Abstract

We have fabricated a poly-Si TFT using a novel oxidation method, which improves the surface roughness at the interface between the poly-Si layer and the gate oxide layer. Compared with the poly-Si TFTs fabricated by the conventional oxidation method, the proposed poly-Si TFT exhibits the remarkable enhancement of the electrical parameters, such as the subthreshold swing and the threshold voltage. It is observed that the proposed poly-Si TFT has a higher dielectric strength and the device characteristics are not degraded significantly after an electrical stress. The improvement of the surface roughness at oxide/poly-Si interface is found to be critical to enhance the device performance.
