유리 기판 상에 이중 게이트 절연막을 가지는 우수한 특성의 P형 엑시머 레이저 어닐링 (ELA) 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. 그리고 P형 짧은 채널 ELA 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 오프 상태 스트레스 하에서의 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 스트레스하에서 긴 채널에서의 문턱 전압은 양의 방향으로 거의 이동하지 않는 (${\Delta}V_{TH}$ = 0.116V) 반면, 짧은 채널 박막 트랜지스터의 문턱 전압은 양의 방향으로 상당히 이동 (${\Delta}V_{TH}$ = 2.718V)하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이런 짧은 채널 박막 트랜지스터에서 문턱 전압의 양의 이동은 다결정 실리콘 막과 게이트 산화막 사이의 계면에서의 전자 트랩핑 때문이다. 또한, 박막 트랜지스터의 누설 전류는 오프 상태 스트레스 하에서의 채널 영역의 홀 전하로 인하여 온 전류 수준을 감소시키지 않고 억제될 수 있었다. C-V 측정 결과는 계면의 전자 트랩핑이 드레인 접합 영역부근에서 발생한다는 것을 나타낸다.

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.

This paper proposes a novel OLED pixel circuit to compensate the threshold voltage variation of p-channel low temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (LTPS TFTs). The proposed 5-TFT OLED pixel circuit consists of 4 switching TFTs, 1 OLED driving TFT and 1 capacitor. One frame of the proposed pixel circuit is divided into initialization period, threshold voltage sensing and data programming period, data holding period and emission period. SmartSpice simulation results show that the maximum error rate of OLED current is -4.06% when the threshold voltage of driving TFT varies by ${\pm}0.25V$ and that of OLED current is 9.74% when the threshold voltage of driving TFT varies by ${\pm}0.50V$. Thus, the proposed 5T1C pixel circuit can realize uniform OLED current with high immunity to the threshold voltage variation of p-channel poly-Si TFT.

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.

본 논문에서는 역 방향 전하공핍(reverse bias depletion)을 적용한 새로운 구조의 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터(poly-Si TFT)를 제안한다. 제안된 소자는 kink 전류 억제를 목적으로 counter-doped(p+) 영역이 채널 내로 확장되어 유효채널 폭을 감소시키는 구조이다. 감소된 채널 폭에 의하여 포화 영역의 채널 내 저항이 증가하고, 훌 전류를 통하여 kink 효과가 억제된다. 제작된 새로운 poly-Si TFT는 기존의 소자에 비해 효과적으로 kink 전류를 억제할 수 있음을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

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.

Analyzing electrical degradation of polycrystalline silicon transistor to applicable at several environment is very important issue. In this research, after fabricating p channel poly crystalline silicon TFT (thin film transistor) electrical characteristics were compare and analized that changed by gate bias with first measurement. As a result on and off current was reduced by variation of gate bias and especially re duce ratio of off current was reduced by $7.1{\times}10^1$. On/off current ratio, threshold voltage and electron mobility increased. Also, when channel length gets shorter on/off current ratio was increased more and thresh old voltage increased less. It was cause due to electron trap and de-trap to gate silicon oxide by variation of gate bias.

In this paper, the n-channel poly-Si thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFT's) formed by solid phase crystallization (SPC) on glass were investigated by measuring the electrical properties of poly-Si films, such as I-V characteristics, mobility, leakage current, threshold voltage, and subthreshold slope. It is done to decide to be applied on TFT-LCD with large-size and high density. In n-channel poly-Si TFT with 2, 10, 25$\mu\textrm{m}$ of channel length, the field effect mobilities are 111, 126 and 125 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V-s and leakage currents are 0.6, 0.1, and 0.02 pA/$\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. Low threshold voltage and subthreshold slope, and good ON-OFF ratio are shown, as well. Thus, the poly-Si TFT’s used by SPC are expected to be applied on TFT-LCD with large-size and high density, which can integrate display panel and peripheral circuit on a large glass substrate.

The effects of alternate bias stress on p-channel poly-Si TFT\`s has been systematically investigated. We alternately applied positive and negative bias stress on p-channel poly-Si TFT\`s, device Performance(V$\_$th/, g$\_$m/, leakage current, S-slope) are alternately appeared to be increasing and decreasing. It has been shown that device performance degrade under the negative bias stress while improve under the positive bias stress. This effects have been related to the hot carrier injection into the gate oxide rather than the generation of defect states within the poly-Si/SiO$_2$ interface under alternate bias stress.
