Bottom-gate microcrystalline silicon thin film transistors (${\mu}c$-Si:H TFTs) were fabricated on glass and transparent polyimide substrates by conventional 13.56 MHz RF plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at $200^{\circ}C$. The deposition rate of the ${\mu}c$-Si:H film is 24 nm/min and the amorphous incubation layer near the ${\mu}c$-Si:H/silicon nitride interface is unobvious. The threshold voltage of ${\mu}c$-Si:H TFTs can be improved by $H_2$ or $NH_3$ plasma pretreatment silicon nitride film.

Leakage current produced by backside illumination on bottom-gated amorphous silicon thin film transistor has been investigated. The experimental results show that the leakage current of bottomgated structure is significantly dependent on the shape of amorphous silicon pattern. A proper design of amorphous silicon pattern has been suggested in viewpoint of reducing the leakage current as well as mass production.

Frequency filters with various filtering wavelengths were used in the photoelectric characterization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) and the experimental results were described and analyzed in terms of the photon energy spectral characteristics calculated from the integration of the photon energy and the spectral intensity of transmitted backlight through the filters at each wavelength. From the comparison of the photocurrents and the calculated photon energy spectrums for the filtered ranges of wavelength, it was possible to conclude that the photocurrents are closely related to the photon energy spectrums of the backlight.

Amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are fabricated on flexible organic polymer foil substrates. As-fabricated performance, electrical bias-stability at elevated temperatures, electrical response under mechanical flexing, and prolonged mechanical stability of the TFTs are studied. TFTs made on plastic at ultra low process temperatures of $150^{\circ}C$ show initial electrical performance like TFTs made on glass but large gate-bias stress instability. An abnormal saturation of the instability against operation temperature is observed.

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.

The electrical characteristics of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistor (TFT) crystallized by excimer laser annealing (ELA) method were evaluated, The polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor (poly-Si TFT) has higher electric field-effect-mobility and larger drivability than the amorphous silicon TFT. However, to poly-Si TFT's using conventional processes, the temperature must be very high. For this reason, an amorphous silicon film on a buried oxide was crystallized by annealing with a KrF excimer laser (248 nm)to fabricate a poly-Si film at low temperature. Then, High permittivity $HfO_2$ of 20 nm as the gate-insulator was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to low temperature process. In addition, the solid phase crystallization (SPC) was compared to the ELA method as a crystallization technique of amorphous-silicon film. As a result, the crystallinity and surface roughness of poly-Si crystallized by ELA method was superior to the SPC method. Also, we obtained excellent device characteristics from the Poly-Si TFT fabricated by the ELA crystallization method.

A new analytical expression for the temperature variation characteristics of hydrogenerated amorphous silicon thin film transistors(a-si:H TFT), between 223K and 433K, is presented and experimentally verified. The results show that the experimental transfer and output characteristics at several temperatures are easily modeled between -5$0^{\circ}C$ and 9$0^{\circ}C$. The model is based on three functions obtained from the experimental data of IS1DT versus VS1GT. Theoretical results confirm the simple form of the model in terms of the device geometry. It was determined that as the temperature increased, the saturated drain current increased and, at a fixed gate voltage, the device saturated at increasingly larger drain voltages while the threshold voltages decreased.

Amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si TFTs) were incorporated into Mo-tip-based triode-type field emitters and diode-type ones of carbon nanotubes for an active-matrix cathode (AMC) plate of field emission displays. Also, we developed a novel surface-treatment process for the Mo-tip fabrication, which gleatly enhanced in the stability of field emission. The field emission currents of AMC plates on glass substrate were well controlled by the gate bias of a-Si TFTs. Active-matrix field emission displays (AMFEDs) with these AMC plates were demonstrated in a vacuum chamber, showing low-voltage matrix addressing, good stability and reliability of field emission, and highly uniform light emissions from the anode plate with phosphors. The optimum design of AMFEDs including a-Si TFTs and a new light shield/focusing grid is discussed.
