  • Patent number: 7563659
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a poly-Si thin film and a method of fabricating a poly-Si TFT using the same are provided. The poly-Si thin film is formed at a low temperature using inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). After the ICP-CVD, excimer laser annealing (ELA) is performed while increasing energy by predetermined steps. A poly-Si active layer and a SiO2 gate insulating layer are deposited at a temperature of about 150° C. using ICP-CVD. The poly-Si has a large grain size of about 3000 ? or more. An interface trap density of the SiO2 can be as high as 1011/cm2. A transistor having good electrical characteristics can be fabricated at a low temperature and thus can be formed on a heat tolerant plastic substrate.
