Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of ion shower implantation to adjust threshold voltages on ELC (excimer laser crystallized) poly silicon thin film transistors. We observed that the threshold voltages of poly Si TFT strongly depended on the shower implantation dose, not the shower implantation energy for the 500 Å-thick active silicon layer. The threshold voltages for the reference, dose 5×1011 cm-2, and 1×1012 cm-2 cases were 0.30V, 1.25V, and 2.04V, respectively. We conclude that the threshold voltage can be appropriately adjusted by tuning the dose of the counter doping shower implant and its DIBL can still be suppressed to within an acceptable level.
