비정질실리콘의 고상결정화 및 다결정실리콘의 열상화를 포함한 고온공정으로 제작한 다결정실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 서브트레시홀드 특성을 연구하였다. 제작된 소자의 전계효과이동도는 60$ extrm{cm}^2$/V.s 이상, 서브트레시홀드 수윙은 0.65 V/decade 이하로 전기적 특성이 매우 우수하다. 그러나, 소자의 문턱전압이 음게이트전압으로 크게 치우쳐 있으며 n-채널과 p-채널 소자간의 서브트레시홀드 특성이 크게 다르다. 열성장된 게이트 산화막을 가진 다결정실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 서브트레시홀드 특성을 다결정실리콘 활성층내의 트랩과, 게이트산화막과 다결정실리콘 사이의 계면 고정전하를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 다결정실리콘의 트랩모델이 실험결과를 잘 설명할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터(TFT)의 누설전류를 줄이기 위하여 채널의 중간에 선택적으로 도핑된 영역을 가진 새로운 다결정 실리콘 TFT를 제안한다. 제안된 TFT에서는 채널의 일부가 선택적으로 도핑되어 채널 전체에 걸리는 전기장이 재분배된다. 제안된 n-채널 TFT는 $V_{GS}$<0, $V_{DS}$>0인 조건에서, 대부분의 전기장이 드레인 접합에 형성되는 공핍영역과, 도핑된 영역 중 소오스 쪽과 도핑되지 않은 채널 사이에 형성되는 공핍영역에 각각 나뉘어 걸린다. 기존의 다결정 실리콘 TFT와 비교할 때 드레인 접합에서 걸리는 전기장은 1/2로 감소하였고, 이에 따라 드레인 접합에서 생성되는 전자-홀 쌍도 현저히 감소하였다. 더구나 제안된 TFT의 온-전류는 기존의 TFT와 비교했을 때 거의 같거나 약간 감소하였으며 이에 따른 온/오프 전류비가 현저히 향상되었음을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

A novel pixel circuit that uses only n-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) to compensate the threshold voltage variation of a OLED driving TFT is proposed. The proposed 6T1C pixel circuit consists of 5 switching TFTs, 1 OLED driving TFT and 1 capacitor. When the threshold voltage of driving TFT varies by ${\pm}0.33$ V, Smartspice simulation results show that the maximum error rate of OLED current is 7.05 % and the error rate of anode voltage of OLED is 0.07 % at Vdata = 5.75 V. Thus, the proposed 6T1C pixel circuit can realize uniform output current with high immunity to the threshold voltage variation of poly-Si TFT.

The devices of n-channel poly silicon thin film transistors(TFTs) hydrogenated by plasma, $H_2$ and $H_2$/plasma processes are fabricated. The carriers sensitivity characteristics are analyzed with voltage bias stress at the gate oxide. The parametric sensitivity characteristics caused by electrical stress conditions in hydrogenated devices are investigated by measuring the drain current, threshold voltage($V_{th}$), subthreshold slope(S) and maximum transconductance($G_m$) values. As a analyzed results, the degradation characteristics in hydrogenated n-channel polysilicon thin film transistors are mainly caused by the enhancement of dangling bonds at the poly-Si/$SiO_2$ interface and the poly-Si grain boundary due to dissolution of Si-H bonds. The generation of traps in gate oxide are mainly dued to hot electrons injection into the gate oxide from the channel region.

Improved performance and suppressed short-channel effects of polysilicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) with very thin electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) $N_2$O-plasma gate oxide have been investigated. Poly-Si TFTs with ECR $N_2$O-plasma oxide ($N_2$O-TFTs) show better performance as well as suppressed short-channel effects than those with conventional thermal oxide. The fabricated $N_2$O-TFTs do not show threshold voltage reduction until the gate length is reduced to 3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for n-channel and 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for p-channel, respectively. The improvements are due to the smooth interface, passivation effects, and strong Si ≡ N bonds.

A buried channel poly-Si TFT (BCTFT) for application of high performance integrated circuits has been proposed and fabricated. BCTFT has unique features, such as the moderately-doped buried channel and counter-doped body region for conductivity modulation, and the fourth terminal entitled back bias for preventing kink effect. The n-type and p-type BCTFT exhibits superior performance to conventional poly-Si TFT in ON-current and field effect mobility due to moderate doping at the buried channel. The OFF-state leakage current is not increased because the carrier drift is suppressed by the p-n junction depletion between the moderately-doped buried channel and the counter-doped body region.

The electrical characteristics of n-channel LDD structured poly-Si TFT's have been systematically investigated. It have been found that the LDD regions act as the effect of series resistance and reducing the electric field. Kink effect is disappeared and off current is greatly reduced, while on current is slightly reduced. On/off current ratio graph shows that LDD device's switching characteristic is better than that of conventional device. As a result of study, it is concluded that the effect of electric field's reduction is more dominant than that of series resistance.

We have fabricated the poly-silicon thin film transistor(TFT) which has the LDD-region with graded spacer. The devices of n-channel poly-si TFT's hydrogenated by $H_2$ and $H_2$/plasma processes were fabricated for the devices reliability. We have biased the devices under the gate voltage stress conditions of maximum leakage current. The parametric characteristics caused by gate voltage stress conditions in hydrogenated devices are investigated by measuring/analyzing the drain current, leakage current, threshold voltage($V_{th}$), sub-threshold slope(S) and transconductance($G_m$) values. As a analyzed results of characteristics parameters, the degradation characteristics in hydrogenated n-channel polysilicon TFT's are mainly caused by the enhancement of dangling bonds at the poly-Si/$SiO_2$ interface and the poly-Si grain boundary due to dissolution of Si-H bonds. The structure of novel proposed poly-Si TFT's are the simplicities of the fabrication process steps and the decrease of leakage current by reduced lateral electric field near the drain region.
