Poly-Si TFT Fabricated at 150 deg C Using ICP-CVD and Excimer Laser Annealing

Abstract

We fabricated poly-Si thin-film transistors at 150/spl deg/C using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and excimer laser annealing (ELA). An Si film deposited by ICP-CVD was recrystallized using ELA, and a poly-Si film with large grains exceeding 5000 /spl Aring/ in diameter was fabricated. An SiO/sub 2/ film with a high breakdown field was deposited by ICP-CVD. A high mobility exceeding 100 cm/sup 2//Vs and a low subthreshold swing of 0.76 V/dec were successfully achieved.
