  • Patent number: 7501652
    Abstract: A thin film transistor source/drain structure and the manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The thin film transistor source/drain structure uses a sandwich structure to reduce the resistivity of the source/drain and upgrade the reliability. The sandwich structure preferably comprises a structure of AlNdN alloy/AlNd alloy/AlNdN alloy. The AlNdN alloy is used as a buffer layer or a diffusion barrier to prevent the AlNd alloy and an amorphous silicon layer from diffusing into each other. The other AlNdN alloy is used as a glue layer and to protect the AlNd alloy from being over-etched. The other AlNdN alloy can also prevent the AlNd alloy and the following formed ITO from contact and interaction.

  • Publication number: 20070187681
    Abstract: A thin film transistor and method of fabrication a thin film transistor and a pixel structure are provided. First, a gate is formed on the substrate. Then, a gate-isolating layer is formed on the substrate to cover the gate electrode. After that, a source/drain is formed on the gate-isolating layer and exposes a portion of the gate-isolating layer above the gate electrode. Then, a channel is formed on the portion of the gate-isolating layer above the gate. The source/drain layer is formed before forming the channel to prevent the channel from over etching as forming the source/drain layer. Therefore, the yields of manufacturing thin film transistor and pixel structure can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20060144696
    Abstract: A magnetron sputtering process is provided. First, a reaction chamber including a substrate base, a target comprised of Al or its alloy or other metals or their alloy with higher melting point, and a magnetron device. Next, a substrate is disposed onto the substrate base. The pressure within the reaction chamber is set from 0.1 pa˜0.35 pa, and then a sputtering process is initiated within the reaction chamber to deposit a film on the substrate. Because the pressure within the reaction chamber is set from 0.1 pa˜0.35 pa, a better step coverage can be achieved during the sputtering process so that a continuous film can be deposited on the substrate without the broken or defective climbing portion of the film. Therefore, the yield of film deposition on the substrate can also be significantly increased.

  • Patent number: 6977193
    Abstract: A Thin Film Transistor (TFT) manufacture method, comprising manufacture of a gate, a gate isolation layer, a channel layer, and a source/drain. Wherein, the manufacture of the channel layer comprises: forming a first a-Si layer by using a low deposition rate (LDR) (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD); forming a second a-Si layer by using a high deposition rate (HDR); and forming an N+Mixed a-Si layer. When the first a-Si layer is formed in the present invention, the flux ratio of H2/SiH4 is adjusted to a range from 0.40 to 1.00 to increase the number of defects in the first a-Si layer. When the TFT is irradiated by the light, the photo leakage current generated in the channel layer is trapped in the defects in the first a-Si layer. Therefore, the TFT photo leakage current can be significantly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20050164592
    Abstract: In those conventional arts, for large-size LCD, the process of copper damascene interconnect has some problems of forming a uneven copper seed layer and forming hollows during electrical plating due to the electrical plating area being too large to electroplate uniformly. In this invention, it employs a Cu tape to directly stick on a substrate to replace forming a copper seed layer and electroplating. Hence, the invention avoids the problem of unevenness and hollows in those conventional arts and so the Cu lines can be applied to the large-size LCD.

  • Patent number: 6841431
    Abstract: A method for reducing the contact resistance using plasma process tries to solve the problem that the cleaning process could not remove both the residues and oxides on the etched surface effectively. A plasma treating process is performed after the cleaning process and before any following process. Herein, the plasma treating process uses the plasma(s) to physically and/or chemically react with the etched surface. For example, inert gas plasma is used to remove these residues and the oxides, and then hydrogen plasma is used to compensate the unsaturated bonds by inducing the ions bombardment of the inert gas plasma.

  • Publication number: 20050001438
    Abstract: A robotic arm that has a main body and pads thereon can prevent electrostatic damage. These pads are used to carry substrates between and in processing machines. A material of these pads is the same as or similar to the material of the substrate to lower the amount of the electrostatic charges produced during the manufacturing process. Therefore, the electrostatic charges cannot damage the electronic devices on the substrate.
