  • Patent number: 5728592
    Abstract: A thin film transistor matrix device is fabricated by forming a transparent conductor film and a metal film on an insulating substrate in this order. The metal film and the transparent conductor film are together patterned to form picture element electrodes, and drain bus lines or gate bus lines. Source electrodes and drain electrodes may also be formed from the transparent conductor film and metal film. A semiconductor layer, an insulating film and a conductor film may be formed on the entire surface in this order. In this case, the conductor film, the insulator film and the semiconductor layer are patterned to form an active layer from the semiconductor layer, gate insulating films from the insulating film, and gate electrodes and gate bus lines from the conductor film. By patterning the conductor film, the insulating film and the semiconductor layer, the metal film of the picture element electrodes and drain bus lines is exposed.

  • Patent number: 5480818
    Abstract: A crystal silicon film deposited on an insulating film made of a binary system material or a binary system semiconductor film formed by an atomic layer deposition method has a grain as large as approximately 200 nm. Thus, the mobility of carriers is increased. The crystal silicon thereof is grown within a temperature range of 250.degree. C. to 400.degree. C. Accordingly, when a planar type thin film transistor, an inverted stagger type thin film transistor or a stagger type thin film transistor is formed using crystal silicon formed on these films made of a binary system material, transistor characteristics thereof are improved.
