loading of glass substrate and robot hand itself. In this thesis, a carbon/epoxy robot hand was analyzed using finite element method and beam theory to determine the deflection of the hand under the loading that is equivalent to actual weight. Because natural frequency is one of the major interests in robot hand design for TFT-LCD manufacturing process, modal analysis is also conducted using finite element method and beam theory. A robot hand was manufactured, and actual deflection and natural frequency were measured to verify the analysis results and compliance to requirement. The test results showed good agreement with analysis results.

오늘날 표시장치는 경량, 고밀도, 고해상도 대면적화의 요구에 의해 TFT-LCD의 발전이 이루어졌다. TFT에는 반도체 재료로서, Poly-Si을 사용하는 Poly-Si TFT와 a-Si:H를 이용하는 a-Si;H TFT가 있는데 a-Si는 $350^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온으로 제작이 가능하여 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 방향에 맞추어 bottom gate 구조의 a-Si TFT 실험을 진행하였다. P-type silicon substrate ($0.01{\sim}0.02{\Omega}-cm$)에 gate insulator 층인 SiNx (SiH4 : NH3 = 6:60)를 200nm 증착하였다. 그리고 그 위에 active layer 층인 a-Si (SiH4 : H2 : He =2.6 : 10 : 100)을 다른 RF power를 적용하여 100 nm 증착하였다. 그 위에 Source와 Drain 층은 Al 120 nm를 evaporator로 증착하였다. active layer, gate insulator 층은 ICP-CVD 장비를 이용하여 증착하였으며, 공정온도는 $300^{\circ}C$ 로 고정하였다. active layer층 증착시 RF power는 100W, 300W, 500W, 600W로 가변하였고, width/length는 100 um/8um로 고정하였다. 증착한 a-Si layer층을 Raman spectroscope, SEM 측정 하였으며, TFT 제작 후, VG-ID, VD-ID 측정을 통해 전기적 특성인 Threshold voltage, Subthreshold swing, Field effect mobility, ON/OFF current ratio를 비교해 보았다.

In this paper, Schottky barrier thin-film-transistors (SB-TFTs) with platinum silicide at source/drain region based on glass substrate were fabricated. Poly-silicon on glass substrates was crystallized by excimer laser annealing (ELA) method. The formation of pt-silicide at source/drain region is the most important process for SB-TFTs fabrication. We study the optimal condition of Pt-silicidation on glass substrate. Also, we propose this device as promising structure in the future.

Bottom gate thin film transistors (TFTs) with microcrystalline and amorphous Si (a-Si) double active layers (DAL) were fabricated. Since the process of DAL TFTs can use that of conventional a-Si TFTs, these DAL TFT process has advantages, such as low cost, large substrate, and mass production capacity. In order to analyze the degradation characteristics in saturation region for driving TFTs of active matrix organic light emitting diode, three different dynamic stresses were applied to DAL TFTs and a-Si TFTs. The threshold voltage shift of DAL TFTs and a-Si TFTs during 10,000 second stress is 0.3V and 2V, respectively. DAL TFTs were more reliable than a-Si TFTs.

Hot carrier effects as a function of bias stress time and bias stress consitions were syste-matically investigated in p-channel poly-Si TFT s fabricated on the quartz substrate. The device degradation was observed for the negative bias stress, while improvement of electrical characteristic except for subthreshold slope was observed for the positive bias stress. It was found that these results were related to the hot-carrier injection into the gate oxide and interface states at the poly-Si/$SiO_2$interface rather than defects states generation within the poly-Si active layer under bias stress.

This paper will review the state of the latest development of AMLCD manufacturing facilities for large Substrate and discuss the future technologies. The trend of the display size enlargement of Note book PC has hauled the enlargement of the mother glass substrate in past 10 years. The enlargement of a substrate size has brought about the productivity improvement of the TFT panel with process innovation as yet. Will this trend be continuing hereafter too? The issues of the processing and facilities related with the large square substrate and mask step reduction will be overviewed and the future processing and facilities will be discussed.

We report a new direct patterning method, called liquid bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM), for the formation of two- or three-dimensional structures with feature sizes between tens of nanometers and tens of micron over large areas. LB-nTM is based on the direct transfer of various materials from a mold to a substrate via a liquid bridge between them. This procedure can be adopted for automated direct printing machines that generate patterns of functional materials with a wide range of feature sizes on diverse substrates. Arrays of TIPS-PEN TFTs were fabricated on 4" polyethersulfone (PES) substrates by LB-nTM using PDMS molds. An inverted staggered structure was employed in the TFT device fabrication. A 150 nm-thick indium-tin oxide (ITO) gate electrode and a 200 nm-thick SiO2dielectric layer were formed on a PES substrate by sputter deposition. An array of TIPS-PEN patterns (thickness: 60 nm) as active channel layers was fabricated on the substrate by LB-nTM. The nominal channel length of the TIPS-PEN TFT was 10 mm, while the channel width was 135 mm. Finally, the source and drain electrodes of 200 nm-thick Ag were defined on the substrate by LB-nTM. The TIPS-PEN TFTs can endure strenuous bending and are also transparent in the visible range, and therefore potentially useful for flexible and invisible electronics.

Polycrystaline thin film transistors are fabricated on the transparent glass substrate by a lamp-scan annealing. The line-shaped lamp scanning method, which is profitable for large area process, effectively radiated silicon film on glass substrate. Amorphous silion film absorbs the light which is emitted from halogen-lamp and it transformed into crystalline silicon by metal-induced lateral crystallization. In order to enhance the annealing effect, capping layer was deposited on the whole substrate. When the scan speed was 1-2mm/sec, lateral crystallization of amorphous silicon under capping layer was 18~27${\mu}m/scan$. The thin film transistor fabricated by this method shows high electron mobility over 130$cm^2/V{\cdot}sec$
