  • Patent number: 7425477
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor is provided. A buffer layer is formed on a substrate, and then a first and a second poly-silicon island are formed thereon. A gate-insulating layer is formed on the substrate, and a first and a second gate are formed thereon. A sacrificed layer is formed on the substrate and a photo-resist layer is formed thereon. The sacrificed layer above the first poly-silicon island is removed by using the photo-resist layer as a mask. A first ion implantation process is performed to form a first source/drain. The photo-resist layer is removed and a second ion implantation process is performed to form a second source/drain. At the same time, the second ion implantation process is used to implant ions into the buffer layer below the two sides of the second gate. A lightly-doped ion implantation process is performed after removing the sacrificed layer.

  • Patent number: 7192815
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a thin film transistor is described. A polysilicon island is formed over a substrate. A gate insulating layer is formed over the substrate to cover the polysilicin island. A gate is formed on the gate insulating layer above the polysilicon island. A passivation layer is formed over the substrate to cover the gate and the gate insulating layer. An ion implanting process is carried out to form a source/drain in the polysilicon island beside the gate, wherein a region between the source and the drain is a channel. After the first passivation layer is removed, a patterned dielectric layer is formed over the substrate, wherein the dielectric layer exposes a portion of the source/drain. A source/drain conductive layer is formed over the dielectric layer and is electrically connected to the source/drain.

  • Publication number: 20060110868
    Abstract: A method is disclosed to make a lightly doped drain of a low-temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor. Nitrogen is implanted during steps of doping the source and the drain so as to suppress the spreading of the other types of dope so that the poly-silicon layer forms a shallow interface lightly doped drain after annealing. Implantation of nitrogen takes place before or after the other types of dope. Nitrogen is implanted to a depth no greater than that of the other types of dope. The present is simple, improves hot carrier effect and repairs flaws in the poly-silicon layer.
