Recently, poly-Si TFT-LCD starts to be mass produced using excimer laser annealing (ELA) poly-Si. The main reason for this is the good quality poly-Si and large area uniformity. We report the influence of channel length and width on poly-Si TITs performance. Transfer characteristics of n-channel poly-Si thin film transistors fabricated on polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFTs) with various channel lengths and widths of $2-30{\mu}m$ has been investigated. In this paper, we analyzed the data of n-type TFTs. We studied threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$), on/off current ratio ($I_{ON}/I_{OFF}$), saturation current (I_{DSAT}$), and transconductance ($g_m$) of n-channel poly-Si thin film transistors with various channel lengths and widths.

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.

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 investigated degradation of short channel n-type poly-Si TFTs with LDD under high gate and drain voltage stress due to self-heating. We have found that the threshold voltage of short channel TFT is shifted to negative direction on the selfheating stress, whereas the threshold voltage of long channel is moved to positive direction.

In this paper, we investigated the SLS process to control grain boundary(GB) location in TFT channel region, and it has been found to be applicable for locating the GB at the same location in the channel region of each TFT. We fabricated TFT by applying a new alignment SLS process and compared the TFT characteristics with a normal SLS method and the grain boundary location controlled SLS method. Also, we have analysed degradation phenomena under hot carrier stress conditions for n-type LDD MOSFETs.

Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT) on polycrystalline silicon(poly-Si) are fabricated by platinum silicided source/drain for p-type SB-TFT. High quality poly-Si film were obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with excimer laser annealing (ELA) or solid phase crystallization (SPC) method. The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFTs showed low leakage current level and a large on/off current ratio larger than $10^5$. Significant improvement of electrical characteristics were obtained by the additional forming gas annealing in 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient, which is attributed to the termination of dangling bond at the poly-Si grain boundaries as well as the reduction of interface trap states at gate oxide/poly-Si channel.

Poly-Si Schottky barrier Thin Film Transistor (SB-TFT) is manufactured with erbium silicided source/drain. High quality poly-Si film was obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with Excimer laser annealing (ELA) method. The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFT devices showed low leakage current and large on/off current ratio. Moreover, the electrical characteristics were considerably improved by 3% $H_2/N_2$ gas annealing, which is attributed to the reduction of trap states at the grain boundaries and interface trap states at gate oxide/poly-si channel.

N-channel poly-Si TFT, Processed by Solid Phase Crystalline(SPC) on a glass substrate, has been investigated by measuring its electrical properties before and after electrical stressing. It is observed that the threshold voltage shift due to electrical stress varies with various stress conditions. Threshold voltages measured in 1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 3$\mu\textrm{m}$ poly-Si TFTs are 3.3V, 3.V respectively. With the threshold voltage shia the degradation of transconductance(G$\_$m/) and subthreshold swing(S) is also observed.
