Publication number: 20060240647Abstract: The surface of an amorphous silicon film formed on a glass substrate is cleaned by hydrofluoric acid in a spin clean unit. The glass substrate is conveyed to a waiting unit where the glass substrate is made to wait for about 15 minutes. Active fluoride adhered on the amorphous silicon film is sublimated. The glass substrate in which the active fluoride is sublimated is conveyed into a laser annealing device where the amorphous silicon film is excimer laser annealed to reform the amorphous silicon film into a polysilicon film. The residuals of the charges in the polysilicon film generated by excimer laser annealing the surface of the amorphous silicon film with the active fluoride adhered to the surface of the amorphous silicon film can be prevented. A thin film transistor having desired TFT characteristics can be manufactured.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2006Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: TOSHIBA MATSUSHITA DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi MITSUHASHI, Naoya Ito

Patent number: 6255199Abstract: A thin film transistor to be adapted to each pixel switch in a liquid crystal display has a polycrystalline silicon layer which is acquired by crystallizing amorphous silicon deposited on a glass substrate by laser annealing. A characteristic curve indicating the intensity distribution of a laser beam in this laser annealing has a peak shifted on the upstream side in the direction the glass substrate is moved. In the laser annealing of amorphous silicon, the laser beam is irradiated on the amorphous silicon in such a way that a higher-intensity portion of the laser beam hits the amorphous silicon first. This can make the fluence margin of a laser beam in laser annealing wide enough to achieve a high field-effect mobility and a high yield.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hiroshi Mitsuhashi, Yoshito Kawakyu

Patent number: 6194023Abstract: A method of manufacturing a poly-crystalline silicon (p-Si) film includes the steps in which an excimer laser anneals an amorphous silicon (a-Si) film deposited on a glass substrate and makes the same into the poly-crystalline silicon while the glass substrate is moved in a moving direction relative to the laser. Prior to carrying out the annealing step, a couple of the laser pulses are applied to different places of the a-Si film, provided that each of the laser pulses has different energy fluence and one pulse at a time is applied to the a-Si film. The pulse applied area is divided into two sections by a reference line perpendicular to the moving direction of the glass substrate. Average grain sizes of the p-Si film in the two sections are compared to each other to determine the moving direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1998Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hiroshi Mitsuhashi, Yuki Matsuura, Takashi Fujimura, Nobuo Imai, Yasumasa Goto

Patent number: 5253989Abstract: A scroll fluid apparatus has a revolving scroll and an auxiliary crank as a rotation prevention mechanism. The revolving scroll has a two-layer structure including an auxiliary member having an annular plate portion, and an end plate member having an end plate, the two members being superposed axially. A positioning mechanism is provided between the auxiliary member and the end plate member to position and unite them in a circumferential direction. When the end plate member expands radially due to a rise in temperature, the end plate is displaced radially while being in sliding contact with the annular plate portion. The end plate is fastened to the annular plate portion through a bolt portion at the center thereof, where the amount of radial displacement due to the thermal expansion is the smallest. Accordingly the annular plate portion is not displaced radially and thus, no radial load acts on the auxiliary crank.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1992Date of Patent: October 19, 1993Assignee: Tokico Ltd.Inventors: Manabu Shindo, Hiroshi Mitsuhashi, Susumu Sakamoto, Hiroyuki Kamagami, Minoru Machino
